What Makes for a Good Blog?

Good blogs have a voice.
Good blogs reflect focused obsessions.
Good blogs are the product of “Attention times Interest.”
Good blog posts are made of paragraphs.
Good “non-post” blogs have style and curation.
Good blogs are weird.
Good blogs make you want to start your own blog.
Good blogs try.
Good blogs know when to break their own rules.

I agree with all the statements made in that article. All the blogs I've ever seen have had a specific purpose, whatever the user's hobby might be, anything, ranging from sports, to tv shows, to web design, on any other hobby. A good blogger, or any person conversing on the internet, should have good typing skills. People get annoyed very quickly by people who type in chat speak and can not put a complete sentence together correctly. However, a good blog can be done without a load of words, as many photographers can use their blog as an online portfolio.

Either way, the main way to attract attention to a blog is simple, be creative!
