Content IS King
Pete Blackshaw and his post yesterday on Ten Reasons Why I Should Stop Blogging hits the nail on the head with regard to blogging. Speaks right to my heart as someone who runs this part-time, personal blog effort (I actually started long before a crowded blogosphere existed).
Knowing that I have a hard enough time getting my gabillion thoughts out of my head for my personal posting - I have crazily enough considered doing a blog with more topical focus (where I would then presumably schedule the effort needed as tasks into my daily live).
My hinderences to this are are:
- Everything Pete lists in his post
- Figuring out the specific subject matter I would focus on (I do the lazy version, now, and laziness, apparently, suits me).
At the end of the day (cliche alert) - "Content is King". Don't know who said that, but, yep - I think they got it right.
UPDATES (yes, already)
1) Demonstrative of my above discussed laziness lives within this post itslef (genius at work?) - I failed to mention that I found Pete's entry by way of Matt Blumberg and Only Once. Matt's blog, by the way, in my opinion, stands strong against each of Pete's points and is quite a stellar example of a focused, well-maintained, compelling content-based blog. A great example of what a blogger should strive for.
2) Just out of curiosity, I checked to see if www.contentisking.com was available. Sadly, it is in use, and sadder still, look at it...
Ah, the irony of it all. Content IS king, and contentisking.com needs content!
