hiya.. I have recently set up a new blog, and I am making this discussion about blogging.. who does it and why?


my blog: eyemaywonder.blogspot.com

I have set up this blog mainly to keep a diary of uni work (I am a student studying visual communication, which is mainly illustration and graphic design based) and links to useful research.. I will no doubt use if for random thoughts, linking to other blogs, designers, news, images etc.. and generally widening the little thought space i live in... i want to learn everything i can. This is just one of my many ploys ^_^



So.. if you keep a blog, whats the link and why do you do it? ^_^
(indiepublic, vox, blogger.. all blogs are welcome in this discussion..)

I started a blog because I wanted a place to have more information for my customers, add articles about fragrance, and
have a public record of press that my company has received...besides which blogger is nicely free. I can't fit everything
on my etsy page!

I blog because I can.

No, seriously, I blog because I am promoting my etsy shop. (http://decmeadow.etsy.com)
I also promote other etsians.

I blog about my personal life in the same blog. It humanizes me to the buyers I think :)

does blogging about the things you sell have any effect on your sales?

only if people can find it....

You can blog till your fingers go numb, and you can have the greastest most imformative most creative blog, but if no one can find you, it won't do you any good.

That is why Link-Exchanging is so important. As well as having TAGs for your blog posts. It all helps move you up in the search engines, and helps people actually find you!

Mimii, I have a question about Link-Exchanging. What is the proper way to ask for a link exchange? Are you expected to post something positive about the blog you want the link exchange with before asking them? In other words, do you form a friendship first? Or do you just come out and ask for an exchange.... even though they've probably never visited your site.

I do the tags and the pings. I also applied to get in the DMOZ Open directory and the Yahoo Directory. It's also important to apply to get pinged for the Google Blog Search.

I blog to promote the handmade community (and of course my own wares). I'm over at http://prettylittleloveobjects.blogspot.com

I do!

My blog is as random as it gets--sometimes I'll throw a tutorial up there, along with projects I'm working on, and lately, I have been re-posting some old Catster diary entries from a few years back when my kitties were registered with them.

I use this blog mainly to promote my friends shops and the shops that I either purchace from or fav on etsy etc.
I also post tutorials, freebies, and sweepstakes/giveaways!
It is FULL of pictures and videos and sometimes self promotion
:P (hey its my blog I can do whatever I want right?)
I am a big fan of helping others, there are two places on my blog where I have linked to other peoples blogs, shops, and websites. One is for link exchange (There is a link for it right at the top of my blog which explains all about how helpful link-exchanging really is) and one is for the places I like to visit regularly =]
