I just read "No One Cares What You Had for Lunch: 100 Ideas for Your Blog" & am inspired. Now on to putting ideas in motion. I am teaching a blog class for the next 8 weeks at BRCC. Come out & see me!

Rough Survey - Blogger

10 sites at a time I checked 100 Blogger blogs through the day yesterday using the "Next" button at the top. Here are my findings:

33 written in English
68 less than 10 posts in 2009
75% had something to do with the bloggers family

Maybe the NYT article had some merit...

That means there are a lot of dead blogs floating around in the nether regions of cyberspace. I think I'm going to try to find a few & post them in links from time to time. Who knows what I'll find?
