What do you do with your blog?
Do you simply use it to, erm well, just blog? Just throw in some text? What are the other possible uses of a blogging service? Besides being used as an online diary (now, that’s an understatement!), what else can we do with this ever-popular thing called Weblog a.k.a. Blog?
I have gathered a list of things we can do with our blogging accounts here – please contribute if you can think of more (of course you can!). And of course I know that the fundamental thing to do with a weblog is just simply to blog!
Things you can do with your Blog: 1. Use it as an online diary. Very useful for people living overseas, where they can use this means to communicate their thoughts, feelings, and current situation to members of the family or friends back home.
2. Use it as a discussion board for your own group(s) where the owner/members may post new topics up for discussion. Of course, you may have easily signed up with an online group service like MSN’s, Yahoo! Asia’s, or Google’s, but… ok ok, this is lame…
3. Use it to organize and manage an oncoming party/BBQ. For example, if you have a party coming up the next weekend, instead of calling people up to confirm the individual tasks and ‘in-charge-ofs’, you can simply get your friends to visit this site to update the details on who buys what, who brings what and who does what!
4. Use it as a ‘Latest Update’ page like I have done so at my gallery. The center section of that main page of the site is updated and maintained with a blog. Any new photos that I put up, I will go to blogger.com and post an update statement there. Visitors to the site will be updated on what is current.
5. Use it as a rant space. This is where you literal-fuck all those things, issues, or people you don’t like! Do not underestimate the extend of the power of the digital voice! Blogs nowadays are watched and read by many authorities (for security, and for feeling the ground on current issues).
Ok, I ran out! Any more from you?
