Blogexplosion

Geek that I am, I joined Blogexplosion, initially thinking that
it would be just another way to get more site hits. Most wri-
ters do like to be read. I'm not sure that's one of the seven
deadly sins. Or even against the ten commandments. Or if you
happen to an atheist, or even a Christian now pretending to be
atheist, against any of the published atheist credos either.
We could ask Madeline, but sadly... She was offed a few years
ago. And sap that I am, I was sad about it. Figures. But any-
way.

And incidentally, my minor? It was in writing. So you might
say, I'm doing what I do. Except that I happen to be doing it
online. If you don't like it, or you think it sucks, I'm sure
you're in plenty of good company. Here's a word of advice.
Don't READ it. Anyway, back to the matter at hand....

Screw the site hits, Blogexplosion has been a really cool way to
find great new blogs to read. Another favorite hobby of mine.
Did I say read? Screw the reading part. Its been a cool way
to find great new blogs to LOOK AT. I love seeing everything
that's out there in the blogworld.

And I never cease to be amazed by how creative some people
are. I am so jealous of the talent some of these folks have. It
is truly amazing. Some of the blogs out there are just eye candy.
It wouldn't matter if they didn't write a damn thing, the blogs
they have created are just so absolutely beautiful to look at.

And I know this brings me to a favorite point of contention. What
exactly is a blog? I maintain that a blog is personal expression of
any type. I know a lot of people who say that it is not. They say
that it should be mainly verbiage. Mainly words. Fewer photos.
I say that it doesn't matter. Its your blog, you express yourself
however you see fit. Self-expression is just that. What do you say?

Here are a few I liked. Not necessarily because they had a lot of
photos. Just because their blog formats were really cool. As in,
way way cooler than mine. Umm, which granted, is SO not hard
to do: Twist of Kate <-- Cool! Ok. this next one is just... Say it! it's cute as pie: Teatopia

Two of my favorites in terms of being just, from a female stand-
point, pretty - are: Psychobabble and Not Your Typical Southern
Belle
Here are some other blogs that caught my eye for whatever reason:
Pretty Geek Melodrama Jukebox My Blog The Panic Blog

Awful Souls Lost In Wisconsin Insider's View of Life

Ok, now I'm moving on. This one's just interesting because it's a
German guy with an English blog in which he uses English actually
so well I'd never have known. Except that occassionally he'll need-
lessly ask, did I use this word correctly? All Ralph

I've got a couple of thoughts about this one below. 1. Cool graphics.
2. Was I ever ever this young? 3. She loves her dog.
Thinking Out Loud

Kissable Baby <-- I'm still trying to figure this one out. Umm Cool Graphics though. This blog I just plain liked. Least of My Worries

And last but not least... A camera phone blog, nude photos and
all. It's kind of creepy and sleazy. That's why I had to include it.
