It cracks me up to read some of the blogs (both here locally and nationally) that try so hard to be controversial. Most of these bloggers are so interested in getting readers, pageviews, and comments that they’ll make ridiculous entries/statements that will stir the pot in the community.
This type of blogger will look for anything and everything to criticize because they know that it will attract readers to their blog. I’m not saying that it’s wrong to be critical in your blog. In fact, I should probably be a little more candid in my entries, but I guess that my motivations for blogging are different from their motivations. What I’m saying is that it gets a little old to read a blog that is always cynical and tries so hard to be controversial.
I’m 100% positive that a lot of those same people believe that my blog is boring. I hardly write about controversial topics. In fact, I love to write about good news, learning experiences, and topics on entrepreneurship.
This entry brings up a good question — why do you write/read blog entries?
