I made a blog back a few months ago...I even attached it to my profile here at mylot but I feel bad because I forget about it alot until I see a discussion regarding things to do with your blog. It has been a couple months now that I have really updated it and now that I am thinking of it again I think I should spend some time on it today... if I get the chance!! I spend days on the computer but I go to mylot, or I clear out my paid emails, and I also visit a couple of my other paid to sites... only my poor neglected blog gets forgotten!! do you have a blog, are you on it every day or weekly?? What is your stragedy with your blog?? how popular is it?? Do you have any tips for me on how often I should update my blog?? Happy mylotting!!

I was not interested in blogs but thanks to bitcomet, I got a blog in its online account and after creating it, I did not (still I do not) know what to put in it. Can anyone please suggest me what to put in a blog and its format.

as it is for me now, I am still learning more about blogs myself..and I see a ton of them regarding money making sites with payment proofs...some do them about there personal life... or what ever they have an interest in like writing short stories, food journals, topics of interest to them... I am trying to get back into my sites and building up my computer time...so I am learning as I go along as well. thanks for the response and have a great day!!

my suggestion is to start on Blogger, it is free to sign up with and build from there.. and check out alot of other blogs on that site... and learn from them.. that is my goal in the next month or two to really put effort into my blog and learn more about it. thanks for the response and good luck to you if you choose to start a blog!! have a great day!!

I have many blogs and I have started when ever I get an idea. But its hardly not possible to operate all the blog in a single day. So I scheduled according my current interest. I do update my blogs as per schedule every time. Its very important to me to update them regularly.

i got my own personal blog but i seldom update it, i think most probebaly twice per week. As my blog mainly to keep track my online earning payment proof, if no payment proof then i got nothing to write about.

oh I think that makes sense...if it is updated by payment proofs then you dont have to go back until you get payment... I hope you get lots more payments so you can do the proofs!! thanks for the response and have a great day!!

Yes, I do have a blog. However, just like you I always tend to forget updating it. I started it 2007 and was only able to create 21 post, which I am planning to delete a couple of my post there and make it a fully commercialized blog. Last year, I was only able to create less than 10 posts I think and just last month, I have started updating it again. I hope I can get a push to really continue it. I'm trying to learn the secrets of those successful bloggers which earns hundreds of $$$ every month.

I do not blog. Obviously, I use some message boards from time to time. What blogging websites do you recommend?

I do have a blog but I only use it to post my articles that I write for Associated Content. I am not faithful with updating it either unfortunately. In fact, thinking about it now, I should go post a few of my recently published AC articles to it! So many websites to visit and not enough computer time to do it!

Well i am working on an adult blog so i guess my blog is not for everybody. It gives download links for adult videos and stuffs. I know it's morally wrong but just nothing personal. It's my bread and butter (...for the mean time of course). I update my blog as often as possible. Demand depends on the theme of your blog. I think you should make your blog as attractive as possible. neat. people would love to read more if your blog is organized. Labels are important so keep them meaningful and relevant.

Yeap, i think there's no need to update everyday but perhaps once in two days? so that your readers will have time to read and comment on your posts. My suggestion will be perhaps you can choose a topic or several focus for your blog, for example, photography, food or computers so that your blog can have a focus instead of mixture of everything. :)happy blogging!

I have also a blog and I started 3 months ago to make my own blog. My last post is last month because sometimes I don't have time enough to check my blog and post something into it. What I have learned in making a blog is you have to look for a keywords or use the search engine optimization for your blog to be known or in the page rank.

In fact, I am running 3 blogs at the same time, one written in English and 2 in Chinese. From where I stand, a blog is our platform to show ourselves and our opinions so I always work on it everyday. Sometimes, I may be tired of posting to my blog everyday too, but it will bring you a lot if you can keeping writing. You'd better update your blog weekly if you just treat it as a personal platfom yourself. But for me, I want to gain some too, so I want to work on it everyday.

Dear myLot friend. What has gone forget It. Now you make your Blog,if possible On Blogger. Write useful contents. Visit other blogs. Comment on other blogs. What is your content, You copy it & open your any mail account, Go to compose mail,here you paste your Content. Save the draft. Do not write any address in address bar. You must update it frequently. I have blog,& I update it frequently At least daily. Many people have a nos of blog.

I just started a blog yesterday lol, so i am very new to it and my posts are if anything, a way to vent frustrations so far. I'm going to try and add something daily (I hope). Are they supposed to be popular or are they just like online journals that you are actually willing to share for possible 3rd party objective? Sorry to answer your questions with more questions :\

If your blogging because you want to make money, you may post everyday, but if it is a personal blog, you may post any time you want But if you blogging because you want your blog to be successful, i suggest you to post daily, 2 posts every day.

I made a blog a month before, I nearly forget it after reading your topic. I'm very pleased to build my blog, but I spent my little time to work on it, because many ways I need to learn. Regarding your new blog, I think you can log in your blog and write something everyday, so you will have more reviews if you update it often.
