So who here WRITES a blog? And what ones do YOU read?

[ChapManiA]

I try to p*ss off the locals by writing a blog about my hometown of Burgess Hill.
http://burgesshilluncovered.blogspot.com/ It's fun baiting people by slagging off the council.

...I'll check out your blogs

(and everyone else's on this thread, I read a mad number of blogs every day)

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Link to mine is 'Outbox' in my sig. Thoughts on sport interspersed with occasional atheist ranting.

The only one I read regularily is Robert Preston's BBC one.

With all due respect to mark and Half man's whose actually are pretty good, I am not a great fan of non professional writings as I always tend to end up ( sadly) correcting the grammar instead of reading what they are on about.

Also some people tend to use it as a "look at me" followed by "please".

Strike Factory

is the ONLY Blog worth reading.FACT.

Half Man Half Biscuit's European Football Weekends is very good.

yep. can't believe the original poster missed that one.

My blog has been shelved for the time being. I plan to relaunch at some point - it lost its original meaning and use.

Silence is not always Golden

This one:Unhappy Hipsters

It's a mickey take of modern and post-modernist design. It makes me laugh.

 

[Durlston]

Usually read stuff in bogs rather than blogs like "Carly ****** sucked me off in here".

That's genius.

The photos are cleverly re-produced as well, I'm not a photographer but they've got that pretentious filter that makes it look like Kodak film from the 70s. Last used in the production of knitting patterns.

I really hope architects and interior designers aren't looking at that in a ironic "oh aren't we funny" type way.

I'd like to see one on those people who claim to see the "digital future". I'm really hoping they read it back in ten years time and their musings resemble an episode of Tomorrows World from the mid 70s.

yep. can't believe the original poster missed that one.

It is one of the ones my blog has links to on. I love it, just didn't want to mention ALL the ones I read.

Hovian, yeah the Sweatshop Tacchinardi one is mine. Cheers fella.

along with the tslr one i have a music one which i do with 2 friends.

it's actually got pretty massive, we're probably in the top 25 most read dance music blogs on the net because of the aggregators we're listed on. we get lots of free music but it's a thankless medium, people read from mexico, not my home in manchester, so it's not so rewarding.

i used to be part of a manchester listings website too, we won best blog at the manchester literary awards which was a highlight, plus best arts and culture at the manchester blog awards. we also got nominated for best music website at the record of the day awards, which is a big music industry publication in london. i interviewed lots of cool people for that blog.

i'd like to make the tslr blog more sophisticated, but it's better to concentrate on the actual paper fanzine, it's easy to start an albion blog, but nobody has started an actual fanzine since 2008.

wearebrighton has impressed be recently, they have the right idea.

No.

none.
