A Good Blog?


How would you finish this sentence?

A good blog will....

What are the first words that come to mind?

Educate?

Entertain?

Challenge?

While pondering this, several questions arose.

  • Why do I visit a blog? Does it pertain to writing or another topic of interest?
  • What do I look to take away from a blog? Links? Tips? Encouragement? A little of each?
  • What do I offer in the way of a good blog? 

The last question, to me, serves as a reminder and challenge to offer thought provoking value, info, encouragement, and fellowship. As a writer, I believe a blog can be an outlet and a tool that aligns with what I feel called to do. What do you think?

I happened across these links recently and thought they tied in nicely. If you have a moment, I'd be interested to see if you agree.

P.S. Thanks to all for your kind words and prayers regarding my mother in law's recent surgery. She is feeling better, and is resting at home for now.
