Blog Commandments

The blogs seem to be dying, bloggers are disappearing, some of my thoughts on whats wrong and how we can revive this place.

Just a YouTube link is not a blog

A blog not allowing comments is not a blog it’s a statement

Self-pity and attention seeking is for a friend not a public blog

Posting multiple blogs at once is rude

Assuming you are correct and everyone else is wrong is embarrassing yourself

Putting pictures of your children with names and date of birth is fecking stupid

Use the spell checker if possible

Don’t overuse the emoticons, its childish, grow up and use words

Don’t write more than a paragraph, people won’t read diatribe

Remember that some people do not understand English including English speakers

Blogs should be fun and or informative

Politics and religion should really be on the forums, you will get an appropriate audience there

SIR!
YES SIR!

you forgot shouting
..and conversations between 2 bloggers SIR !
Ob, Yes, 2 way conversations on a blog are ridiculous, message each other!
Hello Map
I fully agree. Could not have put it in better words than yours. I can see clearly now why there is a lull in blogs
Hi Fiery, Its just tumble weeds and despair here these days, More of us are going to leave at this rate.
yeah I think its Christmas most are just getting sorted maybe since they changed about .is not as friendly to use as was also her weather fairly mild everyones out and about will come back I thinks
I used to be CSs biggest fan. I loved the place. Now, I am 'meh '

Most of the fun people are gone. They check in occasionally but see more threads of the same politics /hate/religion (are they actually the same thing dunno ) where opposing views are not accepted , and even weirdly, are taken personally.

I don't know, unless it is fixed soon, I think it's doomed



Happy Birthday CH. ..Hope you are getting loads of it devil
Oh and I forgot to mention the mindless ,opionless souls who just drop in and wave
This is actually quite good Map. Thanks for sharing your opinion.. being new here I find this quite useful. thumbs up
Hi biff wave
Hi Dan wave
Hi jack

I don't mind blogs where there is a 2-way conversation going on

Unless they are just nitpicking at each other for the sake of it. They bore me.

I know that is some people's style, but just not mine.

I like flirting, bantering, having fun, and yes debating.

But you can't debate with a closed mind,
Oh yeah, and people who get others banned just because they don't like them


Grow up roll eyes
Maybe your blog is a good example as to why some have lost interest in blogging.
Itchy, maybe it has, but no single blogger has been named on this one, perhaps another example of no blog will please everyone, but like you I am entitled to my opinion.
wave Witch!

Blogs about blogging are like chewing gum. I usually avoid them.
This one might have potential.
Maybe it'll go Kafkaesque! grin


Nahhh...That'd be too much to hope for. sigh moping

Hmmm...I do admit sometimes that I took things the wrong way... but that was when I actually and genuinely cared.. the games have destroyed me...and I won't be good until I find Pitacrying
Speaking as a UK citizen, we didn't vote for Brexit to have some "European" setting yet more rules & red tape rolling on the floor laughing

For me the rule for blogging is simple, if I write something others find interesting & want to comment on the blog will be "successful"banana, not sure how you measure that mind, if I don't then it will fall by the wayside blues

Further, if I want to say to say high to someone I will professor and I'll use smilies to do it tongue

Hi OB wave laugh rolling on the floor laughing laugh
Hi Z flirty

OP,I understand if you delete this one.... bug I couldn't help it...



During his campaign he visited Scotland....

Seri, that could be nearly anyone in Scotland, unfortunately. Long before the presidential gleam lit in his eye he started negotiations to set up a golf course here, fair to say he has trodden on the occasional delicate flower in the process.

No, not me in that pic rolling on the floor laughing
Z wow blushing out of respect to the OP shall we continue this conversation privately? heart wings

laugh
Biff, no laugh rolling on the floor laughing laugh
Strategically waiting to post a comment....so it will be at the top of page 2.

Mic, falling asleep on a sunbed is not a good idea. Mayday! Mayday!

Oh, and I know where Mayday comes from professor

Challenge to see if anyone else does? Answers on a postcard comment please
Biff, is it an abbreviation of " This MAY be my last DAY on earth" dunno
To the honourable Gentleman Z, While we the people respect your post Brexit opinion the quango that sat and dictated these rules while quaffing quails eggs and cognac consisted of unelected and unqualified pseudo bloggers your rights as a blogger have not been affected in anyway, please remember to add an appropriate emoticon at the end of each comment and we will consider your words.

Mic, Teddy bears? Im not sure I see why a teddy bear is a substitute for a good old fashioned flirty comment.

Seri, Your propaganda is noted, you have the freedom to express yourself in anyway you like.
Z...devil very mad

It is not, but as it happens my other message to you in this long private public conversation holds a clue professor
If i said what i really think I would never get out of jail so insread will post a pic..

Biffy, your 4th and 5th flirtatious comments have been noted, being a red hot babe with fabulous hair I'm sure
that your mailbox is stuffed with offers of marriage.

Serious question Z, where have you been?
Map, I haven't been anywhere confused merely following EU Directive 9765/b/Z567C which states " If you have something to contribute to a blog comment, if not don't" professor rolling on the floor laughing
Just a thought...

I think we have a few drink and comment or drink and blog bloggers, perhaps some with class A, B or C drug use, any ideas?
Blue, darlin', if that was at me I have but one thing to say - swivel on it.

And I say it in the spirit of uncritical friendly banter, my new motto on CS grin
drink pouringdrinking.......blah blah

Does it happen?

Oh HELL yeah! rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

Oh Map if you are determined to continue in negative spirit I will have to go. Catch you on your next blog, when you are back in fun mode
