A blog about blogs

The blogging world is extensive. Some may consider it over populated for the reason that blogs about almost everything and aything exist. I learned this the hard way, a summer internship, in which one of my many assignments was to compile "Blog Lists." With so many blogs out there, i.e the "over population", it was an overwhelming task at first. However, with blog data bases such as http://theblogfrog.com/ and the blog section on Google, my assignment became easier and increasingly interesting as I surfed through the various blogs to find a match.

While searching through the wide variety of Blogging topics, from Daddy blogs, to Book blogs, to Pet blogs, I found that there is not a specific blog that should be universally known. Who are we to tell someone what blogs to keep up with? The power is in the hands of the reader. At first,  I was in awe that people took the time out of their day to sign onto a blogging program and pretend to be their pet but soon discovered this type of blog was as popular as say, fashion blogs, an interest of mine. Personally, I enjoy any blog that shows personality. Regardless of how ridiculous I find the content, a sort of light bulb lights up when I discover and unfold the bloggers personality through their posts.

Different blogs call for different organization. I found that many blogs include soley writing, writing and photo's, and even just photo's. The blogs containing photo's spark the most interest for me. Just as it is nice to put a face with a name, it is also beneficial to put a photo with a topic, for the simple reason that it keeps the readers attention. Let's be honest, it is easy to get distracted when reading.
