I guess you're probably expecting me to have something interesting to say, aren't you. That's why you're reading this, right? Heck, every man and his dog can write a blog nowadays. So the challenge then comes in the form of a question: how does one make an engaging blog?
It's not enough to just tell people what you are doing and expect them to sing your praises from the rooftops, like some flamboyant choir boy. There needs to be a theme; something that will attract a target audience. It's pointless trying to appeal to everyone because hey, let's face it, most people searching the web have seen it all before. Back when the internet was still a youngling you could get away with being a little plain, it wouldn't matter. But now, search engines are becoming more proficient at filtering the irrelevant or uninteresting. And those people who are plugged in by the backs of their heads, with the attention span to rival a goldfish, need immediate gratification. So, for those interested, my blogs will be comprised of my ideas on video games, movies, the internet, media and society as a whole. It is my hope that some of you may continue to read future blogs of mine, for what is an artist without an audience.
Stay tuned. More content soon.
And there you have it, you managed to get me to read past the first two lines. (comment 1 done)
