Blogs- How many TB's have them?

edited November 2010 in - Resources
I couldn't decide where to place this thread. I think this is the correct spot but If I'm wrong tell me so I can edit it please.

I just wanted to check that I'm following every TB's blog. How many of us have them? I only ask because during break and lunchtime I spend my time blog reading. I'll love to be able to read more writing blogs and see if I can improve mine.

    How do you expect me to blog? It took me 10 years to get onto the web!

    Here's my blog. http://stforceswrittingblog.blogspot.com/

    I'm now following all the blogs on this thread, or at least those that allow followers. May I ask how did you get so many? One of you lucky people have over fifty followers!
  • Phots MollPhots Moll
    D'you mean me? I've been blogging for a while, so I've sort of collected followers over time.
  • Jenthom72Jenthom72
    Wow, how do you managed to keep all those blogs going Baggy Books? I find it difficult enough doing two.

    BB no wonder my internet is slow now, you've taken the whole web.

    I have one but it's not really maintained much. I post a piece now and again and update what I'm up to now and again. I only set it up as a reminder to myself really. But seeing how well so many people on here keep theirs and the others I follow I feel a bit ashamed. I may re-jig and maintain from this week.
  • LilyCLilyC
    Mine are:

    http://lilychildsfeardom.blogspot.com - horror and mystery fiction
    http://micheleranger.blogspot.com - mainstream fiction, poetry, reviews and articles. This one's a bit neglected at the mo.

    [quote=st force]May I ask how did you get so many (followers)?[/quote]

    It's a case of perseverance and publicity StF. Follow others' blogs and they may well reciprocate. Tweet from or about your blog to reach a wider audience. Blog about everything you've written, and blog at least once a week (ignoring my neglected site above!)

    When blogging/tweeting about your work make your tone of voice friendly and inviting, not boastful (not that I think you would - it's just a web fact).

    Allow followers to comment, and also have the option to subscribe to your comments as well as the overall blog (widget as well as RSS).

    Hope this helps.

    I haven't updated recently, but I've got something planned for tomorrow on the subject of six-word stories.

    Most of the posts revolve around silly poems that take five seconds to write, but I do occasionally write something lucid!

    I like your blog name, Jamie!

    Blogs aren't just used by writers - they're an excellent medium to communicate anything over the internet.

    Apart from the breast cancer blog, I don't take any of them seriously.

    Some of the blogs by TBers that I've dipped into include long articles and a lot of work obviously goes into them. If I spent that length of time writing an article I'd want to be paid for it.
  • CarolCarol
    Mutley, I regularly read Alfie's blog. :)

    Actually I would love to have some more 'Followers' if those of you with Blogger blogs feel like joining up...?
  • MutleyMutley
    Thank you, Carol. I'll tell him :)
  • NefertariNefertari
    Hola PBwriter! He visto your blog

    Here's mine, but it's more of a 'what I'm up to' than advice for others!!

    PS - What I do like from other people's blogs is seeing what they look like!
  • NefertariNefertari
    I agree Viv about Strictly and Corrie then there's The Apprentice and X factor...

    Here's mine but why you'd be bothered going is beyond me. I'm not even being self deprecation either.

    Just the one blog for now, related to my writing.
  • St ForceSt Force
    I've become a follower on all the of the listed blogs that allow it. They all look really good! I'm surprised how many pet blogs there are. I wonder how long till Stan reads this.
    I've done most of what you’ve said Lily. I've a deadline of once a week each week. All comments are allowed on any of my posts. I think what I'm lacking is publicity. I will never leave TB but I think I need to widen my writing horizon. Are there any other websites, like TB, that someone would like to recommend?
  • LilyCLilyC
    Best of luck StF. :)

    Not exactly the same but a similar principle.

    http://www.writingforums.com/fiction/

    http://www.mywriterscircle.com/

    http://absolutewrite.com/forums/

    Another great site with discussion threads but also with a peer-to-peer review and critique format that deals with everything form Novels, to screenplays and everything in between is:

    http://www.triggerstreet.com/gyrobase/index

    There are thousands of writing forums out there if you Google them. Whether they are for you is a matter of taking a look at what's on offer.

    Hope some of this is what you were asking for.

    I think to subscribe to mine you have to create a reader account - which seems a bit of a pain really.

    Thanks Tony, those links were helpful. I'm just waiting for an admin to activate my account then I'm good to go. Of course we have the best admin. :-)

    I've given my Blog a new look for those who are interested and I've had a reply from Spook city, so my day's been great!
  • SilentTonySilentTony
    Excellent glad to help. You getting a story up on Spook City then?
  • St ForceSt Force
    Looks like it. I sent the story off and they sent an email back with corrections and lots of positive feedback. I replied after editing the story, so I think so. :-)
  • SilentTonySilentTony
    Brilliant. I look forward to reading it.
  • St ForceSt Force
    Thank you!
  • LizGLizG
    I have a blog but certainly wouldn't dare to list the address here amongst all you clever people - I know, why bother to have one then? Perhaps when I have gained more confidence and acquired a proper 'writing style'.
  • Lou TreleavenLou Treleaven
    Go on, LizG! You will gain more confidence when you have more visitors!

    Nice of you to say that, Liz, but we all started from scratch and the best way to learn is to get connected. Don't be shy - everyone here is very supportive.
