Types of bloggers

This is not aimed at anyone specific, I am just talking about blogs in general. Just for fun

This is all the types of bloggers I can think of. There might be more, if you can think of more types of bloggers please add them in the comments.

I guess I can fit myself in each of these categories sometimes

The personal personal blogger

This is the type of blogger that always talks about themselves and gets 100’s of comments where they continue to write either about them self or each other. This is the type of blog where you even get uncomfortable browsing by, almost as if you are interupting a intemit conversation. When you comment you look like a beggar trying to take their food.

The hope for the best faker

This is one of those make money blogs but they always use blogspot because they cant afford a domain. This type of blogger brags about how much money he would like to make in the hopes that you read it and click on his ads. This type is also the type of blogger that will give you 100s of ways to brand your blog but does not even have a logo yet.

The over excited gladiator

This one wants to take over the internet. If you are not careful they will swallow your blog up and write 100 ways you can improve you footer. This type is on every social network talking about his site. Hoping that someone would find the same enthusiasm as he does in his own site.

The vain drain

This one tells you how much money he makes and how successful he is. Usually has 100’s of little worshipper bloggers as a croud in his comments. He never helps anyone else and always writes about himself. The one thing he never does is tell anyone how he does it. Also he is the type of guy that you wont see commenting on your blog because he is just to important to be part of someone else’s community. Exept for cash though. This type can be bought and you can never trust anything they say.

The smiling blogger

Never a dull moment, even when the site crashes, they will just install it and continue as if nothing happened. They have no goal they would like to achieve but they keep on blogging in hopes something great happens. Which it does, almost everyday. This is the type of blogger that will show you how to make $1 and trust me he wont be joking. Take him serious and you might just end up following 500 reasons why blogging is so nice even though you make no money.

The sugar free leech

This is the type that will blog as much as they dont have to do any work. They make lists and repeat the same point on no 1, 7, 8, 20 , 100 etc. They will make you excited about another blog post on a other blog and expect your comment on their blogs. This is not the hard workers, they dont drink coffee and are in bed by 8 after checking their splog status on Adsense.

The coffee canner

This type of blogger you will see their site updating 4am when you are about to switch your computer off. They blog constantly never taking a break. If you just mention something and hint for a idea they immediately blog about it, and before you know it you see it on all social bookmarking site’s frontpages. They dont care if anyone is reading they just cant stop because of all the coffee and caffeine they consume

The faxmachine

You blog about something, they blog about the same thing. You write 10 points they take 9 and start their own post. They never give credit to anyone else. You can ask them for a guest post but you’d better have a lawyer because you cant always guarantee that it’s not someone else’s content.

The ass crawler

This type is recognised by just looking at their blogrolls. They have John Chow, Problogger, shoemoney in their blog rolls and call them friends. They constantly link to big blogs in the hopes of some recognition and not getting any. Their best friends are the The hope for the best faker type and they would be there as well but its way easier trying to get the attention from people who have worked their way up already ( Not referring to John Chow.)

The friend

This is the type of blogger I like. They are friendly and they have real lives. Even if they sit in front of their computers all day like I do.

This type of blogger has common sense and always replys to your comments without always agreeing. The type of person you would really enjoy a conversation with in real life if they were not on the other side of the planet. The type of person you can have a roast with.

The friend types are actually real friends if you think about it. They might not be your “friend” friend by they are still friends. With this blogger you help each other’s blogs grow, you submit their posts to social networks as they do the same.

Who needs to explain friends?

Anyway
I was just having a bit of fun. Thinking about bloggers I have met and known. If I comment on your blog and you comment on my blog please dont get me wrong. I am not talking about you. I have blogging friends and I wont classify you as anything else as the friend type. I am just talking in general.

I hope you like this post, be sure to subscribe to the rss feed since I joined Feedburner today after a long time of not using it.

If you like this post blablablablabla you know what you want to do with it. If you dont, then dont. Thank you for reading.

Dont remove the footer

Filed under: Entertainment — Tags: , , — e @ 10:36 pm

The thing about free themes is that they cost us nothing. But just think of it from the guy that made the theme. He spend hours making a nice theme for bloggers. All he really wants is one small link back to his site. That is not a lot to ask considering he could of charged for the theme and you could of had a uglier theme. If you pay for the theme I guess its fine to remove the footer but if you have not payed for your theme why not consider keeping the link?

What does a professional blog need

This is about the first post on this blog ever. But dont be fooled because I have other blogs that actually make money. Every blogger that blogs about blogging has to start somewhere but what would be beter is if that blogger has been blogging and have a few successful ones. So here goes my list of much needed things you need for blogging.

Contact form

You need a contact form, I have had so many comments on my blogs about people trying to contact me. Having a contact form will make it much easier for your advertisers to get hold of you. As well as people asking questions.

About page

This is one thing blogged about constantly by most bloggers so I guess I dont have to give to much detail here since you might all know without a about page people will not know who you are. Sort of like this blog that does not have a contact page yet.

Footer

A Footer is not always needed but it makes your blog look complete. You can also ad your advertise links in your footer since many people who wants to find out about advertising immediately goes to your footer to find it.

Rss feed button

You must have a rss feed button. People are so lazy and most of the time they dont even know where to find the button.

Working comment section

If your comment section does not work your blog is basically none existant. That is what sets a blog apart from a normal website. The fact that people can leave comments and that its easily available and readable is one of the most important thing about your blog.

Thank you for reading, please leave some comments.
