    Re: Where's Your Blog?

    Thanks to everyone for the explanations. I think I pretty much understood it already, but it's nice to hear it from actual bloggers.

    One other question. Is there any specific expectation for how often entries are made?

    No, write something when you have something to say...
    If you choose to do one here, the only real "rule" as it were, is keep it photography based.
    But it's not a hard fast rule.

    Re: Where's Your Blog?

    Blogs can be anything you want - in content, ettiquette (language choice, etc), frequency of posts, etc. They're really not a whole lot different than forums in that respect. Actually a lot of threads in Viewfinder are a lot like blogs - like a story and some pictures of a recent vacation or some other event in your life that you want to share.

    I have a blog on our band's myspace page but it's really just about up and coming shows. Not very interesting or personal. I've thought about doing one here to replace thoughts of doing a "topic of the month" sort of post in Help. The big stumbling block at this point (well, other than time) is coming up with a hip & trendy name for the blog... Am I lame or what?

    Come on Steve!
    You can come up with a good name!
    How about "Another View's View on Photography"!
    Make sure you post a McMurtry photograph in it!

    That's about as good as anything I could come up with - so I'll hold out for other ideas! Keep 'em comin!

    I thought Mike Johnston's The 37th Frame was a good one, but it doesn't really apply to me at least anymore...

    Hmmm, mine would have been The 36th Frame, cause when I shot film, I only shot 35 frames to a roll, so I could cut them into 7 strips of 5... :idea:

    BTW, Steve, my idea for your blog name would be Another View's New Zoo Review. :thumbsup:

    And if you remember that show, you're a lot older than I thought...

    Paul, take a look at my blog (link in my signature below). Six months ago, I absolutely abhored blogs and all the useless drivel folks wrote on them. But when John approached us with this idea, I gave it some serious thought and I swear a lightbulb went off in my head... :idea:

    When used the right way (and by that I mean keeping entries short and interesting), it's a great tool for letting people keep up with things you're involved with.

    I think so far my entries have a pretty good pacing to them. For the most part, I'm trying to stay photo-oriented, the rest of the time throwing out little odds and ends that others may find funny or interesting...
