Blogs and the future

I feel like writing an insightful article. Of course my downfall there is that I would be required to have insight for that to work. Still, I’m infused about blogs at the moment. Not that I’m just getting into it, I’ve been blogging for years but I’m seeing a whole new potential to them recently.

The amount of traffic generated by the major celebrity news blogs is amazing and indeed the amount of traffic my little blogs have picked up in a month is also pretty impressive. The whole blogging movement has set something up that’s designed for success. Update pings, trackbacks, regular updates, it’s created a crazy system where any crazy person can not only start a website but even have people read it.

Given that it’s such a strong system I’ve tried to capitalise on that with the Blog Steak network and trying to get xmeltrut.com sites to fire off update pings like blogs and continuing the theme of blogs can go far I’ve also set up Britney Blog. It’s a simple news blog but of course far more specifically targeted than say Music Steak which while a wide audience works better for a blog than a regular site is still very hard ground to break.

I also came across the themes section of WordPress.net which is brilliant. It has thumbnails and a working demo of each theme and there are like hundreds in there so it’s well worth checking out if you’re using WordPress.
