Blog content

Ok folks, I've had a blog for a while now but it has never been what one would subscribe as successful. I'm not really certain why that is unless it is merely that no one is truly interested in what I have to say or post there. I'm curious as to what people wish to see in a blog? Please share your insight on what type(s) of content you are interested in reading in a blog and what features you like seeing on a blog. This should be helpful not only to myself but to others here as well.

I have not read your blog but If it true that you are (A Really Great Guy) chances are that your having a pretty good life with not many problems. People are probably interested in trouble makers, misery, stardom & being rich, the stuff that most nice guys don’t come across. Maybe start reading the most popular blog & see what they have to say. You should be able to get some ideas from there blogs. You seem to have no problem here.

 

Try putting it in the websites forum. Personally I don't go to blogs much, I'm glad they exist, but it's not my thing.

I looked at your profile, didn't see it listed, although I could have missed it.

 

Bill my blog is listed in my sig below. Unfortunately the sig file does not allow a live url link so the bbcode does not work in it. I miss the many lines of sig we used to be allowed here.

Robert Heilein is one of my favorite writers, still. If he were still alive I suspect he would still be cranking out good books, although his later stuff was getting pretty mystical.

Starman Jones was a hoot, his description of computers was something like Eniac. He missed that one entirely. I also liked Star Beast, which was a lot closer to what I consider possible. Have Space Suit Will Travel is also a good read. His early stuff was a lot shorter than his later stuff.

Remember The Moon is a Harsh Mistress? I think that could be made into a decent movie today, it holds up pretty well to the test of time.

Movies that were based off his books:

Starship Troopers
Puppet Masters

The 1st one was technically accurate, but missed some of the flavor, while the second was much closer in spirit to the books. Note, there are several movies with the same name, his was scifi, not the fantisy about small living puppets. I tried talking to a guy at Blockbuster who didn't get it one time.
