Different Types of Blogs

This service has made it possible for many types of people to get "published", a way to get ideas out that is different from anything else. There are several main categories of blogs in my mind.
Complaining Blogs. This is one of the most popular kinds. It is exactly what it sounds like. On complaining blogs, you can hear people gripe about Apple, Crocs, Justin Bieber, and life in general. If you are funny, you might be able to get a fast following, but be careful, or you might just be seen as a whiner.

Photo Blogs: Photo blogs are a popular Blog Of Note choice. They aren't my favorite, though.  If you run with this type of blog, be sure to take pictures of something original, not just pictures of your pet dog. If the pictures aren't funny or beautiful, no one has any reason to look at them.

Inspirational: Some of my posts here are in this category. If you have something meaningful to say, you might get a bunch of followers who respect your view of life. Your posts might be quite long, but luckily, no one expects you to post every day.

Comic: There are very few of these on the blogosphere, because they take a lot of time and talent. The ones you can find, however, are like finding a gold mine.  These would be my favorite, but they take a long time to update because posts can take many hours to do.

Adventure: These blogs are fast paced, fun to read, but can be short lived if just about one trip. Blogs about interesting jobs go here too.

Journal: These are great ways to stay in touch with family+friends. These are a lot less commercial than above, and don't expect a large following, but these blogs can take the place of journals and help you improve yourself! My personal favorite.

What category does mine fit in? Well, my three main kinds of posts are a.) inspirational b.) about Star Wars or c.) about writing. Hmm. Let's just say my blog won't be picked for Blogs Of Note anytime soon.
What kind of blog do you write?

ps. That picture is of my brother at the USS Midway in San Diego. Why did I include it? It just felt like a good picture.

three amazing--and relatively little known--psalms

So I'm reading Psalms in the Bible right now. Well, Psalms is one of the three places I read from. I'm reading the Bible all the way through and read two chapters from three places--the Old Testament, the middle of the Old Testament, and the New Testament--every day. I'm in Deuteronomy and Romans in the other sections, but in the middle I'm still right where I started from-Psalms. Cause Psalms is really really long. I was getting kind of tired of Psalms(which isn't really the right attitude to be reading the Bible in). But I realized there are some really breathtaking passages in Psalms, and I'm glad I read them. These are my three favorites: *Buck Forester on Flikr Psalm 65 This one is about God's spectacular creation. What mighty praise, O God,      belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, 2       for you answer our prayers.      All of us must come to you. 3  Though we are overwhel...

Howl's Moving Castle book analysis

“I feel ill. I'm going to bed, where I may die.” ― Howl, upon having a cold. I've decided to call them "book analysis" because they're not really reviews that tell you how much I liked the book, rather,  me taking the book apart and looking at different aspects of it for my own entertainment. Read on. Also, read Howl's Moving Castle. This is the original cover of Howl's Moving Castle and I have got to say it is the UGLIEST thing I have ever seen. I like the new one much better. Ahem. First of all, I should point out that Howl's Moving Castle is a children's book. However, I like to hold all books I read to the same standard, after all, they're written by adults. I had biased expectations of Howl's Moving Castle from the start, because I kept hearing from several sources how amazing, how fantastic, how hilarious and how romantic the book was, and hearing the perfectly gorgeous soundtrack by Joe Hizazi(somethin...

Her Universe

  Before I start, let me just say this. I appreciate what Ashley Eckstein is doing. It's obvious she really cares about and is enthusiastic about her line, and she's using her position to make our days(and wardrobes, apparently) a little more cheerful. However, I don't think Her Universe is the huge movement she expects it to be. The website   talks about how female SW fans have a hard time finding merchandise designed "just for us" and the trials of having to wear either "very girly stuff" or "men's stuff in small sizes."   This post from Club Jade clearly favors and is enthusiastic of Her Universe. Vivenne's comment,(the 6th) says everything more eloquently than I ever could. "However, it’s NOT our turn. We’re NOT getting what they’ve got. I STILL don’t wear Star Wars franchise stuff because there is no way I can afford Her Universe. $30 for a TEE SHIRT? No. No no no. I’ll keep buying the $9.99 shirts for g...
