Most of the blogs I’m reading are taking themselves WAY too seriously. So much I think they have a “serious” problem. Seriously.

Everybody and their sister is making lists as their blog posts, when did this become something people enjoyed reading, a list?

People are making blogging schedules and running their blogs like they are in the military.

Most blogs are starting to look like howto reference manuals and nothing with any personality.

Bunches of the bloggers think their blogs really matter to the larger world outside of the small niche they are in. They don’t.

You are depressing me

Most people are taking their blogs WAY too seriously. I used to enjoy reading the moneylinks every day. Not so much anymore.

Now they are becoming Predictable, full of Contests (YUCK!!!!), boring, list oriented, totally lacking personality, and that’s depressing.

The blogs, in general, used to have a bunch more personality. People used to chronicle their “story” or share themselves more.

Now they seem to be following the same formula, and they are pretty serious about it.

Quit Taking Your Blog So Damn Serious

Dude, you have like 1500 subscribers, give me a break. 99% of them wouldn’t recognize you on the street if they bumped into you. You aren’t a rockstar or brad pitt or garth brooks.

Do some video, smile, take a funny picture, blog about something you ENJOY tomorrow.

Do something different, let go.
