i have had disgustingly many blogs.

you name it: xanga, uber, vox, blogger, livejournal... i have made at least one blog on each of these websites but xanga is the one that i was persistent with. i eventually grew out of my xanga and stopped.

i've been meaning to start blogging again for a long time, but i never got around to it. i needed an extra push, an inspiration. and i got that inspiration today.

i was at community college journalism day at usc, which is known for their annenberg schoool for communication & journalism, and i took a 1-hr session on blog writing and how to get your blog read. the guest speakers were the blog editor for la times, tony pierce and brad friedman from bradblog.com. they were kind of amazing. tony's personal blog is in technorati's top 300 blogs, which led him to work for LAist, etc. brad friedman is an expert at political reporting, more specially election stuff.

two things that stood out to me from the session was
1. write about stuff you want to write about, something that you're passionate about.
2. have multiple writers on your blog. offer different views, get more hits.

the only thing is...
1. quiet sadly, i don't know what i want to write about
2. besides carmichael, i don't know who else wants to blog

haha.
i'll figure it out...
