July 02, 2004becoming popularWhat makes people want to read a certain blog while they ignore others? I've asked myself that question numerous times and I still don't have an answer. I receive more visitors in one hour than many blogs get in a week and I don't understand why. Some of those people with no audience write better than I do. Here is my theory: *I blog a lot. I usually put several new things up every day. Yeah, freshness counts. *I beard the lion. I don't fear controversy and I believe that I can back up what I have to say with facts. I don't care who I piss off. If you can't take a joke, fuck you. *No other blog out there is like mine. I've never tried to copy anyone or pretend to be somebody I'm not. Yeah, individuality counts, too. *I do it because I like doing it. That fact shows, too. *I am a Blog-Pappy, many times over. My children are loyal to their daddy and I try to treat them well. *I don't write about politics all the time. I don't post only snippets of the news. I write about what's on my mind RIGHT NOW. If I were a Jepoardy category, I would be "odds and ends." (or po-por-eee, if I knew how to spell that word.) *I am literate and I write with style. Yeah, I'm proud of that fact. *I've been doing it for a long time without burning out or quitting. This blog is a journal, and I've kept it up for almost three years now. Sam Clemens once said that everybody starts a journal at some time in their lives, but very few keep it up for more than a month. I've done better than that. *I keep 'em guessing. Admit it. You never know WHAT you're going to see when you visit Gut Rumbles. If I wanted to be consistant, I... well, I don't know what I would do. Consistancy ain't my forte. *You know it's ME here. A blog with no personality is no blog at all. Why do you think I get all those red toenail pictures via email? Wimmen KNOW I like 'em and they send them to me. They remain anonomyous but I have their feet on file. Bejus, but I love that! *I'm just a wonderful person. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I read you because sometimes we think alike, sometimes we don't and besides I know you will always have something interesting to say.. Posted by: James Old Guy on July 2, 2004 12:59 PMyou were referred by a friend that I trust and have been satisfied over and over again. I guess the pics I sent were of the wrong end!! Posted by: Chelle on July 2, 2004 01:24 PMYour blog name ' Gut Rumbles' is what got my attention. Then your style of writing is easy to read. Then you have many different topics. Then you speak what's on your mind. Your funny shit can be freakin hilarious. Your serious stuff, I usually agree with. Keep up the good work. Enjoy your vaca in PR. Posted by: jimboy on July 2, 2004 01:30 PMFor me, it really is the frequency that you post. I have a whole list of blogs that I'd love to read everyday because of the quality of the writing. But they don't have anything new on them for weeks [sometimes months] at a time. You have new posts every single day, and that makes it easy to get to know you. Also, your common sense shines real loud. Posted by: Rick on July 2, 2004 02:22 PMI, too, check your site often because you frequently post. Your sense of humor is about the same as mine and most of the things you say I can relate to. Plus, I just started blogging a few months ago and didn't know any better at the time!! *L* Posted by: Michele on July 2, 2004 02:28 PMA-FUCKING-MEN If you write a book on blogging, I think Rebecca Blood should be forced to eat it. Posted by: Laurence Simon on July 2, 2004 02:54 PMCareful you don't crush a vertebra pattin' yourself on the back, Acidman! Actually, you write some funny shit & know how to spell. That's good enough.... Posted by: Hap Arnold on July 2, 2004 03:19 PM"I write about what's on my mind RIGHT NOW." "I am literate and I write with style." "You know it's ME here". For the above three reasons, you da man. Posted by: Deliverance on July 2, 2004 03:22 PMI read certain blogs regularly not because they are well written or post frequently, but because I think the writer is crazy. It's the rubbernecking effect. Additionally, I like those blogs because the commenters are also crazy. Though I'll assume that a few of my readers think I'm crazy, too. "I beard the lion. I don't fear controversy and I believe that I can back up what I have to say with facts. I don't care who I piss off. If you can't take a joke, fuck you." "You know it's ME here. A blog with no personality is no blog at all." Both, in equal parts, blended - is what keeps me reading. Posted by: Deb on July 2, 2004 04:02 PMC'mon Rob. Really. It's your love of kittens that keeps your audience enraptured of you. {/snark, off} Jim I read your blog because you are opinionated and don't seem to have the common sense to regulate the intensity of your feelings. You are hurt, self absorbed, reliable, reactionary and have just enough intelligence to believe you are always right. It makes for interesting reading... Posted by: Jerry on July 2, 2004 07:14 PMI read because of your shiney white smile! Posted by: wes jackson on July 3, 2004 01:47 AM*I am literate and I write with style. Yeah, I'm proud of that fact. That's why I read. I don't always agree with what you are writing and if it pisses me off, I skip it and go to the next one. Plus, you make me think. I like that in a man. It is very rare. Posted by: drc on July 3, 2004 11:39 AMYOU ARE SO F'ED UP, I LOVE TO READ WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO HIDE FROM REALITY NEXT, OR HOW YOU'RE KIDDING YOURSELF TODAY.
