What do You Think The Newspaper Blog is About?

August 19th, 2007 | Blogging

“I didn’t think I’d be able to swim as fast as what I have this meet.” - Ian Thorpe, when he achieved 4 world records in 4 days.

How much times have you heard directors say they didn’t expect the movie to a blockbuster, actors say they thought their acting was terrible, bloggers say their writing is crap, etc. even thought the movie was a mega hit, the acting was top notch and we read the blog for their writing.

Do you know that The Shawshank Redemption was not a big hit in the cinemas but it became one of the highest grossing video rentals of all time?

Similarly, you might see this blog in a different way than I do. I might write on various topics but you will remember this blog with a subject that connects you which later becomes the real theme of my work.

Normally I never take part in Blog meme as I feel they almost never provide any real value to our readers and I don’t want to do something just because others are doing it. Chris came up with a wonderful meme What is Your Blog About Really?, which is a great idea to improve this blog.

What do you think?
So tell me by commenting what you think this blog is about?

Thank you!

I feel , since its your personal blog , its like your own playground. You are free to post anything which you feel is worth sharing , whether its movie reviews , blogging tips , unblocking tips etc etc.
Moreover the title says newspaper blog , so its very obvious that similar to a newspaper , your blog is not limited to a particular topic. And moreover, your writing style is much more like a true editor

hey ashwin , this is what we think is “The Newspaper Blog” which is more or less true. But we would like the editor in Chief to give his feelings also about the blog he owns ..

The Newspaper blog which provides you with torrent tips and tricks from the Master! It also contains brilliant open-minded honest and personal film and song reviews, Arabian experiences and adventures, tips and tricks of a professional employee, and few rants here and there of some absurd topics!

And hey you forgot to copy the second point from the Chris blog meme!!! passing the tag……

ooops !! sorry for that , I know i am a bad communicator :(. Just wanted you to put a small section conveying what according to you is the theme of your blog. To be more precise what made you start this blog, your thoughts about your blog before starting !! I am asking this coz there is no “about” section in your blog !!

few rants here and there of some absurd topics!

What do you mean by ‘absurd’ topics? Can I know them so that I’ll avoid them (or blog abt it at the expense of not satisfying a regular ‘cult’ reader).

Regarding the tagging part, everyone should do this. If you’re in business, then you should ask your customers, if you’re in a relationship, you should ask your partner, if you’re a student, you should ask your teacher. And if you’re a blogger, you should ask me.

The thing was I was a amateur blogger (still am) and there’s so much for me to improve upon. I started of casually and got into this and going strong for over 21 months. Regarding the theme, I’m blogging my passion which atleast 2 readers have hit the nail.

By the way, About page is coming soon. Very soon.
