Jimmy Patterson posted his reaction to an article by Christianity Today’s Ted Olsen called The Death of Blogs. You need to read to the end of the article. Olsen doesn’t really think that blogs are dead because, you know, that would require huge tracts of silliness.
In his piece, Olsen quotes Michael Parsons of cnet, who apparently thinks there is some sort of blogging work ethic.
“Good bloggers work like dogs. You can’t expect readers to show up unless you show up. And the Internet never closes. … Every successful blogger I’ve come across is the same. Eat, sleep, and drink the work. No time out; no holidays.” [link came with the quote]
Work?
Success?
Good?
Perish the thought. The day blogging becomes work is the day of the death of this blog. Until then I’m content to let God be the only good one and let the A-listers rack up hits instead of me.
I’m just interested in writing stuff down.
