The Future of Pundit Blogging

Joe Carter, of The Evangelical Outpost plays Nostradamus (or at least Miss Cleo) and attempts to describe what post-election blogging might be like.

"Without the election and with people losing interest in reading about the minutia of the war on terrorism, many of these blogs will likely lose a significant portion of their audience."

I try to limit the amount of political content on this blog, but it’s hard to avoid it completely. I was blogging long before this election season and I hope to be blogging long after. If I lose some audience, c’est la vie.

Blogging 101

Simon World has a great post on the basics of blogging. If you’re looking for a text book treatment, look somewhere else. If you want boot camp, this might be more your style. Jollyblogger sums it up well:

"[H]e’s got a lot of good tips and it is worth your while to read this thing and follow his advice. Well, follow his advice, but I think it goes without saying that those of us in the Blogdom of God don’t want to be following his advice to talk about our sex lives or use porn to attract visitors."

If you’ve been thinking about blogging, but want to know what you’re getting into first, give "Everything you wanted to know about blogging but were afraid to ask" a read. You’ll either want to start a blog ASAP or be scarred for life.

To all my readers who live in Allegheny County:

The Department for Economic Development in Allegheny County has a survey on their website. Please take it. It’s short and will let the county authorities know how you want your tax dollars spent.

On a related note, here are some Pittsburgh blogs. It’s not a comprehensive list by any means.
