No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Why don’t more blogs succeed?

John Hawkins has the top 10 reasons. I’ll ignore the fact that I don’t do this for a living (or even any compensation whatsoever; no ads here) and see which ones I definitely fail on a routine basis (do note I’m not talking about Shoebox or the guest-bloggers):

1) They’re just not very good. Damn if John didn’t nail me. Most days, I’ll be the first one to tell you I suck.

2) They don’t cover interesting material. That speaks to the fact that I’m a boring person.

5) They don’t promote their work. That’s a big-ass failing of mine. I almost never send out promotional e-mails, prefering to let the trackbacks do the talking. I just don’t have that huge an ego.

6) They’re not consistent enough. They take days off. Oh, you mean like the break I took between the 28th and the 4th? Somehow, I got Shoebox as a co-blogger to take the pressure off.

I fail most of the rest of them as well. Oh well; it’s a good thing I don’t have a huge ego.
