tl;dr

I didn't bother reading your blog. :)

Is that dinosaur looking at me?

" I didn't bother reading your blog. :) "

TLD...*OMFG IS THAT A LADYBU...fuck it im off to play fallo...uuuu a piece of candy. *

What's a tl;dr? I mean, I know how people use the phrase, but I don't understand what implementation you're talking about.

I read the paragraphs in reverse order.

Just kidding.  "

I'll never give in to using a tl;dr! neevverrrrrrrrrrrr

I'm assuming that your blog was advice on how to write better, more interesting blogs that keep people engaged, but I just stared the dinosaur for about a minute before my attention span expired and I felt completely satisfied. So here's some advice for you instead. Never start a show with a show stopper.

Best of luck! :D

I don't even know what tl;dr means. I've seen it a lot lately but I'm completely clueless as to what it actually means.

Also, that picture of the dinosaur is pretty sick.

Sick dinosaur picture.

I'm pretty sure that dinosaur is looking at me. I'm going to bed.

That's a sweet dinosaur.

Please. His blog is called "Cloudy With A Chance of Gaming". Of course he gets tons of profound insight on everything he writes. "

You're damn strait!  =P

And if you want to write a blog, just do it about anything gaming related. Get a new game? Have an opinion on it? Write a blog! Of course then there's the non-gaming related blogs. Always an option, but for the love of god don't write one about "a girl that you met the other day" and then post it to the forums.

" @Underachiever007: I've no idea who he is or what his blog tendencies are. I just find it odd to suggest that one should go out of their way to appeal to lazy idiots. Those who can't be arsed to read a ten line paragraph are rarely worth hearing from. "

I don't think you quite get the point of why many people write blogs -- it's because the writing, itself, is enjoyable. Having people read it and provide input is icing on the cake. Sure, we'd all love to have a bajillion followers who all read our massive walls of text, but that ain't gonna happen on a place like GB, though we do have a great group of people who do take the time to read things especially once you establish a bit of a rapport with them.  I'm happy when I get one insightful reply to a blog that makes me look at my topic from a new perspective or provides a good counter-point. More often than not, I receive more than one such reply and that makes my day. Even the replies from trolls or people who clearly didn't RTFA are enjoyable, too.

My own bit of advice -- if you're going to make the whole "people like pictures so use a bunch!" argument (an argument I certainly won't contest, as I throw on as many images into my own blogs as I can, knowing people like to look at the purty pictures) at least make them uniform in size or something. Your post was just godawful to read through and it's hard not to take you as a troll when it's such a chaotic mess even though your message seems genuine enough.

Do tons of people read my blog? The hell would I know.
All I know, is that most of the time I have people replying to me, and we have conversation about what I have just written. Unless everyone online here is a figment of my imagination, which is a concept I have not ruled out yet, I'm interpreting what transpires as...Someone reading my stuff and wanting to talk or comment about what I just wrote about...

If I had some magic barometer that was able to figure out the percentage of people who read my blogs, I don't really know if I would use it.
Sometimes, I don't even post my blogs onto the forums, yet I still have people commenting on them. Are there tons of people who comment on those, in comparison to those I advertise? Of Course not....That's not the point though.
I enjoy writing, even if I didn't have an "audience", I would probably be doing the same thing in my free-time...Except it would be creepy and be in a word-pad document on my desktop.
I also really enjoy reading other people's writings. Giantbomb has some of the best community blogs about gaming anywhere.

Wait, if your going to use a summary sentence so people don't have to read the body of the text... why not just write a couple summary sentences instead? And if you can't manage to read a handful of paragraphs then you have real problems, it's not like a blog post is a fucking thesis or something.

Yo, that dino picture is fucking sweet.

I got like 2 paragraphs in and remembered that all my blog posts are a billion times more readable than this one.

" @JJWeatherman: I had the same view on TLDRs as you for a long time, for all the same reasons. I was kind of awoken by the fact that every time I saw a post somewhere that was really long, but had a TLDR at the bottom, I'd almost always go back up and read the full thing, even if it wasn't the most interesting thing in the world. TLDRs are also a nice means of giving the reader another shot at understanding what exactly the point of your post is, to both remind the reader and to clarify things."

" I dunno about you, but I read this shit the whole way through. "

Wait, so nobody's reading my blogs? That doesn't really agree with reality. Nor does this.

   I see your insult and raise you a statistic.

Fuckin'... jet planes and shit.

@Wrighteous86

Quite a bit, actually. That's why I posted that link to my Doki Doki Panic blog.  Besides, yea, on average, it's 20-30 posts. However, I have gotten far more comments on some of my other blogs. I seem to remember one blog getting near 300 comments on it.

I never read blogs, I did read yours though, but as a courtesy for two reasons:

I would just like to say that I'm depressed that everyone assumed those pictures were supposed to be in any way relevant to what I was writing about. They are ridiculous, annoying, over-the-top, and ugly. That is the point.

" Fuckin'... jet planes and shit. "

@Wrighteous86    Schtick? But I am King of the Moon. Besides, the only time I think that would be close to accurate would be in my Dead Moon blog.

@myself:

I love the Giant Bomb    

No one ever reads them. If they see anything greater than a paragraph, they don't read them. Now, I'm not saying they don't read anything. often. Try harder.

Kinda sad that people somewhere down the line lost the ability to read.
