0 draelas Posted July 26, 2003 Author Share Posted July 26, 2003 oh..girly thing.. thought i was some new net thing that caught on...damn i was getting excited that i could make websites with this cool new web word... guess 133T is still in eh? also getting old tho. oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Sick Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Wait, wait, what the hell? Blogging, sir, is definitely not "girly." I blog and I love it. There are personally blogs, which are pretty much like OPaul said. A journal for everyone to read, comment on, etc. Then there are some that are just strictly news. All they do is link articles that other people wrote on the net and sometimes give a short commentary on it. I'm not particularly fond of the latter kind, but it seems to be really popular, although a bit pointless. The personal kind are more popular along the personal website crowd. Some are really short and stupid, some are fairly well written. The news kind are a whole separate genre of website completely. 'Blog' sites are usually all the same, though. I haven't seen but a few that caught my interest for more than a couple minutes. And I should also probably add that plenty of people of BOTH genders have blogs. It's not just for girls.

0 gigapixels Veteran Posted July 26, 2003 Veteran Share Posted July 26, 2003 You can also use blogs and integrate them into your website. The first page of my site is a blog... It's so easy to type my news/journal that way instead of normal ways. So yeah, there are multiple uses for it. I love it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 [EvilBeAr] Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Dont mind opaul he's wrong about blogs... I have a blog myself at the site in my profile. Its the thing to do these days. Its just so cool to have all your friends around commenting and being able to write whatever you want about anything. Its really a great thing on the internet. They are in no way 'girly'. Idiots shouldn't jump to conclusions about them. I've designed my blog from scratch and don't need to be called girly :p, I find mine to be very easy and helpful to me. Writing = love.

0 OPaul Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Even the word 'blog' sounds feminine. And then the entire idea and writing down what's on your mind for your friends to read, showing your emotions to them and such is completely feminine. It is in no way a manly thing to do.

Traditionally showing emotions has been attributed to women just as burping is traditionally attributed to men. These are norms in American society.
