What makes the blog worth visiting?
Kickin’ it Old School is one dude’s point of view on all things pop culture & sports related. It often (but not always) focuses on topics relating to the 1980’s decade and often (but not always) uses Top 10 lists to generate discussion. Each issue ends with three special features including ‘Check this out’ calling attention to something funny and/or interesting, ‘Quote of the day’ providing some inspirational words, and ‘Download this’ recommending one song that might be worth adding to your personal collection.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Write both as if you think no one else is reading it and as if everybody is reading it. To paraphrase one of my favorite quotes by Oliver Wendell Holmes, it’s faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a blog worth writing.

Blog Title THE WEEKLY SONGCAST
Blog URL: http://www.weeklysongcast.com
Blog Tagline: A New song written, recorded and published every week in paradise.
What makes the blog worth visiting?
I wanted to inspire people to follow their dreams, so I decided to inspire myself and be inspiring by following my own dream. I am writing songs in a tropical paradise and my dream is to make it my job. Follow me, be inspired by the music as I soak up a new culture and let it seep into my songwriting. You may even find your own dream is closer than you think.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Your blog is a service, no matter how many readers you may attract. If you want to make the most of your blog, well anything in life really, you have to be certain: Certain about your message, your manifesto and your vision & purpose if you want your blog to have any lasting impact. Without a vision & purpose your blog has no value to anyone because it will have no meaning or value to you and it won’t hold your enthusiasm or anyone else’s for long. With enthusiasm in your writing, you will convey something irresistible to your readers.
Authenticity is key to your writing, so be authentic, be committed to providing value and a reason for readers to come back regularly, happily spread the word about how your blog is worth the time it takes to read.

What makes the blog worth visiting?
We speak to the newbies of social media who want to use the internet for business but don’t consider themselves part of the technorati class. We are focusing lately on reaching out to the Hawaii tourism community – and others whose business or brand is managed by out-sourced agencies. We love video podcasting and are experts at helping companies craft show ideas to assist their customers and extend their brands.

“Don’t Get It? Don’t Worry?!”

Don’t Get It? Don’t Worry!

We think each business has specific requirement and resources, and really like to tease apart “group think” that is increasingly popular in business advising. You won’t find posts like “10 Things You Must Do…” on our blog! We also produce the internet TV show – Beach Walks with Rox. Daily chill out from the beautiful beaches of Hawaii.

Blog Title … and hijinks ensued
Blog URL: http://hijinksgalore.blogspot.com
Blog Tagline: Random babblings from my world
What makes the blog worth visiting?
What makes me different from other bloggers is my general spirit of eclectism (as well as my tendency to make up words like eclectism). I will post about why seahorses are cool alongside a list of scandalous confessions all below musings on the nature of empathy.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
It is a little delicious having a secret identity. Granted, the grad-student-by-day, secret-blogger-by-night combination is hardly the calibre of Clark Kent/Superman. Still, as this nocturnal identity seeps in through my pores, I find my sense of self shifting a little.

Blog Title What About Mom

Blog Tagline: I’d gaze at my navel, but, have you seen that thing?
What makes the blog worth visiting?
Um. Why not? My kids are above-average, my husband is dorky but forgiving, and I have a 5-ingredient recipe for Molten Lava Cakes.
“I can only hope that when my daughters are old enough to be mothers themselves, they will read what I have written about them, and what thousands of other mothers have written about their own children, and know that I never lied to them: I didn’t enjoy the potty-training or the whiny, high-pitched voices or the syrup on the carpet or the embarrassing runs to the ER for croup or the daily ruining of nice clothes or the stinky poop, but I did enjoy them.
They are the reason I am not even more self-absorbed and impatient and intolerant. They are why I get up in the morning and why I feel guilty when I stay up too late. They are why I am who I am today.

Hi, my name is Al. My humble site is about making dreams come true.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
The seven P’s are passion, purpose, planning, pursuit, progress, power, and peace. For a little sample, here’s is a snippet from a recent post: “Whether we like it or not, an apology is admitting to the world a weakness and that you failed. Good – be weak. Show you’re human. Make mistakes. Make them early and make them often. Learn from them. Grow. When you fail, say, ‘I’m sorry. I’ll do better next time.’ And make sure you back those words up.”
