One of my biggest pet peeves these days are poorly constructed blogs. I don’t mean theme/template wise (though thats a sore point too, there’s NO FSCKING reason to have Music autoplaying on ANY website in this day and age. We’re not back in 1996!!!), I mean content wise. Along with some other bloggers, I’m attempting to break the chain of “Make Money Blogging” sites with an attempt to get back to the heart of things.

When Blogging started several years ago, people blogged because they wanted to share things, not make money. It wasn’t until a while after that the money making aspect came in to play. Prior to this, people put more effort in to their blogs when it came to content. The latest project I’m working on, The Art of Blogging seeks to help people find the art in blogging and concentrate more on blogging as a way of life and not just a way to make money.

The goal is to have weekly posts on a variety of topics (yes, there will be the occasional post on making money with your blog) mostly focusing on how to be a better blogger. Tips, tricks, reviews, themes, plugins and other advice will be shared by a varied panel of self described experts in the blogging world. THIS is where you come in!

We’re currently looking for people interested in writing columns about blogging. We’re also in need of reviewers and other asundry of folks to help make this site work right. If you have a talent (say, logo design!) we’d love to tap that talent! We’re also in need of ideas for posts. Tell me what you’d like to see and what you believe makes a good blog good! If you’d like to help, go to The Art of Blogging and register or leave me a note here. :razz:

I agree completely, 50%+ of new blogs around these days seem to focus on making money from blogging. I have no problem with people making money from it, but I always thought that the first stage was to create a blog, second to get visitors and maybe finally look to add some value in the way of revenue.

But hey, im no expert.

Take care
