This is probably a unique post. At least, I will try to keep it unique.

The current entry will be an entry about blogging. I see a growing tendency in the blogging community to blog about blogging. People often talk on blogs about how great blogs are, how to blog, how cool it is to write a web log, and stuff like that.

Of course, people blog about anything popular. So if blogs are popular, then let's blog about blogging. Otherwise, the traffic will drop very soon.

This seems to me like patting on your own shoulder. If you blog, it should be about something meaningful to the rest of the world, something that is worth telling. It should not be something that blogs for the sake of blogging. It would be the same as if New York Times would have whole articles about typography or paper production and maintenance.

Since for me traffic on this site isn't that important a factor, I will try to never post about blogging (this is an exception).
