I've been seriously considering starting ablog site. Blogcritics.org is clearly a great source for information and inspiration.

Got room for a neophyte? My mentor is here(copygodd) and it would be neat for me to be on the same site. If I screw up, may I blame him?

KingofBad is the world's only Web site that gives away unregister domain names daily! (We think we're the world's only web site doing this, we're not 100% sure. I'm bad that way.) As domain speculators say of their offerings on eBay, the domains on KingofBad are very rare, one-of-a-kind, and all available at the time of posting. But unlike eBay, our domains don't sell for $500, $10,000 or even $1 million -- because they're all free. Yes, that's right, folks, free. We don't own them anyway. Some of the recommendations are funny, serious, and some potentially good ideas for certain subject areas. In real life, the KingofBad is a journalist.

I do not know if I am blogcritic material or not. I am just a freelance writer with a very big mouth.
I have always wanted to be part of a sinister cabal, however. Must I purchase a special robe to wear?

Hello!
I recently started a blog that I wanted limited to reviews and critiques. I didn't want it to be a personal journal like others. I only posted two reviews but stalled because it wasn't on a site like this and didn't feel like it mattered. Can I try blogging here? This is the blog set up I'm looking for!
35 - Eric Olsen
sure Steve, just send me an email as it states above

this site is crazy
37 - Al Barger
This site is crazy?
No, it's not. YOU'RE crazy.
Shut up, yes it is. We're crazy.
Oh yeah? Well if it's so crazy, why don't you just head yourself off to Crazy Town?
Maybe I will.
Fine, then just go.
Will these voices ever stop?
I doubt it.

Excuse my ignorance, but I'm curious about the details.
Why do you need a URl to become a member?
Is their no framework for posting withing the site itself? Do we need to post on our own site and then upload it to the BC server?
Anywya, maybe that doesnt even make sense. I dont know the internet tech stuff...
43 - Eric Olsen
do you have a site?
44 - sydney
umm no I don't. Is that a problem?
45 - DrPat
May I suggest - Blogger? It's free and easy...
46 - sydney
Are you just trying to get rid of me Dr. Pat?
Your probably one of my enemies arn't you?
How can I trust you?
(You see... I like going to battle with the enemies I've made here. So I'd prefer to stay at BC)
47 - DrPat
But, sydney, you need a blog to be a blogger, doncha see? And that's why Eric asks for your blog URL, which you can't give him if you don't have one...
Because it's "a sinister cabal of bloggers," and until you are one, you're just another drive-by commenter. If you're cool with that, pass on the free URL.
48 - Phillip Winn
For now, you must have a blog somewhere in order to join Blogcritics. Go ahead, start up a free site at Blogger, then come knocking again. It shouldn't take you more than a few minutes. :-)
Perhaps someday soon we'll offer people the chance to have a blog right here at blogcritics.org, but that day is not today.
49 - sydney
Ok I see.... didnt know how the whole thing worked...
50 - Tristan
sydney~~~
Dr Pat is correct and Blogger is a good one...
Please do not feel "lonely"--I'm kinda getting a good chuckle out of this as what you are going through is exactly what I went through when I 1st found BlogCritics also--and I felt the same feelings you are also.
At first I really loved the site--tried to follow the directions as best I could--was a little unsure in that area, not being a geek-techee, etc., and tried to "contribute" to "feel worthy" of "being here"----
and encountered a few that instead of reaching out to "help" the "newbie"--used it as a venue to be sarcastic of the "newbie" (thus showing their friends they had allready cultivated on here how bright and witty they were!!!) ---
which of course left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth--after I'd been so excited and happy to have found what I thought was place of similar-minded intelligent people that encouraged and supported each other...!
So please don't get discouraged and do anticipate that it is a forum where there are many on here with disparate viewpoints and some will reply to innocuous and well-intentioned posts with rather rude bashing; it just seems to be the nature of the game here.

This is my review site where I review individual songs - one by one - indepth single song reviews - rather than album reviews - taking into account the way many people listen to music now - one mp3 at a time.
52 - [signal to noise]
[signal to noise]...daily rants on politics, life, media and the general state of the world
A little background...
I live in Washington, D.C. and work for a major media organization. I'm overly educated, underpaid and not entirely what you would call "motivated." I get by. And for now, that's good enough. I used to strive for perfection. I used to want to be more than just another cog in the machinery, but now I'm reserved to making the most of what I have without making a big fuss of things.
This is not to say that I lack ambition. I want to be successful like anyone else. But I've decided that the world has become too cut throat and I'm not going to contribute by going after my little piece of cheese like all the other rats. Have you ever read that book "Who Moved My Cheese?" I have...it's a load of crap. Nobody moved the damn cheese, you just weren't looking out for it so you probably misplaced it. Look after your own cheese and no one will move it, and you won't feel the need to move anyone else's cheese. So, keep your hands off the damn cheese!
Besides, it's just work. It shouldn't rule your life. You don't need a job that will make you happy, you just need a job that won't make you miserable.

tristan's reply to sydney made me recall me first days at Blogcritics about a month ago.
Some of my first articles didn't fly very well here, and people let me know it. I got some sarcasm and withering remarks.
But I'm grateful to those who made them; they really were telling me things about my writing I needed to hear, even if it wasn't fun to hear it.
I credit this sinister cabal with really helping me become a much better writer and reviewer. And convincing me to do things like fact check, and take spelling seriously and the like.
New Blogcritcs members may undergo a similar uncomfortable experience. But if you take what people say here to heart, even if they say it with sarcasm, you may see that they're actually doing you a favor.
So I'd just like to thank the gang here for roughing me up a little in the beginning. I needed it.
Blogcritics has been an excellent experience, better than a journalism 101 class. And I've come to admire respect and appreciate the regulars here very much, and I'm grateful for the guidence they've given me.
Eric has been great, too, very helpful and friendly.
I hope he's convinced a few people out there to join up; the more there are, the better the experience will be for all of us.

Eric, have you ever thought of doing
a "Best Of B.C" type round up sometime
in the future.So many good writers have come and gone.Stopped in for a quick visit,left hilarious remarks(Bricklayer)
never posted proper and so on.It could be hilarious and mighty entertaining to
boot.It would put all on the same level
from those of us with a handful posts amd a decent one out of those to those
who oughta be in syndication in a really
big way. The Duke,yerself,Shark,MacDiva,
and so many others.Just a thought.
It could be sold on line by subject or
compiled in book form with a story on
how you came to this arena in the first place. Narrative between various topics
and a million other ideas.Just curious.

hi! a prolific blogger here, witty, charming, opinionated, and comes with a smallish but loyal built in audience.
what I'm lacking is a properly installed mail client in order to do that handy dandy 1 click email to eric. I've been shuffling around in here for awhile now, great site by the way, yet i've failed miserably in my efforts to turn up a written eddress.
I wrote a couple reviews for The Weblog Review, and got a pretty lousy review done on my own blog as the reviewer was not overly impressed with my pink template from Blogger. Cie le vie, eh?
I also wrote a 30 day wonder novel for NaNoWriMo last November which was fast loose and sloppy, sorta like me. (Of COURSE it's linked, sheesh) I'm now hard at work on the 3rd book in that series and having a blast writing down and dirty stuff.
I'm attempting to hustle up some sort of corporate sponsorship that would be willing to fund a gigantic BlogBash for a bunch of cool bloggers internationally. I modestly percieve this party as becoming the Burning Blog Festival, I've got enough room in my desert to host a few thousand folks for a week or three.
I LIKE you guys, I really really like you, may I play too?

Hi Eric,
First of all, as for the comment #8, that “a black man couldn't be something in the U.S.A ... so bring him down!” is a bunch of bull. I was one of Michael Jackson's biggest fans. I can't tell you one person I knew of (especially in the '80s) who didn't think he was the most gifted artist of all time....black or white, so what’s going on here has nothing to do with the color of his skin.
My question to all those who are so adamant that he is innocent is this...why are allegations only relating to boys? Why did Michael mostly only have boys at his home? If he was such a giver of love and his intentions were so innocent, why didn't he love little girls too? Didn't he want to make them feel "special" too? And why was he always alone with these boys? He had kids of his own. Why don’t I ever hear any mention of his kids being a part of these parties? Why would his kids be sleeping in their own rooms when he was sleeping in his bedroom with these boys?
I have a daughter and when she was young and I was baby-sitting for a friend’s child I wouldn't even think twice of not letting her be part of the party; regardless if the friend’s child was a boy or a girl. has anyone ever asked about these things? I haven't watched the trial on a daily basis and maybe this stuff has been covered. If it has please let me know because I would really like to know the answers to my questions.
Would like some insight.

Thanks!

One question: If I join Blogcritics, will everything that I post to my personal blog automatically feed to Blogcritics? I post a lot, but only 1 out of 10 or so posts would be the type of material that you would probably want to appear here. I do reviews and cultural commentary, but also quite a few one-sentence link-type posts, posts which are merely references to previous posts, etc.
59 - bhw
No, you have to join BC and manually post here, so you pick the items that appear here.

The Desperate Housewife
The desperate housewife is all the craze. Even Laura Bush was considered a comedienne when she told an audience that she was a desperate housewife.
She also told the audience that the president went to bed,every night, at 9:00 p.m. If she considers herself a desperate housewife because the president goes to bed early then the country is desperate also.
What makes him so tired? He does not have sex with his wife and he does not do anyhing for our country.
Maybe they should make a television series called The Desperate Country.

How can a radio station claim to be a sports talk radio station and NOT talk about sports? I recommend listening on-line at www.theticket.com and see if someone can answer that for me.
By the way, I just sent an e-mail to become a blog critic. This looks like fun!
Have a good weekend!
