I hate blogs like that. He's just reposting articles from other places but not citing the source.

Personally, I hate blogs by negative, know it all, wannabes....

I've never been able to figure out how people actually get others to read their blogs unless they're famous already. It almost feels like it's some kind of popularity contest, where the "cool" people get read, even though their blogs really aren't all that interesting. It's like trying to figure out readership by using the laws of Calvin Ball.

It's kind of frustrating, actually, because I can get readership for my novels, but rarely for my blog. Or they read it and just don't say anything, which means it's even more confusing to put a handle on this sort of thing.

But I'm always looking for good blogs to read; there just seems to be way too many pretentious blogs by people who are writing to write rather than to say something interesting.

No worries, I should take it as a compliment coming from someone as great as you.

Sarbonn, I just happened across it during a Google search of something else.
