I do, only when I'm kind of bored though. Actually, no, let me rephrase that.

I do, when I'm really bored though. There, that's better.

Look up on the page, where it says Home, User CP, Experience, Arcade, etc... There's one called "Share", and it has a dropmenu. That's where the Blogs are.

And blogs are... Um... Well, it's sort of like...an online diary/journal of the sorts, sometimes public, sometimes not.

And yes, Dedede. I just wrote an entry. There are others that write, too...

Have had a quick scan once or twice but I don't really see the point of them myself.

Well, I write them and I read them.

A blog is different to a topic post or reply. A blog allows the writer to say whatever they want, about any topic. Most of the blogs here talk about how the various people are progressing in terms of level development.

I use my own blog to write down different bugs I have found and how different concepts are progressing (or not progressing). I even used one of the entries as a back bone for the sticky guide, "When should I publish my level?" The article is here: https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=5473

The original blog entry is here: http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/blog.php?b=80

Even if no one were to read my own blogs, which I know are long reads and opinionated, I still get personal value over the chance to reflect.

I just love reflecting, really. Not only does it help me to problem solve situations with design out loud, but it allows me to think in a direct and purposeful way about what's been done and what will be happening.

Sure, some users don't blog as often, and the quality for different people varies wildly, but it is interesting reading other people's views and opinions about whatever they want to discuss.

And if you want a short cut to a random blog, on the front page of the forums down at the very bottom you can see a thing which says "Latest blog entry". That will get you the latest one hot off the press.

No, I have trouble keeping up with the posts as it is, if I started reading blogs too I'd be done for!2008-12-11 11:35:00

I do, I comment too. (Only when I have something to say though)
But everytime I see a new blog though, I read it.


Elbee pretty much got it perfectly right. Threads and blogs are nothing alike.

I haven't blogged yet, but I will probably soon.

i haven't read it and i find no interest in doing so. I prefer the different opinions and chat vibe that comes from a forum.2008-12-11 12:25:00

I started blogging here a couple weeks ago. I used to blog a lot a few years back, it's a good way to just get everything off your chest when you don't have someone nearby you can talk to.

In a blog you just talk about anything and everything, but you're not really talking *to* anyone or expecting anyone to read and comment. It's just a place to write your thoughts. People who bother to read the blog get to gain some insight into the person writing it.

That's how I see them anyway.

Doesn't have to be about anyone's life really. I add the little tidbit here and there, but my life is not that interesting to talk about. I prefer to write about LBP, the ideas I have for it, how my levels are going, and the community here.

Yeah I'm not going to read that either.

I do! I do! I used to have my own blog online.. but ran out of time to run it, so I gave it up... it's interesting to see what's going through people's thoughts..

Right now, mine is just my status update on my level I'm working on... (and griping about my bad bowling... 3 Sub-100 games!!! ARGH! YICK! YUCK!!!), but after a while that might just change.

I don't write about my life in my blogs. My 'thing to do' is write a large list consisting of things I hate. I think that could stretch out to about eight entries.2008-12-12 13:08:00

I've read most every blog that has gone up. Normally when I don't read is when it is about someone's life or something. Not that I don't care, it's just not interesting.2008-12-12 22:53:00
