Hello world!

Welcome to My Blogging Journal. When a friend asked me to take a look at his personal finance site and comment on it, I checked out lots of other sites as well so I could compare his site with others. While I found a lot of really good sites, I also found a lot that frankly are pretty lame. The sad thing is, most of the lame sites seem to be run by people with a lot of enthusiasm for their chosen subject, but they all repeat the same mistakes that make their blogs lame.

I decided to start this site for two reasons. First, I wanted to post my observations on other blogs in the hope that people will stumble across this site and use the information to improve their own blogs. Second, as a personal challenge, I want to see how much traffic I can pull in a niche that is already extremely crowded – blogs about blogs and blogging. So without further adieu, enjoy the site.
