CORK UBBERBLOGGER SPELLS IT OUT
Sabrina Dent is Cork’s top dog blogger. She recently ran a class in blogging. i wasn’t able to attend but the slides that she posted on line give a flavour.
I would go along with almost all of the points but there is always something in me that just wants to break the rules. When someone says do this, I just want to do that.
Sill the man point is to know the rules if only so that you can break them. Post once a day? Well i will if i feel like it.
I think the suggestions she has assume that you want some kind of sucess in the blogging world and i know lots of people blog just for the record. To put their thoughts ‘out there’ with no particular view of commercial rewards.
In a way those are sometimes the most interesting blogs. The people who have a day job as well (unlike me at the moment!). I realize Sabrina has a day job. She is an excellent web designer.
Perhaps what i am saying is that I like to read peoples thoughts who avoid the process of blogging itself and that probably accounts for the rise and rise of Stephen Fry on Twitter. He is primarily a comedian and raconteur. He travels and reports back on what he sees and what he is doing. Not on how he is doing it (apart from his recent outburst about a certain laptop running a Seattle based operating system).
Anyhow, here goes me rattling on about blogging instead of my life in the real world. Maybe i’ll have to get one?
Here’s Sabrinas slides anyhow. Tell me what you think…

I think you have me confused with somebody else. I am Cork’s Uber Crankypants. Damien Mulley is Cork’s uber blogger. And long may we keep him – fecker keeps threatening to move to Dublin.
Anyway, I completely agree with you about the value of some of the more random blogs out there. I wrote one for years, and I still enjoy reading any number of “life stream” blogs – this is what I had for breakfast, that gig was shite, my boyfriend is an arse, and did you read this other thing in the paper?
This course however was specifically for business bloggers – people with websites with a commercial focus, of which their blog is just one part. By and large these are not people who are blogging for fun, but blogging with a purpose and hopefully a passion. The “at least once a week, never twice in the same day” is what is says on the tin (or at least on the left of the slide) – a recipe for lazy blogging, ie maximising the traction you can get off minimum posting.
By all means, work away!
Sabrina hi,
Thanks for dropping by. I don’t actually count Damien as he is all over the place and not really in Cork is he?
I actually labeled you as ‘Cork’s top dog blogger’. Which is slightly different. Anyhow thanks for the slides. Made me think – which is a nice change
Have a great 09.
All the best Dave
