A discussion over at The Blog Herald, some people adversely decide whether they should spend (waste?) time reading blogs that have url’s ending in “.blogspot.com” or “.wordpress.com”. To some, these url addresses bring negative connotations as to the contents of the blog, although this may not always be the case.
Everyone, indeed, can just simply create a new blog over those sites (blogger and wordpress.com) anytime for free.

Here’s a song entitled “I Started a Blog Nobody Read” by the band Sprites under their album Modern Gameplay. It can qualify to be the bloggers’ theme song, huh, especially for those are yet starting out.
Excerpts from the song’s lyrics follow:
I started a blog which nobody read.. When I went to work, I blogged there instead..I started a blog which nobody viewed…
I started a blog but nobody came; no issues were raised, no comments were made;
I started a blog which nobody read.. all I did wasn’t that great but you must know here’s what I said…
I started a blog; I sent you the link; I wanted the world to know what I think…
I started a blog but when I read yours; it made me forget what I have started mine for…
coComment Deleted
I have just deleted my account in coComment. coComment is suppose to let you follow conversations in blogs, so you’ll keep yourself into the loop for discussions that interest you. However, I just can’t seem to make it work!
