So the definition of “blogger” goes back to the ancient days when we had regular ol’ Websites, coding the pages manually, adding content daily, thrice daily — or more? Working it like a newspaper? Wait a second, that was a newspaper! My bad.

Yeah, I worked news sites, but also my own site, which I kept up-to-date with information and rants.

I guess people get lazy every now and then, can’t maintain the same output constantly. I try to blog at least once a week but there’s times when it doesn’t work out that way, shrug. My readers know the next review will come … soon! :)

[...] Lorelle at BlogHerald ponders whether bloggers are lazy in general. She deduces this because she finds the same old topics being discussed, OK, not even discussed, but referenced by scores of blogs, without individual contributions. [...]

I ussually never read posts this long on blogs, but this kept my attention. I only know blogging since a couple of months, and to be honest, I thought it was something new. I can imagine you must appreciate all the luxury these times have to offer.

Well, about me, I’m definitely some kind of a lazy blogger at the moment. Half of my content is written by myself, but sometimes I just need news updates from other blogs. Now this is not the end of the world, because its mostly promotional content from a company or service I represent. I have never blogged about myself, or my own experiences, maybe that will be next step though. The reason I don’t do that is because I have no idea yet, how to get people to read my posts. So yes, I’m a newbie, but not lazy when it really matters. I like to write content.

I hope to learn how I can get people to read my blog, and how to keep it interesting without using actualities or other people’s news updates. Definitely a subject to think about.

I’m still new to blogging, so getting my feet wet, I did what most do and regurgitated a lot of material, but ever since a recent post on Problogger.net about this exact subject, I’ve been a lot more cognizant of not just writing my own material, but looking to other sources outside of my niche for inspiration. It’s not easy, but a lot more rewarding.

I’m not a lazy blogger.

Before I started blogging I thought a lot of what you’ve just written; the blogosphere is so many people talking about what each other are saying. Although I was drawn to the idea of self-driven writing and publishing I decided I would not start a blog until a) I’d found a topic to write about that no-one else seemed to be writing about; and b) wasn’t a dreary account of my day to day tedious life.

And I think I’ve found a suitable topic in reporting on skyscrapers being built in London. I can quite confidently say that no-one else in the blogosphere is writing about it. I get very little traffic as I don’t write about buzzy things, but I feel satisfied that I’m contributing something different rather than just adding to the clutter and repetition. And it also gets me out of the house.

I know that I am a lazy blogger, but I don’t mind. Programs and widgets make blogging so much easier today than in years past. We as bloggers can now spend more time on content instead of worrying about the technical aspect of our blog.

The avoidance of being a lazy blogger is one of the challenges of writing for Metroblogging Portland – sure there’s lots of local news to write about but it’s the same news that everyone else is covering.

Reporting the same thing is boring. We try to avoid it over there by putting some unique spin on things. Last night everyone in Portland was reporting some grannies got arrested in a war protest. I formed an argument and posted that I felt their methods were insulting to the military recruits… that was the unique angle.

Im such a lazy blogger, I don’t even call myself one. I sort of report things that I am working on, and it’s not exactly news, and it’s not exactly content-worthy. If you were to throw in the design of your blog as well, I’d be right at the top in terms of laziness. I do customize my layouts however, to make them “mine”. Where I make up for the general laziness is user-focused info. It’s not exactly perfect yet, but I have my next project set up so that it welcomes you with your name, and your pic. A Youtube video in my fully customized admin area also awaits you. I took the RSS code from the Worsdpress Admin Feed and resused it in an entirely seperate page to gather news from Digg, Salaon, Newsvine, Reuters, NYTimes, and the Washingtonpost.

So I guess I’m lazy on the frontend, but am very meticulous on the backend.
