My blog. Check it out! I made it because everyone's always says teenagers are so apathetic with news/politics and I wanted to give my 2 cents and....yeah. I try to expose some mini-hypocrises I see and just explain my point of view. I try to update it almost every day with that day's news. Its just getting started and I know the writing is a bit choppy, but let me know what you think. I just wrote a piece on the risk of Iraq becoming to Kerry what Vietnam was to Nixon. I'm sure it will piss alot of you off....but if it does, leave comments on the page! They're always appreciated.
I need input. THANKS!

PS: Please link to it!!!!

11. I just got lucky

Usually I'll post my blog post on multiple sites but I got lucky with those pictures of Darth cheny and Luke Edwards. I woke up one morning and found out I had 600 visits in one night. But now its tapered down to about 30 a day. So my advice is just to post segments of your blog around to stir up interest.

12. yeah

i'll try that.

13. Nice blog...is your pic bloat-pixel'd on purpose?

:D

I lived near St. Cloud for a couple years...I miss the good people in MN, but not the winter weather. ;-)

14. OK, Teenage Enthusiast, I'll swap links with ya.

I've been infrequently blogging since January. I like what I've seen so far. I think I'd like to see a "hook" from you, however--something to make your blog more personal. Much of what you say I can read elsewhere. I'd love to hear more about a middle America teenager's experiences rather than your opinions.

I mean, your opinions are good, so include them. But they'll matter more to your readers if you include more of your personal story among the things you write. How do your friends feel about the draft? What do you see going on in the environment up in Minnesota? What sort of interaction do yall have with the campus Republicans? Are they making yall say the Pledge every morning?

This is how a writer builds up ethos in order for his words to weigh more in the minds of his readers. Anyhoo, I'm off to add your link to my links. I'd love to see a reciprocation, Nirv.

Oh, and PS. Get a haircut, you damn hippie! You look pixelated!

:o)
