yes.-
Yes? Bad for the eyes, I suppose
-
-
It's highly addictive and the result is a highly classified secret society called B.A.D. (Bloggers Addiction Disorder) Anonymous -
bad in term of healthy. back,neck and finger pain, eyes burn. other than that money and info we get is great-
Not bad!
-
-
NOPE. NOT AT ALL. -
Bad only if you let it interfere with your "real life." Great if you can find a balance between the two!-
There must be a balance somewhere, I suppose. A middle way!
-
-
All depends on the person. Usually excessive blogging and the related health problems are connected to a much broader addiction to all things internet.
Gotta tear myself away from this beast once in a while...-
I know what you mean. I am trying to tear myself away now but well, I fail!
-
-
"Bad" might be extreme, but I think it's often rather self-indulgent. -
-
Excessive blogging is like giving a drunk another drink to sober him up.
I try to avoid that.-
Good advice!
-
-
-
Sometimes do suffer from blogger depression!
-
-
No its great, my parents love peeking in and seeing what I'm up to, trouble is so do the clients so I have to be very careful !! Rather addictive though-
It's like drug!
-
-
duh.
EVERYTHING is bad
i think blogging causes cancer. oh wait.
i got cancer before i started a blog. blogging cures cancer. no, wait. i was cancer-free before i started my blog.
hmm
well, no matter. i'm sure blogging is bad. that's why i do it.-
It's normal to like bad things!
-
-
Yes, I'm obsessed with it. LOL-
We can obsessed with good things and then, that good thing becomes bad!
-
-
it's bad if that's all you do. it's therapeutic if you need to write. -
Not bad but blogging makes people addicted -
Blogging causes piles. Though it's not enough to make me quit. Bad, good...you decide-
That's a first. Blogging causes piles!

Join my group: Bloggers Anonymous. We have a one step program and serve coffee.-
decaf -
Does that mean that blogging is bad?
-
Do you have a blog?
-
-
Bad for the brain, excessive thinking LOL...actually for me blog is not bad it's my cup of tea and my "me" time. so not bad at all.-
Everything that is excessive is bad!
-
-
It's bad if it stops you from doing what you have to do. -
Anything that is excessive is bad.
-
I'm totally addicted to blogging and participating in forums now. Even weirder - I've always been a social butterfly and now I find myself making lots of new friends online.
Still....I do wish I could get everyone together for an actual party and really meet everyone....especially my wordpress buddies in the forums over there.-
Is this good or bad?
-
-
Bloggin is good if i make money bad when im not. -
Geee are you kidding? it should be theareputic for all~
hb~ -
Yes, blogging is bad. Um, why are we all on Blogcatalog?! lol-
The same reason why some people smoke I suppose!
-
-
I guess it's like anything, if you let it interfere with your real life, then that's not good. Balance is good. Which is why I'm here at 2am, LOL.
-
Been there, done that.
That sort of lapse in judgment can be annoying. More so for my wife: She has to deal with me later in the morning.
-
-
yes if it is taken to extremes and like DrowseyMonkey says and it starts to interfere with real life.
Moderation and balance means I can have a me cake and eat it without looking like a heffalump, and same applies to blogging.-
Yeah, everything that is done to the extreme is bad!
-
-
for whom? not for bloggers. everything in moderation.
-
Is Penicillin bad? Only if you are allergic or if you OD.-
It might be, if you were just taking it gratuitously. It's not really analogous, because penicillin is used to combat a problem; it's not something we just add to our lives because we feel like it.
-
Blogging can combat problems too, in my case mental chaos: markstoneman.wordpress.com/2007/12/26/blogging-to-make-sense-of-the-world/

If I wasn't spending time blogging I might be doing something even more pointless i.e. sitting in front of the TV, drinking, going for walks etc. -
It depends

On whether or not it inspires you to go around dropping irrelevant links into discussions like a common spammer?

MadameX,
I'm covered with shame and remorse. Did you see what I did, replying to your comment, a little earlier?
-
-
It's dangerous. Absolutely. I can't go for days without blogging.-
Just like smoking I suppose, or drugs!
-
-
It's bad if you get obsessed by it, as life can pass you by while you're away blogging but it's good if you make money from it or get some kind of liberation by expressing yourself on your blog.
I wrote an article once how blogging can help you lose weight:

Unhealthy Obsession! -
I think if you become a daily blogger you are in a new zone. At that point, if you aren't making money you have to ask yourself what you get from it. If you can't make a decent list of how you benefit then you should either: cut back to a couple posts a week and/or make some money at it. I know a couple people on here I've seen post that they are "professional" marketers etc. but I think a large percentage of folks in these BC parts are quite addicted and making no money. Just my perception. I write every month about my goals and money progress with my blog. I suggest something like that to those who think they are wasting their time/career/eyes etc. Here's the link, maybe it will give you an idea how I benefit by challenging myself and getting paid 100-500/month through blogging: postcardsfromthefunnyfarm.com/a-self-rating-system-for-my-blog/

On a lighter note ...
Are you ready to take the Blogger’s Pledge?
onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/are-you-ready-to-take-the-bloggers-ple...-
I liked that. really true for some of us and that makes it funny. But if you have goals as a blogger, then some of that stuff is not so bad. It's just an artist making goals and setting them. Because it's a new technology, people have a hard time with the goals. I don't think that's a heavier note or a lighter note but I am a very heavy guy (not in weight, I am 170, 5'8") And remember I named my blog the Funny farm so ... I can't really help being out there once in a while ... ok daily ... hourly.

No, lol
i orginally wrote almost 1500 articles till now and what do i want now is plz letting nobody acknowledge me for anything, let them be star and i be all happy to start to acknowledge them... so for now, im off with usual blogging with no me in them... i think i wud start writing again, but atleast i should improve a little more than actual... my eyes??? it was but now i can sit before weeks before PC, my eyes dont hurt now !!! nops, i dont about my career yet !!!! -
Highly addictive!-
Sounds like drug and that's bad!
-
-
it can be bad if it becomes addictive ... but on the other side what if a person uses blogging for his/her career ... maybe it can be helpful in a great way when it comes to ones career (depending on the individual) ... probably someone who's using blogging to spread his/her writings/articles ... u never know ...-
Using it for a career; that sounds useful!

What's the reference point for defining "good" and "bad"? Thanks for 'Albert Einstein' and the 'Relativity Theory' :S
Aside from joking, it's good to have a balanced behavior between your virtual and real life so you can achieve your goals in both! -
Bad for my eyes but still i love it.-
I think they are bad for my eyes too. So, now I use pinhole spectacles!
-
-
bad for me if i spend more than 2 hours a day, especially when my schedule is full
-
But it is nice, isn't it?
