Topics: blog promotion, blogcatalog, blogs, link drop
In the interest of creating a link drop thread that might actually be somewhat interesting how about this.
Tell me three things about your blog that I can't find out by going to your blog's listing here at BC. Then add a link to a post that really captures the flavor of your blog.

How about three complete thoughts? And I think I could have figured out the cheeseburger part.
-
Ah. You're one of those culturally artistic freaking serious-until-your-eyes-pop-out kind of bloggers. I'll tell you now that my blog is not one of those. I can't even write down a complete thought about my blog.
-
I've never been called artistic before. Thanks.
-
Haha, you're welcome.

1. Most of my illustrations are done in watercolor
2. My target audience are children (not for my blog but for my illustrations)
3. Most of my blog´s visitors come from "Illustration Friday"
any illustration that you see there will let you know what my style is.
pazdesigns.blogspot.com-
Coolness! Thanks.
Have you ever thought of doing a blog of illustrations and specifically targeting children with it? Maybe through the homeschool market, or parents looking for additional cultural/educational opportunities for their children?
BTW, all I can say about the art on this blog is "magical". It's a complete mystery to me, how some people can turn a blank canvas into things like this. -
Thanks a lot for the compliments!
I never thought about having my portfolio children friendly... it is a great idea, I might start working on that soon.

#1. I blog only for myself and care nothing about what other people have to say about my blog. My blog is a work in progress for my sanity only.
#2. Topics range from affiliate marketing, social networking, web2.0, yoga
and whatever else interest me at the moment.
#3. My target audience is global and whoever accidently lands on it.
My attitude is if you were stupid enough to land on it, read something, leave a comment
and then "GGGEEETTTT OOOUUUTTT".

Hey, did you know that right now readmystuffpunk.com is NOT registered? That would make a coolish blog name, for someone I think.
-
@DaneMorgan...Yeah I think I still have BuyMyStuffPunk
and IamYoMamaPunk but I may not be using these in the future and may just give them up.
I have other plans that will take the place of those two domains.
I am still pissed that GoJumpInaLake was taken.

1. Aside from some obvious sidebar buttons, all images and photos in it are made by me.
2. My blog has a small book list page with a list of books (duh) that I've read and found interesting enough to write a short comment on.
3. As time goes on, I write longer and longer posts and I don't try to shorten them in any way
A post that reflects the whole blog ... hmm, let's see ... there are a few ... oh! Here's one:
The tree, the stump and the blackout
omarmodesto.wordpress.com/2008/11/02/the-tree-the-stump-and-the-blackout/-
How do you make Orchids grow on an Avacado stump?
-
I'd have to ask my mother for details, but it seems she just tied them to it and the roots just ... started growing. They've been there since long before the tree was cut down.
-

1. I blog in my own informal, speaking "voice" meaning that occasionally, my posts will have run on sentences, or incomplete sentences, or incorrect grammar, or an expletive or two (but nothing to make your skirt or pants fly up).
2. I have a very dry, self-deprecating sense of humor, and can find humor in almost anything, especially my kids, husband and lousy bladder.
3. My main goal of my blog is to start my readers' day with a smile and hopefully a laugh or two.
It's hard to narrow it down to one post that reflects my blog's flavor ... they all do! I'll spare you the ones about my bladder. Here's a recent one:
No, Nate does not answer to the name Rudolph ...

I'm not sure which I enjoyed more. Your writing style or the way you decorate. I'm like all inspired to do some quotable decorating around here now.
-
LOL!
-
Great blog!
-
-
Ok, everyone is making me feel stupid, so I'll take another whack at this.
#1 My blog started out as a website to post my films and to give advice on computers, then as I was hanging some pictures I fell and it my head.
#2 I had absolutely NO traffic until I joined BlogCatalog. Sadly, this was after I hit my head.
#3 I type all of my posts with my feet.
mrcheeseburger.blogspot.com/2008/07/thoughts-on-carnivals.html
A post from back in the day, before I hit my head.-
cheeseburger, you have feet? -
and can i just call you "cheese" from now on?
cheeseburger just takes way too long to type out. -
Of course. How on earth would I clip my toenails if I didn't have any feet?
-
Oooh, I like cheese. From now on, you may call me cheese.
-
A surprise ending. Cool. I was expecting you to grab a cheeseburger and ride the thing again.
I have to ask though after reading that post, and this one here. Have you bought yourself a helmet yet? Your head is a magnet!
PS. I knew you could do it! -
Alas, due to my irregularly shaped head, I cannot find a properly fitting one.
-
-
When I think about it...my blog listing - has nothing to do with my blog:)
3 things
Outspoken
Sarcastic
....and a little self righteous:)
One of my favorite posts and the one that I think sums up the "true" me
whimsicalpam.blogspot.com/search/label/aging-
Come on, give me a little more on the three things. I'm asking all nice like and you know that ain't easy for me.
-
-
A little more, like what Dane...specifics please:)
-
Three facts about your blog, like the above examples (except for the first reply
). -
What Friday said.
Tell us how you decide what to post about, or why you started your blog, or who you write for, or what your goals are or what your main inspiration is...
Something that gets us all interested and makes us itch to click over and see what you're talking about.

I post about things that I feel are wrong in society today. I post about parenting techniques...or the lack there of. I post about the constant whining and complaining of society.
My posting decisions are based on my current events. Common courtesy, do the right thing...even when it isn't the easy thing...
I think that if you look back through my blog, you'll find many posts that show the true me and why I blog. It's an outlet, but because I am a business - I have to tone it down a notch, every now and then.
Allright boys...does that answer it:)-
That does it ... but you forgot to number them
-
-
You're right Friday...outspoken is a little redundant:)
-
Sorry Dane. I have to go to bed now. But Have a Happy Thanksgiving! -
1) I post about things that I feel are wrong in society today. I post about parenting techniques...or the lack there of.
2)I post about the constant whining and complaining of society.
3)My posting decisions are based on my current events. Common courtesy, do the right thing...even when it isn't the easy thing...
Unofficial 4) I think that if you look back through my blog, you'll find many posts that show the true me and why I blog. It's an outlet, but because I am a business - I have to tone it down a notch, every now and then.
Numbered and compliant-
So you made all of the jewelry showing at the top of your blog?
-
-
1. The main goal of my blog is to have fun.
2. I think society is one big comic strip and I enjoy poking fun at it. Humor can be found in just about everything.
3. I love to make people laugh. It's a great way to relieve stress.
As to which post captures the flavor of my blog; they all cover different topics, so that's a tough one. Most recent post: "Guantanamo Bay Resort and Spa", then there's "Kitty Litter Cake"...both totally different.

I agree. Anything can be made funny, even the death of a loved one.

The word australopithecus has never been used in my blog.
My blog was an aardvark in a former life, and will likely be a chair or a desk in its next one.
My incredible sex appeal shines through in every post.

1)hunting near an active volcano can be dangerous!

Best not mention meat or you know who will pop in! -
Meat?!?! Oh dear, I think I'm going to be sick...
-
Cats will keep the rattlesnakes away... At least until the coyotes eat them.
-
-
-
Uh oh, incomplete thoughts. Dane isn't going to like thiiiissss...
-
lol, better watch it, he might be hungry. Run, run for cover!
-
Oh dear, I hope he isn't hungry. I just happen to be a cheeseburger!
-
Muah ha ha! Now he'll never find me!
-
That's three words, not three things. Give us more!
-

1. I give away freebies in an attempt to make the web (and the world) a more beautiful place.
2. Most of my digital art takes me days to produce, while the hand-drawn stuff is done in a matter of hours, usually while watching Mythbusters.
3. A lot of the art I make comes from my dreams - vivid images that won't leave my head until I recreate them in real life.
Two links, since there are two pretty distinct elements to the stuff I post:

Great topic, by the way. I love the responses you're getting here.-
They are quite nice aren't they? Especially the ones by that cheeseburger guy.
-
Wow. I'm just in awe of you artistic types who can go from a blank white surface to something like that. Stunning.
-
-
I don't have much on this blog yet, I just started it.
1. I started it on a night when I was really depressed and pissed off. I'm NOT always like that.
2. I am trying to make it an art blog, but it's turning into a whining blog.
3. I'm hoping putting up unfinished art work will help me get inspired to actually finish the pieces I've already started.

Cleaning fish makes one appreciate commercial fishermen. But nothing beats the taste of a fresh from the water to the pan fish dinner.

OK,
1. I don't just blog about politics, but often post about my artwork or random thoughts. ( identitycheck-anok.blogspot.com/2008/11/by-way-i-finished-that-goya.html )
2. I actually have a sense of humor, but don't blog about it very often. ( identitycheck-anok.blogspot.com/2008/05/fashionistas.html )
3. I apparently hold strange and different ideas when compared to typical Anarchists. I get a lot of hits for this post, and have caught some flak for it, too. ( identitycheck-anok.blogspot.com/2008/05/anarchist-parenting-why-discipline-... )
Oh, and I write REALLY long posts -
You also post a LOT on the discussions.
-
It tends to do that sometimes.
-
It's true, I do
-
And here I was all convinced you had your own production of Lord of the Flies goin down. I'm all disillusioned and stuff.
-
If I only had my own island......
-
-
@ Cheeseburger: Hi pot, meet kettle...:P
-
Are you saying I post excessively?
-
-
I think your cheesy deliciousness is taking over the world. I am awed and frightened.
-
I try my best.
-
-
1. it is art, without text.
2. i avoid sweeping generalisations about politics and economics in my images!.
3. i have just updated it, so that it can be browsed by keywords, such as Kate Moss, eyes, and photo-montage!

(Best not mention meat or you know who will pop in!) -
meat!
just trying to stir things up-
MEAT?!?! Who wants to eat it? Where? I think I need to dress up as some salad!!!
-
I thought that was MY suggestion anyway!
-
It was. I thought it was a very good idea. I stole it. Is that alright with you?
-
As long as there's bleu cheese involved, then that's fine.
-
STOP!
-
Salad time.
-
-
I have a nice pic of a raw bloody fish in my blog
and I'm going to EAT it! -
1) cocks in suits
2) broad, sweeping, stereotypical statements
3) it's Adequately Average!
Cheers,

3. Sometimes we try to be helpful
Ex. "TWILIGHT: Will my braces get caught in Edward Cullen's vampire fangs if we make out?"

You will find stories from my childhood and teen years. You will find out that I can be a serious guy with a hint of humor. You will scratch your head and ask yourself, "This guy is an ordained pastor"?

3 Things about my blog:
1. My first purpose for blogging was to share, inspire and help open people's creative doors that so often get shut.
2. Secondary it became a tool to help market and garner traffic to my website www.outsidethemargins.com
3. I like to try and be humorous along with sharing random thoughts and pictures about myself and family.

1. I have two-and-a-half year old boy/girl twins. Concern about their nutrition is the inspiration behind my blog on toddler nutrition. I want to share my knowledge and experiences with other parents.
2. I am not a doctor or nutrition expert. I have a doctoral degree in engineering. But I am trained to think critically about a problem.
3. I am a geek, but I try to make my posts interesting for everybody.
Here are a few posts I would like to showcase
