Here is the main theme of a blog post recently read at another site.

The old ways of blogging are slowly dying out. Community, participation, and quality, are all words that need to be at the front of your thinking. Ask yourself as you write a post whether you actually think it makes a good read, or whether you are only writing it on the off chance that it ends up better than the postings of other bloggers. In the massive sea of noise that is the blogosphere, will people remember what you write and come back for more, or will they simply forget you and quickly move on?

This could be food for thought.
