About a Blog
Well hello there. Thanks for stopping by. Welcome to The BlogStalker. So here’s the deal with this blog…
I spend a lot of time reading blogs. Then I usually comment based on what I read. Most of the time it’s just me talking to myself, my wife, or my dog. Then I made some friends and they all read blogs too. So they usually got the stupid stuff that I said about blogs. Then about a month ago I started doing a weekly blog roundup on my other blog, where I basically just talked about what other bloggers were doing.
A few people seemed to like it, so I decided that I’d create a blog where that’s all I did. So that’s how we got here. Let’s take a tour of the blog and all it’s wonderful features. Here’s what we’ve got going on with the navigation:
The Stalker - That’s where I talk about myself. I promise it’s not too deep or preachy. I don’t have all the answers. I don’t even know the questions.
The Fam - This is where I talk about Kate and Gilbert. I have a feeling Kate will make me update this page frequently. She’ll say things like - “you need to update Gilbert’s hobbies.”
Free Shiz - This is a good one. If anyone ever gives me free stuff and I’ve got some to give away, I’ll talk about it here. Oh, and if you’re a blogger and you have some kind of contest or giveaway going on, this is where you can promote it. Good idea, right? Yeah, I thought so.
Blog Reviews - I have no idea what I’m going to do on this page. We’ll figure it out later.
Pictures - Kate won’t use our Picasa album, but I think she might look at/post pictures here. So there you go.
That’s my navigation. Here are the categories of posts that I’m going to have:
Weekly Roundup - That’s what I’ve been doing for awhile now. If you scroll down you’ll see some examples of that. I’ll try to do this one once a week. Otherwise it wouldn’t be a weekly roundup, would it?
Extended Comment - Here’s a new feature. Usually when I’m reading a blog, I want to comment. Usually the potential comment in my head is inappropriate, too long, or some kind of inside joke. So I usually hit the comments button, sometimes make it to the point of typing out the comment, but rarely ever hit submit. So I’ll post those extended comments here with a little bit of context. I don’t know how often I’ll do that. I’d like to do it daily but it’s more likely that it’ll happen a few times a week.
So there you go. That’s what we’ve got going on here. Thanks again for stopping by.

LOL - love the paragraph about Kate on “the fam” tab - I hope she doesn’t make you change it - it sounds like her and I would get along QUITE well.
I think you should review all types of blogs… not just food blogs. Like commenting on blogs that comment on celebrities. And so on….
Thanks Alli. I think it’ll stay as is.
Stephanie - I’m game for reviewing non food blogs. Email me some that you want me to look at.
love it! your pics need image alt tags btw..i know you’re into SEO and Google analytics and since thats my job i figured i’d give you a little tip haha.
Nate, you are hysterical! I love the idea for this blog
Extended Comment sounds like a really great feature. Very clever! Of course, I think everything you do is gold right now.
