What in the name of blogging is MyBlogLog?

MyBlogLog is a social networking community for bloggers. You create a profile, add your site(s) which then have their own communities, add the special widget to your site’s sidebar and then hey presto, you’re in!

Why would I want to do that?

Because most bloggers do it, and you don’t want to be left out, do you?

• It helps you keep track of who is visiting your site, and because of the avatars you can often put faces to the names.
• You can see who has joined your site’s community and added you as a contact.
• Your profile and community may well attract new visitors.
• You can join other blog communities and find contacts who run similar sites.
• You can email/spam people who have joined your community with site updates, any competitions you have running etc.

What are the low points of MyBlogLog?

• More and more people are using graphics as their avatars, from Picachu to lettering. Some people’s avatars look like Nick Nolte’s mugshot. And those hot chick avatars? Mirage.
• More and more people are signing up with mysterious names like ‘Oog’ and ‘Site Directory’.
• Most of the comments left on your profile/community page say: “Check out my blog!”
• Sometimes you want to visit a blog anonymously, but BAM! There you are in their MyBlogLog widget.
