What Is Your Favorite Kind Of Blog to Read and Frequent And Why?

I frequent several different types of blogs, and I know we all have different tastes in content, but I was curious--what is your favorite type of blog to visit or blog content to explore? Feel free to mention more than one type of content. Personally, for example, I like literary blogs, cooking blogs, and blogs about science--I could get more specific, but hopefully, this gets us started on this thread.

Well, considering the fact that I am totally addicted to Cinema any sub-niche that is associated with this world has my attention almost immediately. Those are the types of blogs that I visit religiously because it is in them that I always feel very at ease.

I am with you on this one. I definitely love going to the movies, and I do so every chance I get. I also like blogs about series that I can stream, such as Stranger Things and Preacher. It's cool to get perspectives from others, regarding cinema, as long as you can avoid spoiler alerts. I recently read one which didn't have a spoiler warning, and it ruined Alien: Covenant for me to an extent. Still, I have learned a lot about movies from these types of blogs, and I always enjoy them, for the most part.

What I find most interesting in following the blogs about cinema is precisely the different perceptions of people about what I'm watching. I like to be making comparisons about the points of view as well as perceiving aspects that I hadn't seen previously.

I like blogs about life, relationships, family and women. I like things that inspire me and I find the natural aspect of life to be inspiring. I like reading other people's life experiences so I can learn and understand about my current situation. I like blogs that give women tips on how to dress, shop, raise children, go through something and how to live gracefully.

I think that this is very interesting, and you seem like you would be a natural-born student of sociology. I also like blogs like this, to an extent, unless they get too "preachy" about how I am supposed to live my life or about how people that I know should be behaving, etc. Reading about the life experience's of others can most definitely be inspiring; I agree. My girlfriend loves the same types of blogs that you do as well, and she often gets tons of ideas regarding makeup, fashion, and hairstyles from such places. I am a bit wary about taking relationship advice from blogs, but I am still curious about how others handle similar life situations which I have been in before.

Sociology? You have given me an idea though I never thought of it. For example, my current favorite blog is starlight baby blog. I learn new things from posts there and I will definitely depend on advices there when I need it.

I would also not follow relationship advice since every relationship is different.

We both have the same preference of blogs to always visit. I would also like to add baby blogs, and the reason why I love making use of these kinds of blogs is because of the priceless information and education available in contents on the platform. How to deal with life, understanding in relationships, baby caring and parenting etc. All these are always going to make me stick with such blogs for the unforeseeable future.

It would probably have to be gaming blogs, to be honest. I read them quite frequently because gaming is something I am really quite passionate about because of how much I love to game. Plus I actually own a gaming site/blog so it helps to keep up with the latest news which I can then share with the users of my site to ensure they also known and are up to date with everything happening in the gaming world.

DarthHazard,
I once frequented these gaming blogs myself, but my visits tapered off as I had to slowly taper off my gaming habits. I was a bit of a gaming addict for a while, actually, so I needed to really discipline myself--especially since I work from home. I can tell you this, as I am sure you know--if you take a break from gaming for five minutes, it's like getting five years behind, right? Anyway, I hope your gaming site/blog is going well--if only I had time to game instead of just trying to survive the "game of life" itself lately!

Yeah, gaming can be quite addictive especially if you can't control yourself. Luckily, I'm not addicted that much which means I can stay away from gaming if I wanted to. I do agree with what you said, if you don't play games for a little while, it will actually feel like you haven't played forever which is awful haha. Thank you for the kind words although I have actually stopped with the site and decided to sell it as I wanted to go down a different route.

Nice. I also read gaming or eSports blogs, and I even video blogs if there's available. I am so much interested in games since I am a video game player. Aside from gaming, I read blogs and aside gaming blogs I also read some political blogs because I am into political issues too. Haha.

Just curious, but what is your favorite movie blog, especially in terms of horror? Like you, I am really into horror films, and I especially like the more psychological thriller types of horror films. I love a good story, and I like horror films that could easily work as a good short story or novel. Cinema blogs and sites are a lot of fun to frequent. I don't frequent health blogs, either, as I saw you mentioned below. I do visit freelance websites a lot, so, basically, you and I have a lot of similar tastes.

My favorite horror blogs are broken down into different levels. In terms of indie horror blogs I like iHorror, bleeding critic, horrorfreak news, emerald gore society and alienbee. In terms of more corporate sites I like HorrorMovies.ca (Canadian) and Bloody Disgusting (US). For mostly general cinema news I visit Variety, THR (The hollywood reporter) and ComingSoon.net.

I wouldn't really consider shopping sites as blogs because they are two different things. Shopping sites are actual websites where you can buy items unless you mean blogs that review different products when you talk about "shopping sites".

If I am to pick which one I prefer I will choose cooking blogs over all though am a junk lover, I hardly cook but when I do it must be perfect especially formulating your own
food recipes.

I normally avoid health blogs unless I am legitimately sick or ill and need a home remedy or something. But like 6 years ago I had a weird throat issue that I needed to google for info and a remedy. Health blogs came in handy then.

Normally I am not really a fan of reading health blogs because I'm not too interested aside from a few specific topics and a lot of the time I just get paranoid about the potential ailments and types of foods and activities I should be avoiding. However, I do agree that reading this topic is way more useful than what I actually read frequently which is just entertainment news.

I love health blogs too, they keep me informed about the everyday humanity health challenges, they always give vivid description about the symptoms/treatment / what to expect from the sick patient. Sometimes with the way I draft a proper analysis of someones ill health, they call me 'Doctor' I carry myself with so much pride, they never know that it is just health blogs I read lol.

I enjoy reading health and fashion blogs and I have to admit that I have learned many things from those blogs. Health blogs are very popular nowadays. People are continuously looking for ways to keep themselves fit. Moreover, there are many natural remedies which are available on those blogs which may help you to cure minor ailments at home.

I'm actually very into health blogs myself. I think it is important to stay up to date with all the latest health facts, and one of the best ways to do so is through reading the works of passionate bloggers. It can be a bit of a slippery slope though. A lot of blogs can be useful when trying to stay up to date with health and fitness, but many of them also try to sell their own agendas and push many useless health trends just to remain popular and relevant.

I also read health blogs but I am more interested in blogs for earning online money. I am unemployed for almost three months so I am in need of money. I find ways to earn money on the internet so I usually search for blogs on how to earn online money. I am just trying all the suggested sites in blogs but unfortunately others have some investment needed and I don't like investing online.

I don't really have any specific topic I like coming back to, I guess. As long as the articles are well written and they are laid out in such a way that is attractive to me, then I will naturally gravitate to them. I would say that a better measure for me is the style of writing, as I usually find dry sense of humor and sarcastic writing to be most appealing, and also even if the article is just straightforward then I prefer it to be brief and concise most of the time or at least well structured.

I am also a big fan of humorous blogs too. Life is tough, and being able to have a good laugh or to find something silly or uplifting at times is a must. Sometimes, I can can take myself a bit too seriously, and so can some of the bloggers I know, so it is good to switch things up a bit with funny memes, content, videos, vlogs, or channels. I have to be careful when I look at these though because I can totally lose track of time and watch these for hours.

I also just read whatever I'm in the mood for. There was a time when my interests were a lot more limited so I kept reading from the same blogs or the same types or topics of blogs but these days my interests have diversified a bit and I've also fallen out of love of many other topics I used to hold dear so these days I just seek out whatever I feel like on that day. This might also be because it's way easier to do this now since there's a lot more content for all topics and also searching for them has become so much easier.

I like when I find a really cool blog by accident--when I am surfing the web, every now and then I will come across a blog that I have never heard of or by chance, and the next thing I know, I am really totally enjoying the content! If the blog is really good, this is almost like finding a lost treasure or something. It seems like there are 100;s of blogs out there about every subject, so I think there is something out there for everyone, I am sure.

True! But I find that variety can also be a con. I'm somewhat overwhelmed by all the great content in the web. Sometimes I wish I could just have it be simplified. I guess that's the price for having so many talented content creators.

I LOVE to read blogs about Linux, Computers, Servers, and forum management. Because it has always been a hope of mine to have a very successful website and every time I had something good going my personal finances killed it off. This time I am filled with knowledge and I can manage my own server and save a ton of money.

P.S. I was running a VPS until I learned about Semi-Dedicated hosting is is more or less like a VPS. Its a really big hosting account that only has around 50 people on the server.

I read all sorts of blogs but my favorite genre by far would have to be the technology related ones. It can be anything from the computers, newer gadgets, new tips and tricks, etc. I just find that the most fun to read because I also learn new things. It's sort of educational yet entertaining which is hard to come by.

Besides that, I also quite enjoy certain funny or cooking blogs. But I have very specific sense of humor that is more on the sarcastic/ironic side.

I think that if I were more tech-savvy that I could really get into reading such blogs; however, my brain tends to turn into a bag of pretzels when I try to digest a lot of the vocabulary and tech-speech at these blogs, so I end up having to go and do my homework in order to figure out what in the heck is going on or being discussed. I love funny blogs to, like you, and I like cooking blogs so much that, as you know, I think, I even created a forum thread about them, lol.

These days I pretty much just watch videos to get whatever information I want but for technology I still like going to blogs as a supplement because there you could look at charts and tables and you can study them and compare them for a long time which is something you don't get to do just watching videos. I think it's one of the topics where I like reading as well as watching videos instead of just preferring to watch.

Baburra,
I like your post here, and I think you are really referring to our different preferences in how we like to acquire information. I like static data, like charts and hard numbers, and I also like well-written prose which explains or interprets the data further. I also indulge in watching videos related to the written subject matter which I peruse or encounter too. Having the written content is good because, like you said, you can study it as it just "sits" there--that's a bit different than trying to keep pace with videos and having to pause them at times and re-watch portions of them in order to digest their content.

What I do love to read are the blogs that are about travel and food. I love to read all the things about a certain destination that the blogger experienced especially with all of the native cuisines that are so good to know that represents other cultures by their delicious dishes. It feels like I've also been there whenever I read those kinds of blogs and it feels so great. Even I haven't go to that place, at least I know lots of things about that place so when the time comes, I know what to do.

I used to frequent a lot of travel blogs myself as well. Actually, I think that, at one point, I quit looking at them so much because I got so jealous of how broke I was and how I could not travel wherever I like because I am so broke! I did live vicariously, like you, through these blogs, though, and I have learned a lot about foreign cultures and foreign cuisine because of travel blogs, especially the more thoughtful and well-written ones.

I frequently visit cooking blogs too, that's how I learnt how to cook because I never had the paitence to watch my mom do it, back then I considered cooking very stressful to do but ever since my first encounter with cooking blogs that notion changed.

I love going through parenthood blogs too, maybe because I am going to be a mother someday and maybe because I fancy kids and happy homes, parenthood blogs gives you so much insight about kids, pregnancies, family lifestyles and so many more I won't be forced to learn them the difficult way when I become one.

I also love food blogs and blogs about home that includes cooking and gardening. It's like seeing your home, that's my feeling when I read about pets inside the house or cooking the favorite dish. I also love those DIY blogs about homes that I know do the work of attaching a picture frame on the wall and assembling the new electric fan. However, sometimes I find such DIY blogs that are difficult to understand.

I honestly never cared much for food blogs, but something in me has changed recently. Perhaps it's just me getting older, but I've taken a greater interest in cooking, and food blogs have helped a lot in fueling the fire for my newfound hobby.

I used to cook just to get things out of the way and eat. I would choose instant foods over homemade stuff because it was quicker and easier. But trying to be health conscious, I started throwing out instant foods and learning how to cook their homemade versions. Thanks to many bloggers and their tried and tested recipes, I've had a lot of success.

Wow this is a hard one, because I like to check on different topics. For sure music and movies are a must. Also, health and traveling blogs. But traveling will be a 100% sure topic. If I could do anything day by day would be traveling. I love to see new places, taste new flavors, learn new languages, and obviously make new friends. Not to mention I laugh a lot, when I remember every time I did something wrong, or say something weird, when I'm in another country. Traveling is what I'm going to take with me in time, things doesn't matter, what really matter is the experience.

It seems that you and I also have very similar tastes! I would love to be a world traveler. I have had the opportunity to travel a good bit, but I have never really written any blogs about it. The experiences I have had have definitely made it into my poetry, and I am sure that traveling changed me overall, and thus changed my writing in general. I do enjoy, like you, reading the traveler blogs of others, and I find these writings to be pretty fascinating and informative. If only I had the wallet to travel the world like this!

I think that, for me personally, I do not frequent technology blogs because of some sort of insecurity or un-easiness I have towards them because I feel so non tech-savvy. Ironically, though, frequenting tech blogs would most likely help me to inform myself and therefore alleviate this issue, I would assume. My relationship to technology is so function-based, and so I do not usually go for looking up information about any extras or fancy apps or gadgets. I am a simpleton and minimalist when it comes to this, I think.

But if you feel the stress of finding the right cooking blog on Google is much, you could go on YouTube and check it out as it has helped me out also, trust me when you visit this cooking blogs to learn you become a good Chef that's if you follow their guidelines well.

I haven't thought about mystery blogs before, for some reason, but I am a big fan of the genre--could you suggest some of those blogs for me? What are some good ones? I could see how that could be a successful blog because you could set it up having each blog entry end on a cliffhanger to keep the readers always coming back. I would think that if you could hook the audience with the crime or murder at the first blog, then they would keep coming back until the mystery was solved in the following blogs, right?
