5
I started my blog back in 2009 because every Internet business and marketing seminar I watched at the time told me I had to. I had been trying to get a business started selling dating and life advice and was struggling.

I don’t have time to write a mom blog, but I’m not against it. I think it’s great when women talk about things. I’m all about female empowerment. There’s a lot of lonely, lost moms out there. Moms need to be encouraged to tell the truth. There’s a lot of glamour mommy stuff. It’s OK to get real.
Kelly Cutrone

11
Humanity is a failed experiment, but I think I’m God and I’d like to start over. I don’t want to die, I just want everyone else to. I certainly would not be lonely.

12

27
I will not let my sales figures dictate what I say on the blog, because the blog is what I want to say.

52

Ben Brantley
76
Just because you have a blog doesn’t mean that you should, like, lie for no reason.
Sky Ferreira
77
In many ways, our marriage is anything but traditional. When I started my blog in 2006, Ladd was the only one that really understood what I was doing, probably before I even understood what I was doing. He wasn’t tech-savvy, but he just got it and was totally on board with it.

89
My fans don’t feel like I hold anything back from them. They know whatever I’m going through now, they’ll hear about it on a record someday. They’ll hear the real story. There’s a little bit of lag time. It’s not as instant as going on a gossip blog. But it’s much more accurate.
90
I’m terrible at posting regularly; I don’t deserve the blog success!

It’s interesting with my blog, because it feels to me less like a blog and more like a forum, because my readers are so funny and leave hysterical comments. And I’m not being humble when I say that very often, the comments are so much better than the post originally was.
Jenny Lawson
93
Sometimes, reading a blog, which I do infrequently, I see that generations of Americans have been wilfully crippled, and can no longer spell or write a sentence.

Max von Essen
95
By taking the time to learn how to blog properly, you’ll be doing your business an incredible favor, as you will be able to drive a lot of business to your website for your blog.
96
Too often black people are confronted with an assumption that there is only one way to be black, and that anyone who doesn’t conform is a ‘coconut‘ an ‘Uncle Tom’ (or as Ms Dent Coad stated in her blog, a ‘token‘).

97
I haven‘t heard of any cases of anti-American blog posts being censored or bloggers encountering consequences for anti-American speech on the web in China.
98
Some people have a blog that’s, like, ‘Today I brushed my teeth.’ Well, who cares? Who cares that you brushed your teeth. Okay – you brushed your teeth! That’s so massively egocentric, it’s just ridiculous.

When I did stand-up at U.C.B., and I had a blog for a couple of years that started my writing career, ‘Totally Confident and Completely Insecure,’ it was the same kind of self-deprecating humor and stories about being out in L.A. and being treated like a loser at a hair salon because you are not famous.
106
I have been writing my blog for several years. Whenever I have written about pertinent subjects, no one has supported them. For instance, the stray dog menace. I cycle in the morning every day, and I am still scared of stray dog attacks.
107
People assume that because I’m a girl and my blog is hot pink that my readership is 90% women, but it’s not. It’s probably only about 65%. When I do tours, it’s pretty much the same thing: it’s about one-third guys.
Jenny Lawson
108
For some, Into The Gloss is just a blog, and that’s cool. For us, it’s the connective tissue between us and you, and that has paved the way for the creation of a very different kind of beauty brand: Glossier.
109
I got my first trademark in 2005: ‘EcoGeek.’ It was the name of a blog that had become my job. I had a dream of turning it into a big business. After spending a huge amount of time and money attempting to ‘protect‘ that trademark, I let it lapse. It was still 2005.

112
In 1998, I started a blog, something I could control very easily and update at my own whim.

Robert Mankoff

When I started my blog, I wanted it to be like my house – my own little place that anyone could come to.
118
Speaking of Twitter, I don’t even know if I composed a blog entry in 2009, as I was too busy parceling my every thought into cute 140-character sound bites. I used to only worry about being pithy for a living; now some of my best lines are wasted on a free app!
119

121
Writing a blog that is free to read on the internet is one thing, but taking up physical space in the world with a product that costs money ups the ante, so the quality has to be at a high enough level for that.
122
I don’t have a particular go-to political blog.
Justin Amash
123

I co-founded ‘bOING bOING’ magazine and the ‘Boing Boing Blog’ and was an editor at ‘Wired‘ from 1993-1998.
125
I think my blog is fairly circumspect and elliptical. I’ve written personal essays, but they are short and to the point: in and out, and that’s that.
