I'm sure there are a few of you out there that blog, and possibly some who'd like to have a few more hits/followers (that'd be me 😉 ).
I have two blogs, work and personal. Let's see yours!
Work: http://vitaminccs.wordpress.com
Personal: http://kitcarruthers.wordpress.com/

It's only about my biking, not for people to read really, more of a diary to look back over the year for me, and for elderly relatives to keep up!
Well,
I started a blog with a view to dumping lots of thoughts out. To kickstart it, I posted a bunch of Doctor Who stuff I'd already written from when I went back to learn about the 'classic' shows. In the absence of other content it seems I now have a Doctor Who blog.
Start at the bottom and work up.

That's how mine more or less started - somewhere to store my own wee trip notes and ongoing thoughts that I could refer to myself and occasionally point others at. Just realised I've managed to keep it going (on and off) for over two years now. It could probably do with a wee tweak/refresh at some point.

Colin, I've been a reader of yours on and off for the last couple of years. Keep it going.
Not my blog, but done one of the younger Seadogs:

Quite good for music that is worth hearing but rarely heard.

A wee suggestion for yours if I may?
You need to move your strapline a little. I was sure it said
🙂Searching for the perfect troll.
Some nice biking blogs there! I've done f-all biking for years now.
Been doing one about my experience with an Insulin Pump. Really need to do a 'post Christmas' update

GWS, round up J-Hatch and Downie, then head up here for a weekend of dicking around in the woods.

Just biking stuff really. Started it last year, and I quite enjoy having somewhere to put odd thoughts about rides and whatnot. It's satisfying to look back at what I did later on, even if no-one else reads it.
This version seems to have been going 5 years! Really minority interest though, unless you ride bikes with me I suppose.
It started about 4-5 years before this version with a website as a way of keeping people up to date with Le Mans trips & sharing photos

My ride down the west coast of America going from Vancouver to the Mexico order. Been on here before though so I guess most people who want to read my ramblings will of read it.
Mines quite dull although I do seem to get people from all over the world reading it.

Needs an update and the most recent ones have been a bit dull. Apart from that's its a riveting read!
Started out writing stuff but that seemed a bit narcissistic, so now just a photo blog

Loving your work. Let me know if you need a guest blogger 😆
GWS, round up J-Hatch and Downie, then head up here for a weekend of dicking around in the woods.
I'll have a word, like.
Mine - basically diet and racing related:

Some great reads there, helping me through the "working" day nicely.
Am I the only one that struggles with white writing on black backgrounds though?

I actually prefer white text on a dark background - especially on mobile devices.
Only 1 (quite long) post on my blog:
http://irbandito.wordpress.com/2013/08/13/lel-2013/
maybe I'll write more another time...
Edit - just read it again. What was I thinking?!!
http://surroundedbyhills.blogspot.co.uk/
[i]Surrounded by not a lot of content[/i], curiously I have ridden more in the last 3 months than the last two years probably! but have written jog all about it!
EDIT +1 for scotroutes
Mine is mostly training and road racing related. http://pescetarianrevolutions.wordpress.com
schmiken - good blog, liek the energy bar recipe. Your sponsored by beet it? Did you approach them or vice versa?
Thanks, took a little bit of experimenting but got there in the end.
Re BeetIt, I'm sponsored by them in return for website links and a jersey logo. I approached them with cap in hand 😉
Mine's all about cycling but I've been tardy of late and not written much, [url= http://phased.co.uk/ ]linky[/url]
[url= http://coastkid.blogspot.co.uk/ ]coastrider[/url]
Been going 6 years now..
A lot of East Lothian coastal cycling,so some fatbike stuff, but also riding regular trails and singletrack, and other related stuff inc local history, old roads, WW2 stuff, art, skys, scenery etc... plenty pics and waffle 😆
Usually updated twice a week, seems to average 750-1000 views daily, too many folks with too much spare time! 
DavidB - Enjoyed the Tommy Goodwin stuff - phenomenal!
A really interesting variety of blogs.
bencooper, Love your urbex stuff, just brilliant!!
Will throw my neglected blog into the mix...

My blog on racing and related things. I race Enduro, as well as some XC and DH. http://peterlloydmtb.blogspot.co.uk
Mostly surf related but some biking stuff and snowboarding stuff too. Started as a place to use photos from my toy cameras. Met friends worldwide from it and occasionally even makes me a bit of cash now

Something me and my uni mates mess about with, food, cocktails and music..
Mine's all about bikes. And a little bit of running if you search hard enough.

Just out of interest, how many hits are people getting? A typical month for me would be 800-1,000, my best ever was 1,700ish in October last year when I put the World Champs race report up. Is this number good/bad or fairly average?
Rarely updated "it's all about Me"

More often updated "it's all about my Boy"

Hits 3.3K last month on my boys blog. I think it got 5K last January.
Cheers for the inspiration. Purely for my own satisfaction in re-living my rides etc, I've decided to publish my own blog
[url= http://breconbeast.blogspot.co.uk ]Taming the Beast[/url] about my re-ignited passion for mtbing.
It is going to take me a while to transfer and edit all the stuff I've written elsewhere so if you like it, please check back regularly.
I get around 4-6k hits a month. A good way to generate traffic is to exchange spots on a blog roll with other similar sites
