| Why do you STAR blogs? |
|
| |
I am sure that everyone likes to get a star on their blogs... after all, it is a form of a compliment that what you have written is worthy of consideration or better said, "STARdom."
I am just curious why you give stars to folks. So, why do you?
As for me, I am slowly developing my own "criteria" that I use as a guide... here are some of my reason(s) for starring someone...
1. Well written. Clear, concise, and challenging.
2. I may not agree but you made me rethink my assumptions.
3. Uplifting.
4. Cute and pithy!
5. Doctrinal position well stated (though one may not agree)
6. Catchy
7. My wife wrote it!!!
Ok... so , why do you star?

P.S. How about a star? LOLOLOLOL |

I would say I star a blog because it has made me think, smile, understand something, brightened my day, lifted me up
- Jade PS you get a star because you made me think about why I star blogs *grin* |

| Your best reason is #7. lol lol
Ok, seriously... I starred blogs that shows sincerity, intention, passion, knowledge in the subject, written by a kid, and those that make me laugh, cry, and/or make me praise God.
I will never star a blog that in order to make a point put other people's opinion down in a disrespectful fashion.
And yes... I will star your blog ;-) |

Here's my list:
1.) It was short enough to read (Don't normally star the ones I can't finish.) Unless....
2.) It was posted by a friend, who I know always has a good word.
3.) I agree with it for the most part.
4.) Just to bless someone! After all, they're free!
And that's basically it. If I read a post, it'll almost always get a star. Unless....
1.) The author is arrogant in his/her presentation.
2.) I think a post was created for the sole purpose of getting stars.
And since you fall into the first list.... A star para me amigo! |

My main reason is Sue's #4 above. I mean, they're free for Pete's sake, why not give em away if you know they'll make people feel good? Why bust all conscientious about whether a blog is deserving or meritorious, when it's just a star after all? Starring is a little thing, like smiling.
That said, I have noticed some amazingly well written blogs, making fantastic spiritual points, very beneficial and informative to read, yet having received very few stars (recognition). Often this is b/c the author hasn't gone out and "mingled with the crowd", or lacks popularity. On the other hand, I've seen people post fairly inane content that has received significant starrage, seemingly due their popularity. Some get frustrated by this.
I would also add to Sue's first list...
5.) I star any blog about blogging, or starring, or MyChurch. lol |

Mike,
I too find the "starring" of various blogs intriguing... that is why I just shared my "criteria" as a means to figuring out why some blogs outweigh others in stars; however, other blogs go unnoticed but do outweigh others in substance.
Thanks for input!

Hmmm 1,3,4 (and 7 is good)
I like to encourage. If I don't agree or I think it is bad, I wont bother leaving comment at all, much less a star. If I believe a writing is missing a scripture I will add that to a comment. I don't get a chance to read a lot here, but I wait for the chance to leave a star every day.

| I pretty much give a star whenever I can. Sometimes, it is worth a comment rather than a star. For me I would much rather have a comment to let me know what you thought and that you were there than a star. If I don't give a star is because it something rubbed me wrong or they didn't put much thought our effort into it. Kind of like, "If you can't say something nice, don't say it at all." |

The www web uses towers to relay communication. The www web is allowing us all to have one voice within many languages. When we star anything it enables a certain language to be heard as "higher" to attract even more builders to it's self. Think of stars as bricks.
Now lets build a tower that touches God.

Blogs should Build Faith, & confidence, Build the Members, Builds His Church, Builds His Kingdom.
Blogs contents should be Provoking to Make one Think as to Being a Better Student of the Word,
a Better Disciple of Jesus & His Teachings & The Apostles Teachings.
Blogs should Create these Dialogs that lack in Church Fellowship.
Blogs should be Compelling to Get Others Much more involved in too Many areas to even mention.
These Type of Blogs I would Star or stop to comment. |

| I star to let the reader know I read the blog and appreciate the time they took to write it, even though I don't always agree with the content! The only time I won't star a blog is if it is outright heresy!!! |
