I've long wondered why non-bloggers don't take better advanatage of weblogs' comment sections as pseudoblogs of their own (e.g., "I heard the funniest joke today. I posted it here. Check it out and feel free to add your thoughts"). Some indulgence, of course, would be required for this to work.
This sort of happens on Bill Quick's site in his "OT and General Interest" posts.
Well, today, while reading Bloviating Inanities, it happened in this post.
So here's a thought: How about another blogger that lives and exists in your comments section? Like a Charlie Mccarthy type thing. Like a ventriloquist thingy? I don't know what I'm thinking- I should be writing this stuff over at my own blog...I could have something here. Here's one on the house since I'm rolling again:Q. What's brown, and sounds like a bell?
A. Dung!
See, a guy who lives your comments. You heard it here first. On Bill's blog...written by Paul. Who lives in the comments section. Like an unwanted child.
Hey, it's Paul from Sanity's Edge.
For the rest of the day I will be blogging exclusively in the comments section of Bloviating Inanities, specifically, here.
I hadn't anticipated someone with his own weblog comment-squatting, but this was surely a lack of imagination on my part.
Alas, it didn't last.
