Do you follow any blogs that are a little different from the usual "online diary" style of blog?

Please share the links!

I'm looking for inspiration for a new project... TIA!

There's cakewrecks.com but be warned it can be pretty risque at times. I followed it when it was practically new and it was a lot more family friendly back then. Funnier too. But if you're looking for a funny blog to read, you could always go read that starting from the old posts or the "most popular" list in the sidebar.

Then there was this http://nokoshermeat.wordpress.com/ which was off to a pretty awesome start but doesn't see nearly enough action... I just keep it on my feed reader so that if they ever do anything I will get notified but I'm not holding my breath.

I love this one
http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com
I think she stopped writing but she is soooo funny. There is some offensive language here and there though...
Please tell me what you think!

I love this one, too! She hasn't posted anything new in a while because she's working on a book. I'm happy for her that she has that opportunity, but I do miss her posts... Sad

T&P, I can't think of any blogs offhand that I read, but if I stumble upon any I'll let you know!

Thank you very much, ladies!

I'm under pressure (friendly pressure!) from a friend who often shops at Amazon through my http://HelpEllen.com link, to update my blog regularly. However, I don't want to do that unless I can think of an "across the board theme" for lots of blog posts that would be interesting/ wacky/ zany/ funny. So I'm looking for inspiration!

Good luck! I also have a hard time updating regularly, but it's not for lack of ideas, just for lack of time/commitment... also my theme, while it's something I care and know enough about to keep writing, is far from unique so I don't feel as motivated to keep it coming. But I do have plans to...

I laughed so hard while reading this blog in bed the other night that I had to laugh into my blanket so that I wouldn't wake up DH!

Thanks for that link! Please keep these suggestions coming!

CakeWrecks was also quite hysterical!

TIA!

That is one of my favorite blogs. I especially enjoyed and agreed with her more accurate pain scale for hospitals. LOL

Do you think her drawings are the secret to her success? Could a blog be just as funny with just text?

I think the drawings complement her writing style. But I think her writing could stand alone as well.

I almost made the ALOT my avatar.

http://crappypictures.com/ is a great parenting/mommy blog. It is very light and eerily realistic.

I have found myself laughing out loud more than once and she has bi-weekly updates.
