    I occasionally read a blog written by an English guy, who emigrated to Australia. He writes about what Britain was like then, and what Britain is like now, from an outsiders point of view based on the media. That's not all he writes about, sometimes it's about daily life. The guy is 87 years old, and blogs like there's no tomorrow - not being crude, just at that age, well, there really might not be.

    I can't remember the last time I read a blog about something relatively half-witted written by a teenager, just the same old crap, over and over. There are the odd few young bloggers, it's the ones that can make you re-visit or read more than two single posts that will succeed. In saying that, IMO, all these success stories you hear about young boys and girls blogging and making $XX,XXX a day on Adsense - there blogs are just full of useless teenage angst-ridden bollocks that I for one wouldn't consider reading past the first sentence.

    Each to their own, I suppose.

    So it's either a college-educated man writing very poor posts and exploiting his child on the internet, or it's a child writing very poor posts and exploiting the internet. Either scenario is rather "bleh".
