Bella DePaulo, a blogger for both Psychology Today and the Huffington Post has a nice blog entry today devoted to the eight things she loves about blogging, and the three things she does not.

I’m a huge fan too, Bella! In fact, when I have periods of time where posting is not an option, I find myself suffering from Blogging Withdrawal.

We’ve spoken about this before, but since it’s a light and fluffy Friday, why not take the time to share your favorite thing about blogging AND your least favorite thing below.

It was bound to happen, ads hitting the RSS feeds. It’s not even anything even remotely new, popular services such as Feedburner (pre-Google) offered advertising solutions for your feed, and does now too, thanks to Adsense. Other players in the feed sphere did it too, and don’t forget the publishers themselves – adding something at the end of the RSS feed isn’t even all that hard. And I’m not even mentioning the fact that if you put an ad in your blog post, it’ll go right along in your feed.

We saw this coming, especially with the feature we did on the new b5media back in February. Mashing lots of blogs together and moving to WordPress MU, it all smelled forum integration with bbPress, and Facebook-ish social networking with BuddyPress from the start.

The story of a woman who blogged about the pregnancy and birth of her terminally ill baby, later for it to be discovered that the whole story was a fabrication, broke last week in the Chicago Tribune.

A naturally emotive subject, it attracted a huge number of visitors who sent messages and gifts to the woman who identified herself as either “B” or “April’s Mom”.

Her blog was linked to by high-profile parenting blogs and, apparently, advertisers were also looking at getting involved on the site.

The baby was actually a lifelike doll, which immediately raised the suspicion of loyal blog-followers.

The media can be a bloggers’ friend or foe. In the case of detective constable Richard Horton of Lancashire, England – it’s the latter.

The High Court has ruled that a national newspaper was entitled to reveal the real name of the one-time anonymous blogger.

Justice Eady ruled that “blogging is essentially a public rather than a private activity,” meaning that there should be no expectation that anonymity is protected under any law.

The award-winning blog in question, Night Jack, is no longer available. Though there are rumblings that a book is in the works.
