I’ve finally been bothered to make a blog.
I’ve spent my entire EVE career reading blogs. Frankly, I’m pretty certain I spend more time reading blogs than I do playing the actual game. Don’t get me wrong, blowing the bloody bajeezus out of a virtual spaceship is fun and all.. But for me, reading about OTHER people blowing the bajeezus out of a virtual spaceship is better.
It occurs to me that the EVE Community is unique in its vast amount of blogging users (There’s a fricken site dedicated exclusively to blogging about EVE.). No other online game can boast that, I think. Even if a game comes close in the amount of blogs out there (There are quite a few WoW blogs), it can’t boast the blogger to player ratio that EVE has.
That said, there are some great stars out there in New Eden (If puns bother you, I don’t suggest you read my blog.) From the humble Rifter Drifter to the blogging God, Crazy Kinux, from the proverbial female bandit Mynxeeto loudout extraordinaire Kirith, Rambling Roc and Kadavr’s CDMs… All these huge names in the EVE Blogging Community leave me with one question in my mind…
Who am I to blog among them? I’m a nobody. A carebear gone feral who’s recently left high sec in search of bloodier pastures. I’ve dipped my toes into almost every aspect of the game but never really immersed myself into any of them, making me curious about everything and knowledgeable in nothing. It seems like the only thing I can blog about are my hopes and dreams in EVE, and my attempts at achieving those hopes and dreams.
And if that gets me at least one follower, I’m happy. If it gets me a mention in someone else’s blog, I’ll have to post even more. And if it gets me into the blogger’s big leagues, well… Let’s not dream too big. Heh.
Fly Safe, readers. It’s a big, bad ‘Verse out there.

I’ve been reading EVE blogs since before CK put together the blog pack. The initial people on the list were chosen because they were good writers, and that’s what made most of them so widely known. The only thing unique about any of them in that regard is that they can make a blog interesting to read. Most of them are not “innately famous”
Make a compelling blog, and soon enough, people will recognise your name
