I don’t have much of an answer to the question posed, as I’m still tryingto work it out myself, but so long as there’s someone out there that wants to read you, then you’re an expert in my opinion

Really fab post Rhys, just what I needed to help me get back into this crazy world of blogging, thanks.

Bloggings such a different and personal thing for everyone i don’t think experts exist. What defines a good blog? That surely depends on what you are blogging for and that also differs person to person. Are they experts on what they are writing about? Coz then they’re not expert bloggers, just on that topic. And the time thing – i could juggle a lot every day and never be an expert so i don’t time’s a factor.

Everyone’s an expert blogger for their blog, coz no1 could write their blog better.

Such a post is long overdue. Such candor is all too rare too! I think that it is always relative. The level of expertise can not be determined by the amount of money someone makes or does not. There are some excellent blogs that simply do not make money at all because they are not there to do so. They are up in blogsphere to serve a purpose which they do more than adequately. Yes, I think that if you can manage a reasonably active blog for about six months, you can call yourself a serious blogger, but an expert? One keeps learning all the time.

Well, you listed us all and then said ‘each one is lacking in their own way’ but failed to explain exactly which of us is lacking the element that prevents us from being an “expert”.

It was however, sarcasm.. I’m sure you’re familiar with the concept

What’s wrong with my writing / programming / design / photography / seo / marketing / charisma?!

I’m insulted Rhys, really insulted.

“So, I’m throwing it out to you: what makes a blogging expert?”

certainly not me lol!

Like you say if you have all those skills you mentioned above – then yeah you probably are an expert.

why should people analyse blogging so much. When someone asks a question: why do you blog? people are like money money money, fame fame fame – I just blog for fun! Fucked if I care if I’m famous lol Earning moneys nice but really all the money I earn goes straight back into paying for the sites hosting. That set up works quite nicely for me ta!

(plus I hate dealing with people who think their expert bloggers – because quite often, their talking bollocks!)
