I am really into papercraft right now. Because I don't leave my house, so I have decided to make little friends to worship me at my altar. Yeah, I have an altar. It's mainly used just for religious holidays, but that's whatever day I want - in my new self based religion, so now it gets used to pile all my junk mail on. Try it out at cubeecraft.com They have a really good blog as well. OOOOOOOOOooooooh, also? I am really into papercraft right now.

This is not that case of yours. It is scattered here and there with personal journal entries, journalistic essays, and pockets of your photographic work. If you are continually doing all three of these things you have two routes; 1) Focus in on one of these areas so as there is a main topic of discussion that your audience may expect updates from you on a regular basis, and it eliminates the doubt in your mind on what to do with the site on a monthly basis. If you aren't such a paranoid dick who thinks that we were to steal all your intellect by posting new areas you are developing in photojournalism (ha! get it? developing, photographs? funny, hahaha.) why don't you give us updates into what you are doing with it these days, by posting about what you are doing, how you are doing it, filters, plug-ins, blablabla. or 2) Make a schedule for events in the month for you to post certain topic ideas on certain days. Photoshop fridays, just like our friends at Somethingaweful.com, Pissy-ant emo bullshit diary entry Saturdays like those written by whatever dipshit pansy brickhead that is running anyone of the 500 Twight web-rings (my most newest, funniest thing to make fun. Thank you twilight!) Hell, even taco tuesdays, where you go around the city looking for the best tacoria stands and rate them on a scale of 1 to Awesome (and the exceedingly rare gold standard of Awesome plus a BJ) Cuz I noez you hav to haz some bangn tacos in Berlin! Most successful blogs that I frequent follow either of these two architypes, as if you just post whatever the hell you feel like, you will get bored as the initial fun runs out, and you don't have a structure to build up on. That's my thought for the day at least. Oh, that and Never play Bioshock at 2a.m. in an empty house as YOU WILL SHIT YOUR PANTS... REPEATEDLY.

I´ve also been torn about blogging. Where have you read about blog theory? Any recommendations?

That area would deal with discursive transformations and thresholds and the like. That needs some time. I am still not done with the book yet. Thanks for the spell check! Diagramming complex philo-thought isn't so hard, but spelling, damn. The “fuzzy to the left” does need work. That area would deal with discursive transformations and thresholds and the like.
