How to Go About Coblogging?

I think you should do whatever makes you most comfortable. What are you looking for? What kind of posts do you want the blogger to do? I think once you etch out your plans then I would go forth and just find someone who fits your blog and decide together how often you want them to blog. If that makes any sense :P

It does. I sort of want to do an application since I'm looking for 2 sections in particular - Gaming and Books. But I also want to look for someone who's interested IN coblogging, though for that I'd rather someone I know since I won't be going in blindly then.

I agree about finding a blogger here if you can't find someone you know.
@Sophia If an application is more suitable I say go for it since you're looking for two separate things.

Good thing about that (the not biting part)! I might do that, but I'm currently going to try on my own for awhile. Coblogging's sort of a last resort for me if I'm extremely busy. I'm only curious of any ideas in case. :3

Hmm... I might have to work on that then.

So, I would say do what you feel the most comfortable doing.


Fortunately I'm in the US... although that might change in the future. :p

I think I'll stick with choosing a few people as guest posters. The others might be on a waiting list instead... :p

I'd love to send out an application but how would I go about that? What do I ask?

Most people tend to ask the basics - Name, Country, Review Samples (or Writing Samples could work as well if they don't have a review), sometimes maybe someone will ask WHY you want to blog at a site. I did have to ask some people if they could handle two blogs as well (not easy as it seems!), so that might be a question you may ask after a person applies and you're interested in having them as a coblogger.
But as a few have already said, Melissa, go with who you're most comfortable with. In reality, I'm more comfortable with blogging with 2 of my real life friends (who will be joining soon) and thus speak more (heh, conspire more) with them while I rarely make a peep to my current coblogger aside from the occasional blogging related stuff.
EDIT: Social media is also found as well in an application. Twitter and Goodreads are the most common ones, but definitely Goodreads. I am, however, by no means an expert in coblogging since I started several months ago.
I'm sort of wondering how I should go about coblogging. Should I do an application, which would feel really weird because that's like asking a random stranger into my house... or should I do that and allow those that I'm interested in having as a possible coblogger guest post for a certain amount of time?
