 Topic: Blogging/Blogs
Posted: 11 June 2008 at 2:26pm |
Just wondering who on here regularly blogs?
I read Ginger and Nikki's everyday (when they update!)  , but are there others on here I am missing?
Also, do you read other blogs?
I read Dooce, So Close (Tertia) and Snickollet each day. What / Who do you read?
What do you think makes a good blog and what keeps you coming back?
Do you think 'bloggers' are weird - like people who 'publish' their personal diaries? Or do you think they are brave - putting things out there that should be spoken about?
This topic fascinates me; what's your take on this new phenomenon? What would you NEVER blog about?

I use to. I did a pregnancy blog and made sure that was always updated. I'll probably do it again next time too. I've actually thought of printing out my preggers blog so I've got a hard copy I'll keep.
I use to have a daily blog where I just wrote about whatever, random stuff but now I just can't be bothered with it.

Ooo a reader!
Sorry I haven't been updating as regularly lately. Finding the work/blog/life/craft balance a bit difficult to maintain at the moment. he.
I read all the links in my sidebar. My faves are Sarah Bean, Dooce, Heart Felt, Tiny Happy, The Handmirror, Anemone... to name a few. Sorry... got carried away!
Oops, forgot to answer the other questions.
Good blog: humour, crafty inspiration, people being down-to-earth.
Do I think bloggers are weird?
Yes. Terribly. But I also think that it is people striving to be part of a community... especially the crafty scene. And once you start reading blogs it is difficult not to get caught up in the sharing. You sort of forget there are people who read that don't necessarily comment. hehe
What would I never blog about?
Hrmmm... not a lot! My dad reads my blog so I try not to post anything he would be terribly ashamed of... but sometimes he calls me and I can just see him shaking his head at me. ha! I did think about writing about the abortion debate that is going on in feminist blogland at the moment but I knew I'd get too caught up and talk about my own personal story but I don't think I'd want the people that read my blog to know all that (and by people I mean my dad and gran etc). I do however share it all on here.... Weird.

No thought required... I don't put any into mine! 
And you don't have to comment... if I was writing interesting enough stuff you wouldn't be able to resist... perhaps it's incentive for me
Can't wait til tomorrow! hehe

LOL - Ok so now you'll have your own stalker (except you'll know who I am!)...
Emma, do get Maya to update hers - I do like reading her wee updates. She is so...honest!
So is that it - Nikki and Ginger? I thought there would be more...esp given all the 'chat' and sharing that goes on here...

I have just started one on this site about us moving up to and living in Waiouru.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

Ahhh, yes, the blogs on this site. I've only ever read Maya's - I should look around for a few more...
Nikki - keep up the bull; it's kept us all coming for more (and *I* don't think it's bull!)
Joshierocks - where is yours?
