(this is not an ad!) I found blogging a few months ago. I really started the first one to work through some of my own issues of caregiving and my son's situation. Then I started a couple more. I blog about running and the other blog is a devotion for caregivers. I hope to encourage others. I'm really starting to like blogging and am thinking about adding some more. Do you blog? Why did you start? Why do you like it?

I set up a couple of Wordpress blogs a couple of years ago but I really have not kept them up to date. I think I lost interest in them a little when I discovered MyLot actually! I also enjoy building Squidoo lenses too which are really just like mini blogs that you can build on anything and everything. I have been there for over 3 years now, but I have not completed any new lenses in the last year. I have started plenty, but have not gotten around to publishing them yet. They are works in progress, but I have about ten pages that I have completed. I really enjoy the creativity side of it the most. Starting with a blank canvas and then ending up with a page full of stuff that looks great!

That is awesome! I haven't ever tried squido but I've heard a lot about it. I'll have to check it out one of these days! I write here a lot too!

It is a fun network with great people just like here, but it is a lot different to here. There is a banner on my profile here, which leads to my profile there if you are interested in seeing the pages I have "completed" so far. (I put completed in brackets as the pages are ever changing and evolving).

Hi Mac!. I am doing a blogging too. Its about tomato growing especially cherry tomato. Which quite hard to find the seed here. I am lucky there are so many people sending me seed when they know I am impossible to get it from big seed company because they is restriction when importing seed even just for hobby. So I want to put all my gardening project there and maybe growing others interest in cherry tomato and organic gardening. I think what you did is great maybe any one who got the same problem with you can learn from it and don't feel lost when they know there someone who dealing the same problem. Are you made in blogspot this time?.

Yes its mostly heirloom seed and OP so I can safe the seed. Its really heart warming to receive kindness from someone I barely known. Its made believe there are so many kind hearted people in this world.

Personally for me, the closest I come to blogging about anything is here on myLot. I just am not one to find time to keep up with anything like you are suggesting. Since I talk about a lot of personal issues and things going on in my life here, this is where I choose to continue, but wishing you the Best in your Blogging interests.

I work through some things here on mylot too. For me blogging has become two-fold. I started the first one to help others know how to work through all the honest questions (It is raw and open!) and find faith each day. But it ended up being very therapuetic for me as well!

I mainly talk about my family, mostly funny stuff my kids do and say. But it's changed over the last few years. Instead of posting directly to my blog, I generally post things here as discussions, and copy them over there later. I do it to keep the relatives up on what's happening with the children, and also as something the children can have as a keepsake later (must go and print blog off though)...

Hi there, i do blog. I have 3 blogs: poetry, singing and frugality/prosperity. I find that I contribute poetry fairly regularly. My prosperity blog is getting better. The singing blog is harder for me to keep up with as I teach voice and so writing about it after teaching all day is more difficult. I have learned a lot about myself in this process. Hope you are too.

That is aweseome! I have learned a lot about myself in this process as you mentioned for sure! And actually I have even learned that I'm not too bad of a gal!

i am trying to do that, hook it to my website. I think wordpress at least has a link to my website. I'll have to check. I have a ministry website, what kind of non-profit are you affilliated with?

I have been blogging for several years. I have blogs on many different subjects. I started blogging not only because I love to write, but also because I wanted to help others. I really enjoy blogging and hope my blogs help and encourage people in some small way.

Yeah, that's the whole point of my blogs too. I hope to encourage people and so far the feedback indicates I am succeeding at least to some degree!

I have a blog about my current 3d art projects which you can find on my profile if you take a look at it. I started to just mainly keep track of my progress and at the same time for the CG community I'm a member with to know my current progress.

It has certainly worked well for me. Especially since I am at home almost all the time. I have to work through lots of emotions and it has given me a platform to sort through stuff and to meet other people too.

blogging for me is like writing on my journal. my diary. That's why I started my blogs. But now I am considering at going up the next level. Making it a source of income. Yet I still got short of concepts and Ideas on what to write and maybe on the hows...

Yeah, my first one was more like a journal or diary. IT's all about how I work through my emotions and situations every day in caring for my son. Then the other two I am trying to make a little bit of income off of. One is my running log - kind of a devotional and the other is a daily devotion for caregivers.

I tried to start blog many times before and I didnt have the sucess that i was waiting for. But I was the problem..I blame myself anyway.I dont know maybe because it a lot work and I want my blog to be good...so I felt like I am not good. to do it. But I love blogs..I love when I find good stuff..like about news and some thing that are going on all over the place. But I like to real opinion no just what the TV is showing.

I like good blogs too. i don't do the news type stuff though. I did find a really interesting one that was talking about writing. He talked about the things that we have to do but are drudgery! It was well written and amusing.
