Bloggity Blog Blog
« on: January 09, 2010, 07:28:41 AM »
Lately I've been reading many people's blogs, including some from the people on UKY, so now it's got me thinking about starting my own blog.
I know there is no set way that a blog is supposed to go, but just curious as to what ya'll like to blog about? And why do you blog? For yourself, for your friends and family, just for pure entertainment value?

I started my blog mainly for the benefit of my parents. Plus, I would get sick of telling people the same thing over and over, so if they check my blog they can get some of that news there! I pretty much write about whatever I feel like writing, it's not specifically an expat blog, food blog, pregnancy or weight loss blog. As those things come up in my life, I write about them. Sometimes I'm out and about and I can feel a post working itself up in my brain.

My parents LOVE my 365 blog and I like doing that for them because it makes me feel like they have an idea of what my day to day life is like. I could probably stop doing that one and just add more pictures to my regular blog, but I like doing the photo project and since I'm unemployed and bored, sometimes it's the only thing I'll do all day!

Mine's a pretty private blog and is set as 'friends only.' I mostly blog about what's going on in my life, so it's primarily for my own benefit - partly so I can look at back at what I did on certain days, but mostly just to vent about personal things and talk about stuff that I have no other outlet for. I used to also review all the books I read and leave those blog entries as public, but it's something I've got out of the habit of doing - but plan to start again as soon as I finish the book I'm in the middle of!

I also have a food blog and a 365 (photo) blog, both of which are public.

I blog because I talk a lot - ok ok just kidding I blog because I like it - my motto is "Sharing is Caring"
Friends and Family enjoy reading and even I had some contact from people I don't know that searched for long distance relationships and run into my blog and I get a "YAY"

Its fun to look back on and once I get moving to the UK I will have fun things to share about experiences.  I know I can't commit to a 365 but weekly I try to do to "share"

Do it - if no one reads it - who cares its for you ;-) and if someone wants to read it and comment GREAT :-)
