Social blogging is something I’ve thought about time and time again, but never really dived into. Until now.
\nI am no good at writing in my Journal. I think I average about once a month. But I LOVE pictures. I think I could be better if I could tell stories with pictures. And I am kind of a geek. . . and you can’t really add hyperlinks to the pages of a paper journal and have them mean anything.<\/p>\n
I’ve tried to start a blog for TFPWK (The Funniest People We Know – A story for another day) but the content was so specific there that I lost interest. I also started one for my photography company, Pristine Photo. That went fine for awhile, but I found myself wanting to post pictures of my kid – and that’s hardly appropriate for a business oriented blog. I need to get in the game with that blog again though.<\/em> Then, just under a year ago Dave and I started a monthly newsletter. And I really started to get into it. But the problem now is that if I include every little thing (plus a few more pictures) the newsletters are coming out to be 20-30 some odd printed pages. Not only is that a lot of paper, but its FAR TOO MUCH information about our family to stuff into a single reading. And I am certain that it is only a matter of time before each and every one of the people who read it is committed to a mental institution. Really! It’s that bad.<\/p>\n The only logical step was to enter the wonderful world of blogging. So, here I am.<\/p>\n I imagine I’ll copy over the few random entries I have over at the TFPWK blog and just dissolve that one pretty soon. And as time goes on you’ll probably read way too much about 2 year old tantrums, ingrown toenails, and belly button lint. Should be fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Social blogging is something I’ve thought about time and time again, but never really dived into. Until now.
