I do often wonder why people read what others have written and feel the need to criticize. Another friend pointed out that any "brain dumping" (thanks for that one Julia!) was part of the deal her husband signed up to! <br />I promise to keep it lite and woolly from her on in!Chaos, Kids, Crochet and Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01994358630275446426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012472518273957917.post-43253521764187044552011-08-18T18:29:30.385+10:002011-08-18T18:29:30.385+10:00I love to look back at my old blog posts, so most ...I love to look back at my old blog posts, so most of the time it is created as a record for me and my family. I don't include everything from my life on my blog though, I'm not entirely comfortable with "brain dumping" on a blog when you don't know who could be reading it. Facebook is an intriguing glance into other people's lives and I am also sometimes shocked at the "brain dumps" that happen on there too! I tend not to comment myself very often. As you say, it's nice to keep in touch with people who you don't see often. I can't understand the appeal of twitter frankly, but that's just me! Thanks for that post, very thought provoking. xJuliabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07712813736158254230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012472518273957917.post-75231433452051778572011-08-17T18:09:31.429+10:002011-08-17T18:09:31.429+10:00I too am new to blog world, but an older member of...I too am new to blog world, but an older member of facebook. I pretty well use it for keeping in touch, and occasionally sharing amusing anecdotes to (hopefully) lighten peoples days. I don't take it very seriously.<br />I also use my blog as a diary as much for myself as anyone else (though I get VERY excited every time someone comments...and today a new person started following...!)<br />I will look forward to your posts :)<br />Sonia xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012472518273957917.post-74437281160850172442011-08-17T17:13:24.466+10:002011-08-17T17:13:24.466+10:00I am new to blog world, and guess I'm already ...I am new to blog world, and guess I'm already discovering it is more than I thought it would be. Firstly I am amazed there are other people out there who are very similar to me in my likes and how I spend my time. I am incredibly inspired what others are up to and want to be challenged too. I can now see what a wonderful way this to journal the things that are going on in my family just for us, especially as I have the most horrendous memory! Lastly, in time I would hope I can begin to earn a few pennies from the things I love to do. For three years(or so) I have had a website to promote my art and I want to move on with it all..........hhhhmmmm, so not exactly first step blog, next step world domination.........neither am I going to get some sort of award for my life changing philosophies, but earning £2 (for something that took 20 hours to make) will put the biggest smile on my face and somehow justify why I do what I do!*https://www.blogger.com/profile/10821840185143701654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012472518273957917.post-1933755677518063032011-08-17T14:07:53.623+10:002011-08-17T14:07:53.623+10:00hey Sandra, Interesting times we live in with the ...hey Sandra, Interesting times we live in with the explosion of social media don't you think. I keep my blog as a record of my crafty activities and our family life, like you I didn't think anyone would be particularly interested in my life, but have been pleasantly surprised at the support and interest shown in the things I blog about (pretty everyday and boring stuff, not really my opinions on things as I feel preachy writing about world events, but that might be a confidence thing too). I have started a little shop from my blog, but am terrible at the self promotion thing and hence have sold nothing yet, but at least it gives me a reason to make things!( not that I really need one, but it is a good excuse to give to other non crafty people!). I don't have a facebook account (although my 2 elder boys are right into it) or a twitter one, blogging is about the extent of my social media knowledge, I am also a bit slack on the commenting and interacting with others in the bloggy world, really should make more effort! (hence this long comment!!haha...) Have a good day! Julie:)littlewoolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044255857519779930noreply@blogger.com
