~Forgive Me For Being Stupid~

Dabs · 11-03-2009, 02:30 PM

As long as I have been posting here...and reading here...I have never ever wrote a blog.
Never wrote in anything, except these forums.
Now, I feel stupid, because to tell the truth, I'm not sure how to blog ~LoL~
I'm not sure what a blog even is!
Is it like an online public diary that everyone reads??
I just pour out my heart whenever I feel the urge??
I guess I'd like to try......but I don't want to start blogging crap that people will laugh at or make fun of ~LoL~
(see, I laugh at my own stuff even)
So...any hints.....advice....any of yunz can give me??
I would appreciate it :-)
I can talk about many things....I have done that here, in General Discussion....maybe some of those times I should have been blogging *haha*
But I like to talk mostly about my beautiful Mother~
Thanks y'all *smiles*

Dabs, a blog is simply whatever you feel like putting out there. I would suggest you flip through others blogs to get a feel. You'll find that they run from one extreme to another, with every possible variant in between. There really is no wrong way to blog, if there were, I would have found it!

In a blog.. you can just write about anything in the entire world.
Write it like a diary, write about the car that cut you off earlier today and ticked you off, or about how much you like pizza..lol That's the beauty of blogging.. No rules, you just write..

And don't care what anyone else thinks, if they laugh at it or whatever.. screw them, it's your blog

Have fun! Your first blog can be a dedication to your mother.. that would be a great idea!

Hi Dabs, I don't blog as much as I used to. I don't seem to have the time for it. When you blog, you can set the viewer setting (my term, not Thoughts) to three different options, if I remember correctly. One option is so that only you can read the blog. Another option is that only your friends can read your blog. The third option is that anyone can read your blog.

Anything you want to write about but don't feel like letting the world know about it, you can be the only viewer of it. You decide!

Go read some of the other blogs to get an idea about what people blog about. Topics are all over the place in the blogs!

Dabs, you just might find it a catharsis. A couple that I've written have worked out that way for me.

I broke my blog virginity the other day.

Not worth reading though.

I've yet to read anything "unworthy" minesadorada.

So lets hear about your mom. Mine was a debator and loved to take the less traveled road.... My brothers and sisters couldn't understand her but we got along quite well and I knew that she may not believe what she would argue about but she could be quite convincing because of her variety of reading. So what about your mom?
