Why do you blog? I started out blogging on LJ just chatting and keeping up with some friends, and then put the blog on my domain…initially just to see if I could install WordPress with the idea of using it just to keep my relatives back in England up to date with the goings-on of our life now that the munchkin was born. I felt it would be easier to just write blog entries than to be constantly sending mass emails that might be getting annoying, and also they wouldn’t have to try and fathom out livejournal to see what was going on.

What do you like best about blogging? I like being able to connect with others. It’s great to get comments from people when something from your life touches them in some way, that they can relate to you, and you to them. The different perspectives and the similarities. I really like all the people I’ve been meeting and getting to know. There’s a great community of people all around that I had no idea about until I started researching ways to make my blog better.

So how does this work? If you want to participate, write an entry on your blog about Ami-Chan’s blog with 2 or 3 links to entries that you enjoyed. Then return to this entry, and leave a comment with a link. You can use one of the following images in your entry or on your site, please save it and upload it to your own.

Why do you blog? I blog to express my self on various fronts pretty much without restraint other than what might be moral in my opinion. There are a lot of forums dedicated to the various aspects of my life that I like to be verbal and converse in but they tend to become either a hodge-podge of communal voice, or argumentative to the point of distraction from the original thought… or, the least gratifying of forum types… so lightly trafficked that I’m talking to myself anyway and may as well just have my own blog about whatever it is I want to talk about–which brings me right back to why I blog. I have three active blogs at the moment. One dedicated primarily to my farm life, one dedicated primarily to my writing life, and entertainment as a whole, and one where I just spout off about anything that crosses my mind. I enjoy them all immensely and the friends I’ve made within the blogging community are wonderful and cherished.

What do you like best about blogging? The freedom to express my opinion on a subject and the ability to share my life and thoughts with other like minded individuals. The Internet has become such a vast and wonderful place, and blogging is the bigger, better equivalent to diary writing. Diary writtng is a lonely business, and no one will likely every read the entries. With blogs, you can share your innermost secrets (if you’re bold), or just chit chat about the variety of life and find out you’re not alone in those feelings, and experiences. Diaries can sometimes make you more depressed over a situation, where blogs often leave you uplifted to find others in the same situations… and with blogs, when you have something joyous to share, you can get global support in your happiness as well.

You know the drill from here, right? If you want to participate, write an entry on your blog about Tami’s blog with 2 or 3 links to entries that you enjoyed.

Why do you blog? I blog, because I enjoy it. When I first started, it was to keep in touch with my friends and family back home. I am 4 hours away from them, and it is hard to keep in touch sometimes. This allowed them a glimpse into our everyday lives, and they were able to keep updated with what is going on with my daughter Madison. When they are this little, they grow and change so much that I liked to keep them updated in a more timely matter. Then last July I suffered a miscarriage. My blog turned into more a personal diary of how I felt. It gave me an outlet for all my emotions and feelings and frustrations. Now with this pregnancy, my blog has evolved yet again. I am able to give everyone a glimpse into our world and our excitement with the new baby. After I have the baby, I am sure I will be blogging about all the firsts he/she has.

What do you like best about blogging? This is an easy question. I love all of the wonderful people I have met. I have a whole world of online friends that I would never have met if I was not blogging.

Doris is a self confessed travel freak as well as a stay at home / work at home mom (or “mum”, depending on who you ask) living in Singapore. (I’m extremely jealous because one of her most recent blog entries mentions shopping at Ikea. How come Ikea can build in Singapore, but there’s not one by me yet? I wanna shop at Ikea TOO!)

Why do you blog? It started when I was expecting Clayton and being new to motherhood and all, I needed a ’space’ of my own. But the truth was when he came, I had simply no time to maintain the blog and got back to it only after our first New Zealand trip in Oct 2004.

Blogging now is become a daily activity for me now. I blog because I can be ‘me’ in this space and the upside of blogging, I make lots of friends and meet many interesting bloggers out there. Staying in touch, networking and being able to express yourself are the main reasons to keep my blogging momentum going.

What do you like best about blogging? The ability to share my thoughts, experiences and opinions on life, passions and everything else! Developing virtual friendships is the
next best for me.

Ready to write? Put together an entry on your blog about Doris & her blog, with 2 or 3 links to entries that caught your eye. All done?

Why do you blog? Because I can? Seriously, I blog because it’s a great way to share my thoughts. Sometimes it’s about my family, other times it’s about issues stay at home and work at home moms can face. It’s a lot of fun most of the time.

What do you like best about blogging? Probably the freedom to post about whatever catches my interest at the time. These days I post most of my articles to my blog, along with whatever is going on in my life that I want to blog about. It’s just convenient. I also like the ability to get feedback from other people. It’s amazing sometimes the different experiences people have, but sometimes the similarities can be pretty scary.

Why do you blog? I like to have a written account of things going on in my life, thoughts I’m having etc. For me it truly is a journal so I can look back and say “Hey yes I remember that, gee I thought that happened later in the year than that!” and have an accurate record. Time plays funny things with a persons memory

What do you like best about blogging? I enjoy reading as much if not more than blogging myself. I love seeing other peoples lives, how they are the same and different from my own. Sometimes people write a blog entry and it will give me a solution to a problem thats been plaguing me. Sometimes, it’s simply entertaining. Life really IS stranger than fiction!

Why do you blog? I’ve always loved to express myself through writing. I started writing when I was a teenager, and always felt more free to be more expressive than with my spoken words. Over the years, the love of writing translated into books, articles and then blogging was my next process. I have multiple blogs that cover general topics where I just speak about life, and I have niche blogs now where I have more focus. My mind tends to scatter and go off in different areas, so I like having the flexibility of different sites to spread those thoughts out on.

What do you like best about blogging? I think the thing I like best about blogging is the community that it creates. Meeting other bloggers, reading new blogs, and reading personal views on me is more appealing then news at times. I find news to be sad and depressing at times, because the media loves to play on ratings, rather than things that people actually want to know about. In reading blogs, you get to see what people think about different topics. I’ve met some great friends through blogging. I love the freedom I feel when I blog to discuss what’s important to me, rather than what the world may deem is important.

Why do you blog? I started blogging because it was another venue to get notice for my WAH website, but then I found I actually enjoyed it. I don’t keep a journal so it has become my online journal. I started three more blogs on things I am interested in. I love doing internet research so it is not hard keeping up with all the entries!

What do you like best about blogging? My favorite thing about blogging is actually reading others’ blogs. Whenever someone leaves me a comment, I try to check out their blog as well. I have found some really interesting (and informative) information!
