Blogging

I recently read part of someone’s blog who was rambling about the whole psychology of blogging. How for some it’s personal and others want attention etc. It got me thinking about my reasons for blogging (no clue what they are yet). It also got me thinking about how I named my blog random thoughts only to find out that random and musings are actually some of the most common ‘topics’ that people write about. I guess we just like seeing our stream of consciousness in writing.

Also, after reading Toby’s comments about how she finally discovered how to comment on a particular story it made me think that it’s funny how complicated my blog is for most of my friends/family. I think it’s partly a generational thing, but also I find that once you set up your own blog, it’s all pretty logical and it becomes very easy to use other peoples blogs if they created them here at wordpress, although I still have a hard time finding my way around at Ingrid’s blog (live journal). I also think the whole blog community is interesting. It seems to me that most comments on blogs come from people who have their own blogs. Also, I find myself hoping someone will comment on something I write even though I don’t really try to write anything the least bit interesting (and I usually accomplish that). Also, finding interesting blogs and deciding who’s blog to bookmark is challenging. At first I wanted to bookmark every interesting blog that I came across, but now I realize that could add up really quickly, so I try to be choosey/choosy (spell check says both are correct).

I think Toby, Al and Haus Frau should set up their own blogs. It’s really easy.
