QOTW for August 21
| Mon, 08-21-2006 - 11:16am |
So many of us have blogs now, and I enjoy reading them on a daily basis in addition to our message boards. It's nice to get a peek inside my long distance friends' lives. I think sometimes it's easier to share more in-depth information about ourselves and our lives or write in detail about a particular subject or interest more through blogs than message boards. Here on this board we hope you feel comfortable sharing parts of your life with us in addition to asking for support and advice.
With that said,

Have a great week!
Hugs

I like that my blog is what I want to write about but that other's drop by and comment.

Not quite like the message boards although of course people do share.
Perhaps more like a diary is how I see the blogs :)
Hi Ginger!
Yes, blogs are like online journals, although some people use them to discuss certain topics like politics. There are blogs about technology, blogs about weight loss journeys, all kinds of things.
I agree about the interaction found on message boards. The comment feature on blogs allows for interaction, but the message boards provide exposure to
I totally agree, Jen! Thanks for replying!
>>What I'm a bit afraid of is that we are losing our desire to put things in writing for posterity.
