BLOGS........? (32)

Oh yes, good idea!

I`ve never gotten to the Facebook thing ......... I tried it, but it got too scary ....... being bombarded with odd-sods wanting to be "friends" ... and I`m rather fussy about who my friends are......

Nah ..... I just been investigating some stuff .... and was told one HAS to blog, before other things will be revealed in the mystic space of ether surrounding this planet.......

I`m just .. at the moment ..... messing about with stuff like that ... trying to educate myself.

Ahhh thanks Charlie! I love you dearly

Oooohhh weeeeeeeee ..... somebodies has read MY BLOG!

I feel like a kid who just managed to make the swing swing!

Probably gonna make a fool of myself ... but Im so old, what the hell...... better than getting drunk and dancing on a table and smashing all the glasses in the restaurant and accosting old men and pulling their swissy moustaches.......

Hoi Tomboygirl.....

Ja, it was all news to me too.

I been "writing" for years and years .... and I have all these old dusty manuscripts stuffed in drawers ....and never knew what to do with them.....

And then my one son, unfortunately, inherited the writing bug from me .... and he has written a book.

And then he investigated the possibilites of getting it published ... But it seems that authors, these days, have to "sell themselves" ..... be able to prove to publishers that they have a reading audience........

And, at one of our kitchen conferences, he enlightened me about Blog writing. He has a blog site, and he writes regularly, and is developing an audience ....... and one day he will approach a publisher with proof of his reading audience. .......... while inbetween he writes his second book ... and one day he will be published ... Meanwhile he writes about his experiences living here in Switzerland. (I will divulge his Blog site later, you may enjoy his style of writing?).....

So, now, I am trying to build up my own courage to "go public" .... and dipping my toes into this world of Blogs.

I really would like to retire from doing the laundry for Credit Suisse!

(Funny thing .... he, my son, refers to "my forum" CS as Credit Suisse ...hahhaaaaaa ... CS!?

I practice on the blog site here ..... and edit it for the Google Site ... sorry to make it boring for you.

Hi smoky,

I just had a quick look at your blog via the link you provided. Thanks. keep it up.

I did start a cuple of blogs, but they fell by the wayside. I was thinking earlier this evening of maybe starting a travelling blog, triggered by the last couple of weeks of being in Italy. Just so maybe I could help someone avoid some of the frustrations I've experienced, such as use of internet and mobile phones, more specifically, coverage. The upside being how helpful people can be to total strangers, engendering a sense of real kinship of sorts.

I must tell you... I saw a message on yahoo from a very dear online friend of mine I haven't spoken with in months. She used to be on CS. The link led me to her blog and I always love reading her entries. this time was extra special as she had got married so I was able to share in her world with all its recent joy and frustrations.

So, here's a salut to blogging
