I have a friend (I won't tell her name cuz she might be embarrassed by me posting this about her) and I want her to start a blog!!! It's mostly for selfish reasons on my part. I just want to keep in better contact with her. (No, phone calls and emails are not enough!) Her reason for not blogging is, she needs a good name for her blog. It can't be cheesy. She wants it to be cool.
So, here's where you come in.
So, here's where you come in.
I would like to know your blogging story.
How long have you been a blogger?
Why did you start a blog?
How did you chose your blog name?
What are your current reasons for blogging?
Please help me convince my friend and some of my other non-blogging family members that blogging is a good thing and that they really want to have one for their own.

I started blogging as a way of writing down and keeping some of the little everyday things that we forget about....conversations with the kids, "blonde" moments, goofy everyday stuff. I didn't know if it would be of any interest to anyone but me and I didn't care. I started my blog for me. Now it's become a way for my family and friends to keep up with us. I still don't know how interesting my blog is to read, but it's still just the little stuff that a year from now I'll forget all about, but now I have a record of it!
I don't know how I came up with my name. 4 For Me.....It just fit. I have 4 kids and life seems to evolve around them, right now.
I hope your friend decides to start blogging. Good luck!
Well I've been blogging since July 2007. I started a blog because friends of mine sent me the address of theirs and how they had just started it. I thought I could do that! Then I read an email and it included a very funny story by a mom of 6 kids who decided to sell her kids Pomkemon cards... I went to the Ebay link and found that this lady had a blog.. a funny blog about life with kids. More inspiration to really get to blogging. Through her blog I ran across others whose comments got my attention and that is how I found others and then others found me and well here I am! My family also are not quite sure about blogging. I've "met" so many neat women who have so much in common with me, that I would trade it for anything.
i've gotten a couple of my non-blogging friends to blog, and i am so happy. i really do like keeping in touch this way! they were also hesitant at first, but now are doing great. check out the links for anna, tiffany and clair on my blog. they're newbies, and they're great.
i started just to keep in touch with far away friends and family. it turned into something far more social than that, but i try for the most part to make it a journal/scrapbook of our family, because i have it published into book form. i'm getting my first one in about a week... check back for details!
I wonder who this friend is?? You are so great!! This is fun. :)
I blog because it's just SO FREAKIN' FUN!!!
Okay, I started blogging just to put my thoughts out into the universe. Now I have fun friends to chat with, and actually have some adult conversation and interaction with during my day of crazy childcare responsibilities.
My blog name, is just a name that came out of my mouth years ago while laughing with friends and such - don't even remember what we were talking about. But I've always liked the word, and so I picked that! I think a nickname, or some made up word, or something would be fun. But my first blog, I titled 'I Love Autumn.' Which is not very original... :S
Good luck! Hope your friend starts blogging! Cuz it's JUST SO DARN FUN!!!!!
I started blogging because I type faster than I write and my spelling is terrible, but online I have spell checker so I don't look too stupid.
I have to admit, though, that once you started reading my blog I started blogging my consistently. I thought, Laurie wants to know what's going on in my life, so I'd better write a new post this week.
When I started blogging there was a blog of note called Amyville. And I thought, Momville, that's what I'm in. It was available, so here I am.
I started blogging in August of 2007 I think, and I started because a friend of mine had one and I'd seen some others and it looked fun. I love to write and it gives me an outlet to do that. It's also a way to connect with our international family and let them peek into our lives and see their grandchildren/nephews.
My blog name "2 Kids and Tired" came because we have two children and are always tired.
