So, do you blog?

If so, what's it about? How often do you update it? is it for business or pleasure? Got many followers or comments?

I'm interested in your experiences, and would love to see some links to your blogs.

I'll put mine up later when I'm sure this topic isn't closed down by the mods as unnecessary link building... I am genuinely interested!

Thanks. smile

With regards blogging in general, I did it to generate a little bit of experience when I first started thinking about writing, then as part of my portfolio when I first looked at getting a job in journalism.

Currently there's no real strategy behind it - it's served its purpose now and I only do the odd bit here and there - although I am vaguely thinking of 're-branding' and developing it into something a little bit more serious.

The most entertaining entry recently was definitely this one: http://chriscarblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/smmt-test...

Got one that is mostly written offline for the mo - use it for business and things I'd like people to be aware of but would look like a bunch of ramblings on the website. It'll get posted up periodically soon...just need to get a bit more organised and then I'll have the time to do that bit too.

I did a blog for my kit car build: http://spdpug98.wordpress.com/ but don't have one for day-to-day stuff

I started it so that I could look back after the build (and during) to see what progress I had actually made

Thanks, it's a bit repetitive and doesn't really go anywheree, but it helps me to get things out..

Yup, that's a photo of Daisy from earlier this year, she's grown a lot since then!

I started one, rambled a bit, got bored.

I'm waiting for one of those moments when i look out of a window, and go.. "what is it with those xxxxx?"

I guess i've ran out of things to moan at.
Not quite sure why i started it, i guess i felt like writing something at some stage...

Hi, I've got a couple of youngsters - one 5yo and the other 2yo. I never had to face that beginning to fatherhood you described but just thinking about what you wrote struck a chord. No new father should have to face such comments.

Anyway, I hope your life took on a better turn. The pic of Daisy is lovely. You're not far from me (Redditch). I've seen RedVictor running at Shakespear - I think earlier this year. I wonder if you were there too.

Good luck with life. It's your turn.
