I also enjoy reading what others have to share from their little corners of the world.

It's a been a couple of months now and it is scary! I'm hoping to meet others in a similar situation to exchange experiences and sort of "shore one another up". I also heard blogging was a good promotional tool. Promotion has never been my strong point and it was time to stop saying that and just get on with finding ways to do it! <br /><br />By the way, I like the look of your blog. It's very inviting. Really looks more like a regular website. I'll have to learn more about how to do that. I pretty much just went with the basic set-up and chose a colorful background!

I discovered I really didn't have much of a talent for it but I loved blogging. I read a wide variety of blogs and it's not always so much the subject as it is the author of the blog that keeps me coming back. I tend to shy away from blogs that don't do pictures. I'm not crazy about a big wall of words...lolAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886333496997952719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241265308175885433.post-9750233040687425652011-06-10T18:07:43.239-05:002011-06-10T18:07:43.239-05:00I love reading blogs that are a nice mix of busine...I love reading blogs that are a nice mix of business and personal life.

Blogging soon turned into much more then that for me. I love to take photos to use for my artwork and blogging has given me a venue to show them , talk about what inspires me and funny enough, blogging keeps me motivated to create and paint. This is something I thought I would never get from a blog but that is the way it has turned out.<br /><br />RuthRuth Welterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822466687503082708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241265308175885433.post-60258074280235106542011-06-10T07:38:34.992-05:002011-06-10T07:38:34.992-05:00I blog to share information that I learn as I rese...I blog to share information that I learn as I research my vintage items. Some of it is too detailed to put into my Etsy shop listings, but too good to let go. I love reading blogs where you can feel the author's personality come through. I don't mind spelling/grammer errors, as this can be part of the personality coming through to the reader.Judy Westcotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743064655205146630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241265308175885433.post-11713915363839881152011-06-10T07:20:19.045-05:002011-06-10T07:20:19.045-05:00I blog because I just love to write.

I love meeting people and connecting with people I wouldn't have met any other way! One of my biggest pet peeves is opening up a new blog page and LOUD MUSIC starts playing. I get that people are trying to set a mood - but often it is not something I would listen to or if it is it is 12:00 midnight here and the whiole house is echoing! It is usually difficult to find the source of the music and shut it off. Maybe it's just me - but I've started avoiding blogs that do this : PMy Life Under the Bushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13836423832413060032noreply@blogger.com
