I have been into online stuffs for some years now but I haven't been much of a blogger. My friends who entered the virtual world with their own blogs and diverted later on to other stuffs, always wondered that I did not have a blog.
I think its about time that I started my own blog. What do you say?

Hi, mimpi. I recently started blogging, about one and a half months ago. That is really a good experience. Blogging gives you ways to express yourself on the matter of your interest and expertise and it provides a recognition as a writer. Moreover, blogging is something that makes you work harder on the subject of your interest.
I also believe you should start blogging.
If you like, you may visit any of my three blogs, well, they are new so they don`t have much material yet, but they are a good beginning. My blogs are:

As you know a blog is like a diary or a collaborative space, wherein you get to express yourself in any particular subject or anything you like. You have been expressing yourself on various forums and sites it's and I think it's a wonderful idea to have a blog wherein you get to collaborate many of your online activities and expressions into one space.
Personally i had opened a blog sometime back but never got around to doing anything on it. Lack of motivation or whatever it is i can't seem to lay my fingers on the reason.
I'm sure you will find starting a new blog an exciting new activity (time permitting of course) and i'm sure it would be an excellent compilation and i eagerly look forward to seeing and participating.
All the very best on the blog venture Mimpi. I think it's a great idea.

I do have a blog and have had one for about 6 months. It is very addictive and rewarding in upkeeping a blog and you can make a few bucks at it too. Go ahead and give it a try!

Sure, you can start your own, what motivates you, what is your hobby,or interest. That will be a good way to start your own blog. Just follow my blog whenever you have already composed your own site.

It is up to you to make the decision. It would not hurt for you to create one and try it out. You can always delete it if you find that you are not suited to be a blogger.. =)

I have my own blog too. It is not that hard to maintain a blog for yourself. Mimpi, try to create 1 for yourself. I will visit your blog!
Before you start a blog, try to think what you would like to blog about. Then once you have a goal, you can manage to start a blog.
My blog is mainly about my 2 angels. I blog about their growing, daily life and sometimes I post some of my shopping experience and cookery as well.

hi mimpi!^^
i have a blog too and i remember the first few months that i started it. i was really excited and i always had an entry every week. its good to have a blog because you can express some things that you don't have anyone to share with in your real life. and its a good way to share your opinions and views and even your life experiences to other people in the world.
i don't blog regularly anymore because i've been busy and i just miss my blog so much.

i have had a blog in the past and i wrote about how to save money and live a frugal life, but sadly i dont think anyone read it, so i haven't done any writing in it for quite some time. i am not sure if i will ever go back to it or not. blogging is cool, but there are so many out there. how do you make yours stand out?

I am an author on ehow also. Send me your link.
You know, i blog also. I have several going across the internet, and sometimes i just talk. Once i put in the days events. Other times, if i have a message to relay, then i tell a story, or simply write.

I always write personal and humorous things in my blog. On fridays, I make a post called "Freebie Fridays" which will show how I earn online, the free things I have gotten, and how to be frugal. Besides that I like to post pictures and funny stories about myself. You need to create a relationship with your readers, too. I have been working on an article for ehow on how to blog for a year straight. I should have it up tonight. If you want to read it for ideas, send me a PM and I will send you the link.

What kind of things do you blog about? I am always looking for new blogs to check out! Blogging is one thing I loooove to do.
This afternoon I am going to be uploading a few ehow articles (there has been something wrong with their system all week where my article wouldn't save or publish, so I lost a LOT of work) and after I do that, I will send you my link so you can check them out!
One of my articles has a LOT of steps. I got to about one hundred and fifty, and the system lost my article! I was really upset, obviously!

I love blogging and even monetized one blog so that I make a little money from it--enough to pay for my expenses, so that I can use a really user-friendly platform and buy fun supplies and equipment. I get a kick out of knowing that my internet connect and/or mouse, mousepad, software, etc. are paid for by the blog.
But I would write a blog anyway because I love to write and it is sort of like a diary for me, except one that I cannot set aside and lose. It also saves a lot of postage, because if friends want to know what I'm up to, they can look at my blog. Activity there has assured several of them that I didn't die after all!
That said, I must say that blogging is not for everyone. One must be motivated to keep at it regularly and one must be prudent enough to withhold enough personal information so as not to put one's self and one's family at risk. I say this because the internet, an information highway, is just like a real street weaving through diverse communities, and you don't know who is peeping through your windows in the dark of the cyber night.

I printed out all those pages and pages of convoluted rules and took them with on a vacation, thinking I might sit on the beach and read them all. Didn't get past the 3rd page. I said forget this. I have (or had, dunno which at this point) an account set up, but never used it.

I started my own blog, and then it got messy. I am planning to get rid of the mess I have created, cut down on the categories I have and create other blogs for the stuff I'm moving. I've actually already started my cross stitch site.

So far, the site is just about the projects I am currently working on and the projects I have already finished. I am hoping to be able to add my favourite patterns, and ones I create myself, and eventually, have a place where people can sell their products or finished items.
I don't update much because I don't spend a lot of time doing cross stitch these days, but I'm hoping to change that soon and do lots more.

I am not sure what you are talking about by blogging. I do have a myspace where i connect to friend and distant relatives. I also accept strangers as new friends. As far as the blog part i do not go on there and treat it as my diary. I just use it to connect to people. I also am with a site called tagged. I was sent an invite from an online friend. And met a few new ones there too.

Myspace offers a "blog" section but that is not a "real" blog. If you create a blog is is basically an online diary or webpage that you design yourself. You can pick the applications and the set up of your blog. I prefer using a traditional blog rather than the blog offered by myspace.

Hi Mimpi1911,
I've started blogging since last year and it really is good experience for me. I never thought that blogging can be fun. It also helps me to spend my free time doing more useful readings , because I need new ideas and issues to blog. Since you like to express your ideas in writing, why not set up a blog that you can use to post all your favorite subjects. By doing so, you are actually sharing your knowledge with people around the world as well, it's a good deed.

Hi sweetie, hope you're well? Not been here for a while, trying to catch up today!
I don't have a blog either which is strange, I guess, considering I've been an active user of the internet for well over 10 years now. I think I will get around to starting one soon, just need a push in the right direction. Here's a push from me to you for you to start one yourself hun. x

Hi Mimpi,
Today I joined your blog. Actually, long back I created one blog and now even forgot about the same. Today when I sign up they first rejected my email id by saying it was already registered and asked me to select another other then only I realized I have one blog. Thank you so much for inviting me dear. May be I won't be able to contribute much to your blog but I am happy to be a member there.
Thank you so much, have a great day!

I have been blogging since 2007, and has 4 blogs. But due to limited time, I can only maintain one blog.
Actually, it is you who can really answer your question. However, there are some factors to be considered first such as point of interest. Incidentally, I made a post about them last year entitled Important Things to know before starting a Blog. Here is the link - http://fatherblogger.com/2008/07/13/important-things-to-know-before-starting-a-blog/
Hope that helps.

I have a few different blogs, too. I also find that it's hard to keep up with all of them. I focus most of my time on my personal blog, which I get the most hits to. I don't get a lot of hits, really, considering I write a personal blog, but I still really love it. I have been blogging for years and years, and it's a hobby I really enjoy. I hope that ONE day my blog may become one of the more popular personal blogs, but I will have to keep working hard at it!

Dear mimpi1911,
You have a wonderful username! In Bahasa Malaysia, mimpi = dreams
I just started blogging on 30th March 2009. My son is the one who
encouraged me to blog. Most of my posts are about travels, photos
that depict more than a picture, some personal thoughts and ideas.
I truly hope you can visit my blogs if you are online. You can have
the link to my blog via my Profile at myLot here. Thanks :)
