How many blogs do you have?
I love making blogs and in 2 to 3 years I manage to have a lot of them, there are 5 that I never kill, these are really the ones with the things I enjoy.
Do you blog? I believe that one day most of the population will, when everyone realize how great is to share something like that, a blog can become a little home, a place it's only ours, it's so great. If you never blogged you should try!

I think blogging is a beautiful thing. It`s like an online journal/diary. It`s your words put on the web for people to read. Or not read if you choose to make it private. I`ve had a few. I really dont know how you can manage 5 different blogs though, that would make my head spin. Back in the day I use to me a xanga user. It was really popular with my circle of friends. But I was too young to appreciate blogging then. I have a tumblr. I dont go on it much anymore, I dont know why, but I`ve spilled some of my inner thoughts on there. Great website. I have a blogger that I havent touched. And I`ve made a wordpress that I`m going to start using. Blogging is a beautiful thing. Always good to let out what your feeling on a blog. Take care.

Hello blogger :p
I can manage them because they are not updated daily, for example I'm really in love to looking into layouts, but I've been a webdesigner and really admire them but it just isn't for me, I don't have the patience so I love posting new templates to people to download, that have absolutely no words, I love gifs, I think it brings the child, the little girl in me, that also I don't have to update constantly, and so on.
In your words: blogging is a BEAUTIFUL thing, I think you expressed better there.

I have 3 blogs and will increase shortly, all of them with different topics and agenda, as a Malaysian with multi racial and religious, I have plenty of ideas to share with everybody. Blogging make me fulfill my time, instead of sitting in front of a TV LCD watching useless movie (except documentary) and programs , why not I blogging and sharing ideas and make new friends and followers.

It is good to see a Malaysian here every now and then... Frankly, blogging is not my cup of tea because I am not the type of person who can write fancily - I mean who can write fictitiously without confining his/her writing to factual style of writing...The worse thing you can extract out of me is my English composition, and the worst, guess what? My English story composition!
Back to the topic, blogging is an activity that will suit you most if you have spare time to sit down and write lengthy-yet-interesting entries (and also the ability to write fancily - that will attract many readers for you)...It is not about sharing ideas, and making new friends and followers only, but to express your true self to the world and to bring yourself to the next level...And to be frank, I don't like to watch movie either...I prefer documentary as well, you know, I am the type of factual person...
Nevertheless, welcome to MyLot and happy Mylotting!

This discussion is very timely because I was wanting to start another blog. Now I have five. I was inspired to make a new one from someone who followed one of my blogs but I haven't updated that one in a long time. I was looking at my follower's blog and it really impressed me so now I am inspired to make another one.

Hi Dreamy, keep dreaming!
That's great, a real blogger.
Nowadays we can't put all subjects in just one place so people who love to blog really need at least 3 right? I'm trying to narrow down but it seems that I always will have 4 or 5 cause there are these 5 subjects that are really fun to me.
What people should know before erasing a blog is that there are blogs that are updated once in a month, anyone can do that right? Don't erase! I'll lunch a campaign, you'll come back one day and continue! Lol.
In the "Archives" of many blogs we can see how many posts there are, there are bloggers that had hundreds in most years, but there was that year begining a new job or dating (maybe) and there were only 3 posts! Nothing wrong with that.
Keep blogging, bloggers! You're gonna love.

I have a few blogs, but I rarely get around to updating them as I am always here in my spare online time!
I also have ten Squidoo Lenses which I keep meaning to update, but again, the days keep going by without me getting around to it. There is always so much to do!

You do not have to be logged in as a Squidoo user to make comments. In the old days you used to, but now you can comment as a Facebook, Twitter member or as a visitor as well as being logged into Squidoo.

oh yeah, great reminder, squidoo is really fun specially for the readers cause for example when we are looking up for a subject, a single page have so many information, links, it's awsome, the only bad thing is that we can't comment without an account, that wasn't smart of them.

Hi katie: I love blogs too. I have three blogs and they are enough for me: one of the blogs is a personal write and I write poems and thoughts on it. The other one is about my favorite band, Starsailor and is like a fan blog and finally, I have a third one and I use it to write about my online investment programs. I publish my results and plans on it. I think it's a great experience to have these online journals.

The good thing that might make you never get bored is that you chose very different subjects, they are all challenging, the personal I think it's always a therapy, it's the kind of the most important and we don't care that much if we have visitors or not, we are just reliefed to put all out, I don't know about you.
Good luck with your blogs, nice guy.

I have something like TEN (four-to-six BlogSpot blogs, one Xomba, Asociated Content, WordPress, and a few I'm not thinking of).
Those last three were started when I was 'in it for the money.' I've realized now that the money doesn't come unless you have faithful friends ... maybe I had realized that before, and I thought, 'where can you find friends more-faithful than in a Christian ministry?'
Well, that was a mistake; Christian ministers these days are ONLY faithful to themselves (not even faithful-to-God, who would have them all in ashes & sackcloth if they had sympathy for what I've been through to save them!)

Sure dear, the best one is Blogger, I mean for beginners and for me (3 years blogger) cause I don't like complications, wordpress is great but the paid version is the real thing that everyone talks about when they are complimenting wordpress.
There are meta blogs, blogs with own content teaching about everything, if you want free templates to make it cuter, darker, to put your personality in there btemplates.com is your site.

I have a couple of blogs and a few Squidoo lenses, which are similar to blogging.
My main blog is my garden blog, and I also have a gaming blog which I haven't posted to in quite some time. I'm thinking of maybe adding some articles to it. I'm really quite proud of my garden blog though. I just picked it up again for the 2011 season, and I'll be adding my third post for this year sometime this week; possibly tonight even.
