Blogs

I was so busy traveling that I wasn't able to celebrate the one year anniversary of "The Life of Joey's Girl" Blog. So...Happy Anniversary. It seems everyone has a blog these days and in the past few weeks, a few of my friends have started their own. My cousin Charlton left for Spain Tuesday and he is going to try to keep us all informed of his semester via his blog. My friend Jill and Joe's cousin Morgan will also being trying to tackle the blog world as well.

It is funny because no one really reads my blog except for a select few, but the few that do are very loyal. :) My life isn't that interesting unless I am on a trip or vacation, otherwise my work week isn't necessarily worth blogging about. I try to post something every few days, but sometimes I forget about it for weeks.

Some people blog like a journal; they just say how they are feeling on that day or week in their life. I'm not as comfortable with that, but I think it is interesting to follow a blog for a long period of time and "experience" milestones of others. There are also a lot of political and professional blogs that can be informative or provide interesting perspectives...or they just make me mad.

In any case, last April I started using Google Reader and it is the easiest way to stay on top of all these blogs. It also keeps me organized since I check blogs at home and work and from wasting time with no new posts, etc. I haven't taken full advantage of everything Google Reader has to offer yet and there our many other feeds that do the same thing, but I started with Google Reader and am now invested.

Also, just an FYI that Leep has had her blog since 2000, so we are ALL way behind the times.
