I’ve been blogging since last April. I got started after I found 5m4m and thought it looked like a good way to cure boredom and meet other moms at the same time. 🙂
I started last year over the 4th of July holiday. My entire family went to the lake to celebrate and I was home alone, babysitting the dogs! I got bored and started a blog!
I’ve been posting since about January (i think) and a friend inspired me.
I started my first blog in September 2007, but it went neglected for nearly a year, then I started blogging again in October of 2008. It is basically a way for me to “escape” and a hobby now. Still I am a newbie and learning a lot about blogging, but I do love it!
I have been blogging since January 2006. I started blogging because to participate in certain knit-alongs a blog was required.
Good question. I started on DeadJournal around 1995 without my parents permission. I then moved to LiveJournal when I realized everyone on DeadJournal was depressed or gothic. I lated moved to Xanga, and I was on Xanga from around 1999 to 2005. In 2005 I entered the world of Blogspot. First with my old account, “Bonds, Elizabeth Bonds.” I deleted that account a while back and now have all of my current blogs.
The reason I started . . . I was a nerdy junior high student who had a computer with internet in my bedroom. LOL. I was able to look things up and find communities. My parents didn’t pay attention to what I was doing. Lucky for me, I never stumbled into anything dangerious or not appropriate for a young girl to view. I have always liked typeing what I think and feel and having people connect with me. At that time in my life, my Mother was suffering big time with mental illness and alcoholism. So, I think I was looking for a place to be honest, since I hid it from kids at school.
I’ve been blogging for about 7 months. I got started because I wanted a place to share pics of the kids with family, I never gave them the link though because I haven’t decided if I’m going to blog about them or not (they’re .. interesting people to say the least, lol.)
I started in November. Mostly because I read other blogs and thought I could do that too!
I started my blog about 11 months ago but didn’t really get into it till after my baby was born. I’ve been posting pretty regularly since jan/feb.
I started as just a way to keep in touch with my family in other states. Now that I have Lily that is more important then ever.
September of 2007. I got started because of the business that I started. I needed to learn more about html and all sort of tech stuff. Blogger was a great tool for me.
I am about 9 months into my blog. Don’t even remember why I started it but I am glad I did.
six months and my children
I have been keeping a sort of blog on my website since I have had a website (since 1997) but I didn’t really start “BLOGGING” until just recently. I really enoy it.
I have been blogging a year in May. I got started because I planned to write a blog about my toddler grandson and me but now it is a review and giveaway blog with some freebies.
I changed because my son did not want me to post photos of his children but I kept the name.
I started around 6 months ago for my paper business…now its never even mentions it LOL
I've been blogging for over a year now. I got started to keep in touch w/ friends & family who live in other parts of the states & Europe.
If you go back to my very first blog, which was located on Yahoo360, I started on October 13 2005. I’ve been at it 3.5 years now. On my Blogger account I have 10 blogs but I dont update all of them all the time. My Main blog has 373 entries on it right now. If you add up all the entries on just my Blogger account (and dont count the entries on my 2 MySpaces), I’ve got over 1200 entries invested on the site (1268 to be exact). I originally started blogging as a way to perform self therapy. In 2003, I ran for my life and stayed in hiding. In January 2005, I divorced my abusive husband (it hadn’t gotten physically abusive …yet. But he was verbally abusive…I was a mental wreck. Some days I still am). In October, I started to blog to get the memories out and help myself work through the pain. I figured if my words could help someone else along the way…then that would be a good thing. If not, then at least it’d help me. It also serves the purpose of keeping everyone updated so there’s no “I didn’t KNOW that was happening!” The blog has expanded from there to having sections for my crafts, Inspirational stuff, jokes, etc.
I started Jiggety Jigg in July 2008 just because I love writing. I had blogged previously on MySpace but I lost interest quickly!
Trying to lose weight is what motivated me initially to start blogging. I have been at this for 1 1/2 years I guess.. I really love it 🙂
I just celebrated by 1st blogivesary. I started to just to keep in touch with family and keep them up to date on our kids. Over the year I’ve learned a ton and made some great friends. I keep it up as a creative outlet and some much needed “me” time.
I’ve been blogging a year this week. Started it originally just for fun, after creating a website for my husband’s business. Let’s just say I haven’t updated his company’s site since 😉
