This week’s theme for the Blogging Chicks Carnival is “What I love about blogging!” It’s open to ALL women, not just members of Blogging Chicks, so join on in!
I think my absolute favorite thing about blogging is learning about all the different technological things that people are interested in. I’m a subscriber to the RSS feeds of LOTS of technology blogs. I love the fact that I can hear all about the latest tricks with my computer, the newest Treo rumor, and all the shortcuts that can happen with adopting small technological advances.
However, my favorite thing about my personal blog and the blogging that I PERSONALLY do is the relationships that I have found. There are so many interesting people out there who are all blogging, and I have learned so much from them! Lots of these people can be found on my blogroll to the side, but don’t let that fool you - I have about 100 feeds that I receive in my feedreader, and I read them ALL. I know people often link to sites they don’t read, but I am not one of those people. I love keeping track of what people are doing. There are so many times when I’m down and someone will comment on my blog and it will completely change my mood 100%
Thank you so much to all those people out there who keep blogging, despite what is going on in their lives. There is so much that we can learn from each other, and blogging has changed my life. (Man, that sounded way cheesier than I had intended it . . . you get my drift).
So come on! What do you love about blogging?
I'm Lindsey, and thanks so much for stopping by Suspension of Disbelief. I love living in the South. Born and raised in Georgia, live in Florida, school in North Carolina – it just doesn't get better . . .

Can’t say I get the technology thing, though. I’m a total techno-weenie! But I’m learning, slowly.

It has slowly dawned on me that it’s “okay” to love blogging! It’s a hobby & creative outlet for me. I love finding blog kindreds and receiving comments (especially those from peeps who read the entire post, lol, not just try to generate traffic back to their site….guess we all do that from time to time, though).
I’m technically deficient, but I wanna pursue learning more about that side of blogging…any suggestions where to begin? (You said “ask away” in your profile page, so I’m a askin’
).

[...] A bit of an intro here, LOL! So many people responded to my Firefox Extentions post and my Why I Love Blogging post about technical ineptitude that I decided to make up this post about helpful blogging tech-y things. Please note that this only barely scratches the surface (mostly because I am very novice at all this)! If you want clarification on these things, ask! If I don’t have a clue about what you are curious about, I’ll do my best to point you in the right direction ! 1. Get the right blogging platform. Robin over at PENSIEVE writes “I’m technically deficient, but I wanna pursue learning more about that side of blogging…any suggestions where to begin? (You said “ask away†in your profile page, so I’m a askin’ ).” The beginning seems like a good place to start, LOL! And in my opinion, the first technical thing you need to get straight is your blogging platform. [...]
