Well I have blogged on and off and I really want to start blogging for other people to actually read my blog. :-) I have one that is more like a diary but I have another one that is for homeschooling tips, housekeeping,organizing,budgeting,etc...

 So, the question is...Do you blog? If so do you care to share the link to your blog and a little bit of info about it.

 Also, if you are an experienced blogger do you have any tips and/or suggestions on a having a successful blog?

I've done it on and off as well, but haven't done anything with my blog since I've discovered gather. www.mydenrocks.blogspot.com

I have a poor, neglected Yahoo 360 blog. It's private, though, or rather for friends to view only.

I used to but I don't anymore.

I started one, but never kept up with it.

Too much other stuff to keep up with. It's a wonder that people get anything done, with as much time they spend on the internet. Kind of like wtching tv, or playing video games. It amazes me, now that the internet is what it is, and how it has become a major part of our lives.

I say no but I'm told typing here is blogging but I think that's wrong. So if this isn't bloggin gthen No

Randall I agree we have too many distractions in our lives.

I think that if you blog and want to develop a readership, you need to blog regularly. I have a number of blogs, two of which I keep more up to date but I haven't been blogging regularly because of a number of things (a death in my family and pre-planned trips for and with my daughters). So now I am having to start all over again with my readers.

Well, I have a blog...on homeschooling, even!

What do you define as a "successful blog?" Are you talking earnings? Page rank? Traffic? Or the ability to really connect with a few people?

What you should do to attain that goal will depend a lot on what your goal actually is. But mostly I would encourage you to just get involved in the blogging community, leave comments, link to posts you like, be a part of the conversation and stick with it. It generally takes time to build and audience but if you stay reasonably focused and maintain contact with other bloggers, an audience will come.

I just started blogging recently. I have been blogging on and off for a few years, but this time I want to keep up with this blog. I don't have a specific theme, I just write whatever comes to me. So far I have made two entries. My blog address is stoplistenwrite.blogspot.com

I've done it off and on but nothing regular. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting to Point Karma! Have a great day!

yep. I just started after taking a few years off from my last one. I found I really missed it. I'm not trying for lots of readers or anything, I mostly just want it to be my journal that isn't on paper where nosy kids can find it. :) Mine is listed at thefabulousmrsc.typepad.com

I have FOUR blogs, actually! The first one is a topical blog about children's issues: http://theyreourchildren.blogspot.com.
Then comes one that is more like a diary: http://adhdangel.blogspot.com
Next is my reading blog, which I use for my Bookwise business: http://angelloves2read.blogspot.com
Finally, my newest blog, Adventures of a Stay At Home Auntie, is at http://www.blogchex.com/heynicki
As you can see, I'm sort of addicted to blogging!

Hello :o),

I just wanted to stop by since I am finally going through what is now listed as under 5,200 pieces of gather new mail that is sitting in my inbox on here.

With that mentioned I just came across either a mailing from you yourself, or someone else brought this piece to my attention. You or they felt that your creation should be shared with the gather community, which I am very glad that it was passed on to me to view. So I wanted to say Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to publish it here on gather for us to all view. :o)

As well before I leave you I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year... in 2009 :o)
