| Blogging is a great way to connect with the visitors on your website, especially if they're returning customers. The blog allows you a voice to your audience and shows them that you are a human being as well! The best part about blogs, as you alluded with diaries, is that you can look back and see how your company has grown. |

As a teenager, I often felt an overwhelming urge to write, but couldn’t find anything interesting enough to write about (not that this has changed much over the years) – and it must be for the same reason that I’ve never been very talkative. My tentative incursions into keeping a diary always turned out to be rather fruitless and frustrating. Yet I felt I had lots of things to say, desperately longed to say them, but didn’t know how to come about it. Besides, the little I wrote would soon end up in the wastepaper basket, carefully torn up to bits. A blank piece of paper was and still is a challenge I can’t resist, but am not up to :( .
Now I have to make up for it by writing on these forums, I’m afraid! :) |

| I've kept journals my whole life, and I usually go through two a year. I draw in them, make collages, stick love notes people have given me, write about my day, write about interesting things I see, put quotes, write story ideas, write parts of stories. My notebooks are the most important things that I own. I treasure them because when I reread them, it reminds me of who I was and how I became who I am. My journals are an easy way to see who I am as a person. |

Hi Michael, I think that's the greatest challenge with keeping a diary or a journal - making entries on a frequent basis. When did you start your journal and how many entries have you made so far? Nicole _________________ Life is for living. |

| make entries when you feel like it, doesn't matter if they are weeks or months apart. it is for yourself, so who cares? but it feels so good to have that outlet. |

blogging is great, but make sure you don't mind letting people see WHAT you write - MySpace and the rest of the online journals can't really lock your thoughts up and there's already been cases of students having trouble because they posted pictures of them being drunk and such nonsense.
a personal journal you can at least hide under your bed!
:wink: |

|

Hi, I thought blogging is all about getting read by as many people as possible? A blog is a website so why would any blogger hide what they write? If you really want to keep a personal diary you can use a spiral notebook or a computer notebook that is not connected to the internet. Maybe I'm confusing something here? Maybe there are different types of blogs - those that are public and others that are personal? _________________ Life is for living. |
