a view from the other side » Blogging http://www.ihla.com or how I see the world now that I'm over the hill Thu, 01 Apr 2010 19:45:56 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 I’m blogging again! http://www.ihla.com/web/blogging/blogging-again/ http://www.ihla.com/web/blogging/blogging-again/#comments Tue, 27 Jan 2009 01:09:10 +0000 mihla http://www.ihla.com/?p=1 I first started blogging back when they were called “weblogs” and consisted of links to sites of interest. At the same time, I was sporadically posting entries to an online diary. But, by the time the blog boom began, I was no longer part of the online writing in-crowd.

Today’s blogs are a combination of weblogs and online diaries with a bit of commerce thrown in. Some bloggers are making big bucks with ads and affiliate links, and relative unknowns have become blogging superstars.

I held off for a long time, but finally decided to enter the blogging world once again when I joined a journaling group called Monthly Write offered through HeartWriting. In addition to writing in my journal, I’ll be posting my entries on this blog.

On the 27th of each month, I’ll be writing about three topics:

  1. How I’m feeling that day
  2. Three things I’m thankful for
  3. How aging is affecting me

The rest of the time I’ll just be writing about what’s on my mind. At the age of 63, I’ve got a lot of stuff crammed in there, so if you become a regular reader, you’re sure to find something of interest at one time or another.

I won’t try to sell you anything, or change your mind about anything, or even teach you anything, but I hope what I have to say will make you stop and think, even for just a minute.
