I Love Blogging
Heh, heh, heh... if there's one thing I do well, it's talk. THat seems to translate well to the Internet where I can chatter endlessly whether anyone is listening or not. However, I do find it easier to blog when I picture that I am talking to someone.
I first started using Blogger to update my what's new page. It made it so much easier to blog it than to redo a page. I use it for my what's new page and my index.html page.
Then a friend of mine had Internet but couldnt' figure out how to set up her e-mail account. So I started the Dear Friends blog so that I could write to her and she could read it online (eventually we got her set up with Hotmail, but the Dear Friend blog remains... although I haven't been too consistent writing in it since...)
The Perils of Pamela blog started when I was trying to explain to the repair shop what was wrong with my computer. I kept a log of the problems and they could print them off when I took my computer to the shop. It reminded me of the Perils of Pauline... thus the name.
Now when I see a graphic design set that I just HAVE to have.... I start a new blog. That's where Blog News came in. I thought the country graphics were so cute, and the title said "Welcome to my Blog". This blog is woefully out of date. I haven't converted it from shtml to php yet, but it is on my to do list. I intend to use this blog to talk about blogging in general and my reaction to it. I love blogging.
I was going to buy the blognews domain, but by the time I made up my mind to do it, it wasn't available anymore.
So I bought blogalaska.com instead.
I have actually made a blog for each month of the year where I intend to talk about the weather in Alaska each month (a question I get asked a lot), and then have photos of the area during that month. Why 12 blogs? Well, I want the graphics of each month to match my Fairbanks diary entries. For example, compare:
http://pamelajoy.com/m06jun.php
and
http://pamelajoy.com/alaska/fairbanks/m06jun/
When I finish the month project, I intend to tie it in with BlogAlaska. I did happen to make the graphics on the June blog. I made them when I was using a 480 X 680 resolution... and at the time I didn't know how to not make it repeat... so it looks rather busy to me. I'll change it someday maybe when I get caught up with all my other projects!
I like using blogs to add content to my site... which now has well over 1200 pages as a result. It makes it easier to update and to move the content to a different server when I needed to.
