Let's Blog!
Welcome once again friends to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 and how about talking about blogging this week since it's something we all do anyway.
Get yourself a cuppa, come sit down at your computer and let's think about blogging for a bit....
Blog is short for Weblog, a log or diary on the World Wide Web or internet. Your journal or diary can hold personal stories, ideas, opinions of all kinds and can be private or public as you wish. It is an excellant way to document your life or interests.
1. Why did you begin blogging?
My niece mentioned she was blogging and I had no idea what she was talking about but she showed me her site and I thought "if she can do it so can I". So I had a go and found I enjoyed it. I started off trying to copy her upbeat style but decided that wasn't me and so now it is more "me".
2. What benefits does blogging offer you?
It keeps my brain active. I'm at an age where the words don't always come as easily as they used to so I need to keep it exercised. And I get to interact with people from all over the world - how cool is that?
3. Have you made friends from blogging?
I like to think so. I appreciate when you take the trouble to comment and although I've never met any of you I look forward to reading what you've been up to and how you're faring in your corner of the world.
4. Where do you get ideas for things you blog about? Do other bloggers influence you?
Sometime other bloggers will give me an idea but I like to take my inspiration from what is happening around me including what is going on with the family. And I do enjoy taking part in a collective blog like this occasionally, it makes me think!
So if you want to join in or read what others have to say join us here at https://tuesdaysplace.blogspot.com/
see you in a few days,
keep well,
have fun

I've been blogging for so long now, I hardly ever stop to really think about. I would say I like to blog seasonally, in tune with the seasons and the holidays.

I've been blogging for almost 20 years and I like that it's a diary of sorts, I can look back and see what was happening. Because I post recipes, it's also a good place for me to find them. But the best part is as you said, getting to know people all over the world!
ReplyDeleteI started blogging about 15 years ago had a stop and started again five years ago.
ReplyDeleteLike Mary I think it’s a kind of diary and I like to interact with people from different parts of the of the world. And for my brain activity ! Good to remember my English vocabulary !
It really is a good way to exercise the mind! I am so glad you join in for Tuesday 4!!
ReplyDeleteI have been blogging for 19 years, it's a diary of my days, sometimes more than one post is posted per day. Depends on what I have been up to. I share the many photos I take, with the hope that people will reconnect with nature. My blog has evolved over the years, can't imagine that I would ever stop blogging now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Such interesting answers and comments.
ReplyDeleteMy blog started in 2009 as long online letters to keep my family in touch. No photos. Nowadays it's a lot of photos with a bit of commentary
DeleteDiana, I really enjoyed reading about why you began blogging and how it has enriched your life. I feel much the same way as you.
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun Tuesday 4 and I enjoyed learning about how you started to blog! Blessings!! xo
ReplyDeleteI've been blogging many years now and it is part of my day. It is mostly a journal of my morning walk. I've been privileged to meet some bloggers in person! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this! I started blogging in 2012 to 2017 at my old blog, Linda's Peaceful Place. I had no computer for more than 7 years and lost access to my old blog.
ReplyDeleteI began this new blog at the end of March this year. I am so grateful to have found many fellow bloggers from my old blog as well, and have gained some new followers. I enjoy blogging and there are so many nice people.
Hi Diana, thank you for visiting my blog. You are right, blogging is good exercise for the mind and our memories. I just have to take a lot of breaks because I can't sit for long hours. I think it is good to blog they it works for you. I like your family picture on the side post.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your answers. It's always fun reading what other peoples share.
ReplyDeleteNice to read your answers.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
