I don't like posting and not getting any feedback. If I do a status update on facebook, I get tons of commentary and feedback. I like having blogs to keep in touch with people, but not if people never reply to what i say. I don't want to write a book about myself, I want to talk to people about what's going on.
So, this post is mostly to say that I won't really be posting on the blog anymore. Maybe I'll get the sudden urge to again, but If you want to know what's going on with me, you will be more likely to find updates and pictures on facebook.

I understand... I'm sorry to see it, but I get it. I don't like facebook as much, you can't go into as much detail because then everyone can see it and I don't feel like everyone is as interested in what I have to say as the family and friends who see my blog. But then I also don't feel like I want to post everything on my blog that's gone on because I don't know who can access it. So how do you do that "private" thing?
ReplyDeleteum, you do it through the settings somewhere, where you log in to do you posting. You should do it if it will make you update more :)
ReplyDeleteSomeone will have to show me how. And is it true that facebook will start charging $3.99 a month in July of 2010? I saw that on someone's status, but I don't know if I believe it.
ReplyDeleteuh... I doubt it.

I'm sorry! I like reading the blogs, and I like that not everyone knows what is going on with me, like they do on facebook. Can't gripe about work on facebook, I'm friends with too many people, including my boss, and though he's cool, he does have a job to do.
ReplyDeleteI think I figured it out (making my blog private.) Either that or it's all deleted. Heh...
ReplyDeleteIn defense of any lack of feedback on my part, I've been looking at a wordpress page every time I check on you, which has not included much in the way of updates. :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, I understand where you're coming from. I like FB, but I don't think it fills quite the same role for me that a blog does. Still, neither one is much fun unless people respond to whatever you say.
Carolyn, your little countdown thingie isn't updating with my latest post. Just an FYI. I think pretty much everyone has figured out that I have new posts, but it still says my latest post was 5 months ago.
ReplyDeletehuh... weird. I dunno why.
ReplyDeleteI think it's because the blogroll widget doesn't receive updates from private blogs.
ReplyDeleteIf other people's blogrolls are getting updates though, then mine should too, right? Are other people's getting updates?
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I feel kind of deflated when nobody comments on my blogs. I feel that either nobody is bothering to read it or they didn't like it or it was boring (sort of like this comment). But DON'T GO! I'LL START COMMENTING, I PROMISE! By the way, I put a picture of Alice on my last blog! Did you see it?
ReplyDeleteI think you should still update, honey. I know it's frustrating when there aren't any comments, but I also think that family and friends have realized this and have rallied to make the posts more interactive. There are just too many things that I would not post on facebook. Especially now that my blog is private. Of course, there are very few people who now read my blog, but my guess is the people I invited were the only ones who read it in the first place.
ReplyDeleteBut the little one-liners on FB are tidbits. The meat and potatoes are on the blogs. There's no way I'll pour my heart out on FB.
Maybe I will... I have a hard time thinking of stuff to write sometimes when my day is the same over and over.
ReplyDeleteWell, the cute Alice stuff that you post on Facebook is buried there. I see blogs as more of a journal. Once it's scrolled by (which can be only a matter of hours on FB) it's gone and finding it can take forever. Where's the record and what if you want to read it in a year?
ReplyDeleteLove you. Looking forward to seeing you next week.
yeah, I agree. That's why I started a blog in the first place. I think I will probably start again just when the time is right and I have stuff to say.
