I really love looking at blogs. I am glad you started this topic.

littlehud 06-15-2009 04:26 PM

OK, I'm not even sure I know what a blog is. Explain please.

And another favourite one is from a gal I met through blogging and I really enjoy reading her blog

I've heard a blog described as an online diary.

oooooooh awesome blog!

Lacelady 06-17-2009 07:38 AM

I have one I signed up for eons ago, but it was so un-user friendly, that I abandoned it. Can anyone recommend and easy to use one, that is also easy to post photos, like this board is? I would really be interested in that.

Lisa T 06-17-2009 08:02 AM

sunnyhope- I added you to the blogs I follow. Cute blog! I wish I had started one when I first started quilting so I had a complete record of everything I have made.

littlehud- A blog is sort of an online diary like liwilliams said. That is how I use mine. It is a public "page" of your own that you can use however you like to post pictures and/or essay-like or note-like posts. Some people use it to get their name out there for their business, some use it to update their families, some use it to connect with other people.

I use mine almost solely for quilting, but some pics of my cats and kids work their way in. I started one to join a challenge and then liked it so I kept it up. I have connected a lot of awesome quilters with my blog. Some people like a lot of traffic through their blog. I don't really care how many people SEE my blog, but I like when the ones who stop there leave a comment. I try to always respond to comments with an email. This is a great way to make friends.

Lacelady- I do my blog through blogger. I find it fairly user-friendly. Here and there you will have a day when you can't rearrange pictures, but I haven't had that problem in a while. If you just want to put pics online, you can put them on Flickr. I have a Flickr account and you can join quilt groups on there.

Here is my blog and a couple of my favorites:

I have lots of others that I like, just tried to pick the ones who mostly have lots of quilt pictures.

Lacelady 06-17-2009 12:55 PM

Thank you Lisa T for the info - I was stunned that you follow 66 Blogs - do you have time to eat or sleep? Not to mention make quilts.

Annie B 06-17-2009 01:13 PM

Thank you so much for following my blog; it really means a lot to me that someone actually are interested in what i am doing so a big thanks and a cuddle to you :wink:

sunnyhope 06-17-2009 04:11 PM

I also added ur blog to follow Lisa as u were so sweet and did it with mine :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
I am really greatful for that and the comments i have received lately as no one came on my blog even if i asked and i dont know its just i have this need of other ppl than my mum and my bestfriend to tell me i m doing ok.
They always love anything i do and while thats great i also want to get better which i dont when they never say well you can perhaps change this and it will look even better.
Do you have this problem with your close ones???

MadQuilter 06-17-2009 04:16 PM

Every once in a while I go to the quilting gallery to see what's going on in the world of quilting. I usually pick a country or a state, and hunt and peck just for the fun of it.

I really loved your blog too and ofcourse i will return the favour and follow you too :mrgreen:

BellaBoo 06-17-2009 04:56 PM

When I want to read about a new quilting too, new fabric lines, find a quilt pattern or see pics about a new technique I always search the blogs first. Google has a search just for blogs.

LOL! I am a really fast reader. Plus, I am only working very part time right now and am stuck in the house with 2 little kids. Although, now we are spending more time outside, since it finally turned "summer" up here in the U.P.

Even with all those blogs on my list there are only about 10 new posts a day, so it's really not that much to read. I do notice that if I have no computer or internet for a couple days I get a LOT more done as far as quilting (and maaaaybe some cleaning... if I'm REALLY bored).

Actually, I am the "quilt police" at our house. LOL! My whole family quilts-my mom, sister, aunts, cousins, now my new SIL- and I was recently surprised to hear them refer to me as the "quilt police". My mom said that I always check her quilting for mistakes. I DO NOT!! (She never makes any. I am always admiring it because it's amazing.) But they tease me for being a perfectionist.

I am my own worst critic, but I always am so impressed with what other people do. We notice our own mistakes much more than other people notice them!

Lisa T 06-17-2009 08:20 PM

Oh! And you don't have to add me just to return the favor. I totally understand if my stuff is not to everyone's liking- I like kinda "wild" quilts. :-)
