To Blog or Not To Blog?
Some sites have a Blog section.Ive often thought that some people on here who post daily about their health and work and life issues would be well suited to Blogging.
Have you ever run a Blog?
Its a bit like keeping a diary I suppose, but one that you share.
If there was a Blog section would you use it?

Firstly so my kids knew where I was and what I was doing.
Secondly to stop my habit of keeping a travel diary something I have done just about all my life. My bookshelves are cluttered with old notebooks stuffed with receipts, brochures, boarding passes and a written record of all the places I have visited over the last 60 years.
My blog is much easier to keep, takes up a lot less room and is far more accessible:

Yes I've seen blogs or diary's on another forum in the US. I have tried to start keeping a private online journal just recently posting about my day, thoughts and also adding photos. The trouble is if no one sees it and talks to you about it what's the point. Its communication that I need, which reminds me I need to PM someone.I think if we had one here you would need to have it for members only to read unless you decided to make it public like you can do with your profile.
It might be a little difficult though as you may not want to publish intimate thoughts., but then again that's just me talking and I've come out with at least a couple of personal posts that afterwards have embarrassed me terribly a day or so later. Sorry 😞
Also it might be awkward if I made a blog and suddenly realised no one was actually interested in my boring little life. 😁

Nobody would be interested in my life
And to be honest, I'm not sure I would want to know too much about other peoples beyond what we already post on here.
You can get too much of a good thing!
I keep a written diary for posterity although that's just full of my rants and moans

Besides which, I find hearing about the minutiae of people's lives intensely boring, just as they would find mine yawn making.

I'm not sure whether it would be very different, do you think?As Ruthio says, a lot of people write about their daily adventures anyway, especially in the 'Chit Chat' and 'Good Morning' threads, don't they?
I think unless you do wildly exciting things every day of your life, it could be rather boring reading. If we mostly only go to Tesco, or walked the dog, or go to visit relatives, we often write that anyway.
So I guess personally, I can't see the point. In fact I am not sure whether I'd feel it a little pompous of me to presume anyone wants to know what I do every minute anyway - I might be worried I'd got a stalker if they did.
