I’ve had a LiveJournal for 10+ years, but it’s mostly a personal and fandom thing which is why I’m not linking it. LJ is pretty much the hub of my internet dealings, but for my friends page (including rss feeds) not my entries.
Yep! I actually updated it today, too, which is practically miraculous: Sugar & Wool.
As the name implies, it’s my knitting and baking blog. Mostly baking, since baking projects don’t take NEARLY as long as knitting projects. And I keep meaning to add sewing and weaving posts, too, but haven’t gotten to it yet.
It’s sporadically updated, but please leave me comments if you visit!
About two and half years ago, I was inspired by The Damned Utd to write a non-fiction book about an English soccer team’s 1973-74 season, despite having no background whatsoever in sports journalism or any inside connection to the team. I spoke informally to a couple of agents about the book’s prospects and they both recommended that I start a blog about soccer in order to establish some credentials for writing on the subject.
And that’s how This Day In Football History was born. Every day, I publish a post about something related to soccer that happened on that day in the past. It’s been fun and I’m actually making a little bit of money from it, especially after a writer for the Guardian identified it as one of the top 100 football blogs to follow in 2011.
Meanwhile, I’m plugging away at the book and am about halfway done with the first draft.
I have two as well, although I haven’t been able to update either one as often as I’d like: not in the last 2-3 months.
#1: Call Center QA Blues, started while I was working QA in my call center. There are some absolutely hilarious stories in there.
#2: Mom to the Human Pincushion, about life with a child with type 1 diabetes. There are occasional other rants in there as well. Our daughter called herself the human pincushion after she was diagnosed: hence, the name of the blog.
I’ll probably spend the rest of my life in this thread. I love blogs. In fact, I get heartbroken when someone has a blog that totally captivates me…and then the postings stop.
I get heartbroken a lot.
Of course, I have one. My Journal: http://voweaver.livejournal.com/
It’s many things: what’s going on in my life, my musings, and it has grown to encompass family stories. Both of my parents are gone now, and it’s important to me to record my memories of them, so my children can read and re-read to their hearts’ content. I have a granddaughter now, who is named after my mother. One day, I’d like her to read the stories about her name source.
At this moment in my life, I’m desperately trying to accept the fact that a once-close friend is now apparently ignoring me. So this wealth of blog links is the perfect antidote!
Enjoy! I know I will!

I feel like a jackass because I just created a thread about my blog here a few days ago. It quickly vanished to the abyss of the second page without generating any interest, so I suppose I might as well [strike]shamelessly self-promote[/strike] discuss it here too.
1000 Hours – After years of avoiding blogs altogether, I decided to create this to accompany my recent musical quest: to practice guitar for 1000 hours in the next year. There are only a handful of posts thus far, but I’m sure there will be plenty of fun life lessons to be learned along the way.
I’ve had an LJ for more than a decade which is dormant now and has been for a few years. Mostly bitching about stuff, really. Kind of funny. Set to friends only so no sense linking to it.
I recently started a blog to record the progress of Ben’s mom, who recently suffered stroke activity following a ruptured aneurysm and is in ICU, as a way of 1) keeping record for her perusal later, should she choose to read it (and assuming she’s able…) and 2) to keep extended family/friends up to date. Plus it gives me something to do so I don’t sit here feeling like I’m doing nothing at all. 
During a serious bout of depression, I started blogging for a few months earlier this year as an attempt at self-therapy. It helped a lot! I mostly just rambled about my life, nothing that would be super interesting. Just a public journal that a handful of friends read. It’s the only blog I’ve ever really maintained, but it dropped off after a few months when I no longer “needed” it … I posted occasionally as a “note to self” kinda thing, but have started using an actual note-to-self service (springpad) instead.
I also started a blog to document my attempts at weight loss, but I approached it wrong (writing about weight loss concepts generally and ignoring my own story). It fizzled. I intend to restart a weight loss regimen soon, and I think I’ll restart the blog then with a new title and a focus on self-documentation.
I’ve been intending to try and start a humorous, snarky hipster blog, but I have trouble approaching it. There’s a chicken/egg issue where I keep trying to find a theme before writing content – and then having trouble generating content. I’m kinda intending to reboot it as a personal / humor thing, but I’m hesitant to do so until my circumstances improve. As optimistic as I am, I’m worried anything I write right now will come out like pure kvetching.
I found this through the SDMB a couple of years ago and am a big fan. I recommend it to all SDMB’ers.
In fact, I do. I had a LiveJournal that I kept off and on for about a decade, but recently decided that some of my writings were destined to be public. I’m slowly writing, re-editing and generally cleaning things up for my new home at blue line to wonderland.
Edit: Of course, when linking to my writing blog, I not only manage to botch the URL, but also some of my spelling. Hello, Gaudère.
I have a little one, that’s following my explorations in textile arts. I’m not very wordy, so it’s mostly pictures: http://blog.gatheredthreads.com
I have a dumb question - how do you get started blogging? I’ve kinda wanted to start one about heritage buildings in my city. Calgary changes so much, so quickly that I’d like to document and comment on it.
I seriously have no idea where to start.

I got a blogging friend to help me get started, but it’s ridiculously easy. You go to blogger, or wordpress, or whatever you pick, click the big huge button that says “Make a new blog” (or whatever), and follow the instructions.
Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle! That does look ridiculously easy.
Now all I have to to is come up with something to say. That might be the tricky part.
It doesn’t stop some of us! 
I have a genealogy blog. I started it to practice writing because someday I’d like to write a book. Also, it is a good way to keep track of my research and hopefully hear from others who have looked into the same lines or sharing experiences.
Threatening Love Letters, my blog is about…stuff. the explanation for the name is here
I post song recs monthly, review the occasional book or movie, post the stories from our writing workshops in CS…and whatever else happens to be in my head, like lyme disease, or temporarily being orange in hue.
Out of curiosity, can you read the last line in the banner?
left: Baby. Love me back
right: you can’t run from me If anyone wonders about the disjointedness, it’s supposed to be pages from two different letters, not a continuation from left page to right.
I’m still trying to decide on a domain name 
In the meantime I just have a a tumblr of turtle things at jackdavinci.tumblr.com
Anyone know if there is a way to have more than one tumblr blog without finagling a bunch of different email addresses?
Missed this one.
I actually have two, they are twin sites and I blog about the same thing in two languages: Dominican Cooking and Cocina Dominicana.
10 years at this. I can’t believe it.
I have two, though I don’t update one anymore. One is a journal, and i just use it as a journal, marking daily occurences. The other I wrote when my mom died, to deal with the attendant emotions.
My regular journal is f-locked, but the other is open for viewing. And yes, i am still on Live Journal - i see no reason to change, since it works for me.
