I have a blog about redecorating my home (French-ish shabby - DIY stuff). I have 28 followers - I don’t know whether to be pleased or embarrassed.

I would probably have more followers if I my photos didn’t stink.

Contributed at one point to a group blog on the Middle East & related subjects (among the authors were some other dopers and at least one notable ex-doper - was not myself on the straight dope at the time). I haven’t posted there in more than 5 years, basically since I left Lebanon; the blog itself was briefly revived during the excitement in Egypt but at this moment the most recent post is from March of this year.

Come now, creating Web images that have any odor at all is an achievement! 😃

Seriously, though. I dropped my primary camera & now the pictures come out weird. I have a 2nd camera I won at an art show - I have to get a memory chip for it and that will solve the issue, I think. I just need to find the time.

Caveat - I’m in the _very_ early stages of doing stuff. Teaching myself furniture painting and copying things I’ve seen on other blogs. And as indicated above - photos stink 😛

I have an art blog (fine arts, photography, music, etc) and a more mixed type blog, often for things that may put a smile on your face. Both are updated daily.

I’m a concert photographer who also likes fashion, and my blog is the funnest thing I’ve ever done, stats watching is a blast. I get music from record labels before it’s released, so I have lots of new music and gossip too.

…here’s mine: its a commercial photography site, but trying not to make the blog to commercially. Not very exciting stuff yet. But I’m increasing my blog rate this month: and gonna focus on the images so I don’t have to write too much!
