> [@rjung](#): > > Yep, though I never saw the point about posting the boring, mundane, day-to-day aspects of your personal life. See, I donā€™t post that stuff. I donā€™t post every day, but I have plenty of IMHO non-boring/mundane things to talk about in what is essentially an ongoing public conversation with family and friends. Whatā€™s that saying anyway? If youā€™re bored, youā€™re boring? Then again, some people just arenā€™t interesting. So, donā€™t read their blog. Of course, if you donā€™t like dogs, knitting, spinning, running, and/or dick references, you wonā€™t find my blog interesting. Or you might not like the way I write. Thatā€™s all right with me, but blogs arenā€™t peopleā€™s diaries in the traditional sense as th medium changes the message. Itā€™s more like a digital scrapbook: pictures and links and comments mean that itā€™s a string of connected experiences and feelings and documentation of events or opinions. Although, thereā€™s always someone out there who uses the medium like a digital notebook to keep track of eating habits or what have you, but thatā€™s usually part of a bigger scheme of organisation where they have a goal and are tracking progress. ---

Based on this thread (and a few others), I have joined the [world of blogging](http://silassoapbox.blogspot.com/). Donā€™t read. Iā€™m not an interesting writer nor a profound thinker. ---

Since this thread is revivedā€¦ I donā€™t know why I didnā€™t post this earlier, but [here is my blog.](http://brookenelson.com/blog/blog.html)šŸ™‚ I use blogger but host it on my site. ---

I have two blogs. Oneā€™s my [Regular blog](http://www.chauceriangirl.blogspot.com) and the other is my [OA blog](http://www.blogcharm.com/VirginiaS/). Iā€™m not real great at updating my regular blog, although I try to go in at least every other week or so. I only started my OA blog fairly recently, and Iā€™m finding it very helpful as I try to sort through things in my head. ---

I have a blog, but only two or three people ever read it. And since I talk to them all the time anyway, Iā€™m finding that I post less and less. ---

I have a [Live Journal](http://users.livejournal.com/_foxymoron/) that I update fairly regularly. Iā€™ve posted a few entries on my MySpace blog, too, but Iā€™m just getting started with that one. ---

> [@nyctea scandiaca](#): > > I do, but I donā€™t post anything that is truly private. Basically, I wonā€™t post anything that I wouldnā€™t want my boyfriend, employer, parents, etc. to read. Itā€™s basically a way to keep friends and family up to date on general aspects of my life. But honestly I am really bad about keeping it up, I donā€™t post too often. Are you me? Just take this as my post. Iā€™ve posted more private stuff on the Dope than on that thing. ---

Mineā€™s in my profile, if anyoneā€™s interested. Pretty MPSIMy and rarely updated, but I do have a picture of **Eve** ā€™s dog up on the page. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-here-keeps-a-blog/352063.md?page=2)
