Lily raised an interesting point in class ... how many of us started new blogs for this course, even if we already maintain other blogs. I realize that some, or perhaps most, of the class didn't already have blogs, but I actually have two other ones.
Why then, did I start this blog as a separate space?
Well, to be honest, I think it's because I didn't want everyone in this class to be forced to weed through my personal blog updates in search of things relevant to the course. I've had my personal blog since May 2005 and, while my activity on it varies from constant to rarely, I'm fairly sure that I will post more frequently on that space than I probably will on this one.
With that being said, I'm not ashamed of my other blogs ... heck, I wouldn't post anything that I'm not willing to share with the world. You can see my other two blogs by clicking on my profile information on the left of this page.
Someone asked me why I keep a personal blog. At first, I started it as a creative outlet. Now, it is just kind of a place where I can be creative, post some photos I like, and share other things with my friends. I link to my blog in my signature of several message board communities, such as Cruise Critic. It's funny ... I ran into a lady on a cruise once who not only recognized me from my blog, but she also confessed to me that she had actually read through the entire thing (we are talking over 500 posts at that point). Nothing on my personal blog is too special, but I found it fascinating that it was interesting enough for someone else to spend that kind of time on it.
