I know there are bound to be many of you who keep some sort of online journal/blog of sorts, and would love to have a list of the links so I can follow along when I have time.

My Live Journal (a great free and EASY journaling site if you want to start out) is at http://happy2beso.livejournal.com.

Where are you guys all hiding out?

Yeah, I've a blog. It's not a day-to-day account of my life or anything. It's mostly a site for me to showcase my writing, and to post my observations on my life, and life in general. The link is in my sig.

I think you already found me.

I blog. My Blog
Oh, and since she's in Florida, and thus away from the list this week, I'll answer in behalf of Bethany. But I'll be a stinker and make you follow the link to her blog from my blog. She can post a link herself when she gets back.

I'm actually writing a screenplay right now about these three people who keep on-line journals. It's been a lot of fun to write. I have a crush on one of the main characters, but whatever...

Anyway, my blog, which I'll hopefully be transferring to a better site soon, is lij.crimsonblog.com.

Any chance your blog has been syndicated with an RSS feed on LiveJournal? Mind if I do?

i have been sucked into blogdom.

I'm confused.

Great idea, happy2beso. I love checking out people's sites.

I don't have a blog, but I do have a diary with my brother and sister:

Pocketfood

That is hilarious!

I have a journal on diary-x.com, but I don't post in it as often as I used to. I keep having moments of paranoia when I fear my IRL friends will find it and take my thoughts out of context and use them to destroy me (and this is the RATIONAL-sounding version!), so I've deleted my archives a few times. Oh, and the whole thing is now locked. Not much point to linking to it, then, is there? Oh, well. At least my template is pretty.

i have a blog: http://nathanhart.org/

enjoy.

Hey, H2BS, is there a livejournal community for OTR? There should be.

Welcome Saint Bruce..
I've been checking out your website and noticed your Mom has gone to DR to volunteer...She sounds like a remarkable woman.
You must be very proud.
Stick around the Orchard, new friend...
T xo

Walrus ~ I don't think so. I've never joined and 'fan' communities in the past though, so I'm not sure...there might be and I just wouldn't know it.

I'll give it a look this afternoon.

I'm in a few communities, although some like the Porcupine Tree and Marillion ones don't get posted in very often. If you get a few cool people in a community they can be fun.

And, completely unrelated...Your icon/avatar thing is adorable.

"Blog"... sounds like something terrible that happens to people's arteries. We didn't used to call them that, but I suppose it's easier than "web site thing where I self-publish my semi-confessional writing". Of course, the term "graph narrative" has a nice ring to it, but since it doesn't sound like something malignant invading the body, it won't ever get picked up.

Saint Bruce, your site design is beautiful (and it loaded quickly, for me anyway). Good work, fellow web geek!

I think the most interesting complaint I've heard would be "'blog' sounds like something you'd find in Jabberwocky" -- interesting because my favorite blog to read is http://wockerjabby.com.

I keep a journal of sorts on my webpage: Brandon's Webpage.

I'll definitely have to check some of these out. Thanks, guys.

I hate the word BLOG too, maybe that's why I use LiveJOURNAL for all my writing needs, but it seems that 'blog' is the accepted internet-wide terminology. Still. ICK.

I would happy with completely taking it out of the dictionary.

Freshly updated! New pictures!

My Blog

: )

Can't say I'm a big fan of the word "blog," either ... I am a journalist by profession, and I prefer the word "journal" -- and that's sorta what I think of my blog as, a journal ... but to me, a journal should actually be something you carry around with you, jotting down random thoughts and experiences and what-nots ...

But instead, for that, I use a reporter's notebook. And then tend to forget which reporter's notebook I've written those journal-type things in.

I agree about the word Blog. It sucks, especially because it is a shortning for "web log." How stupidly unoriginal!!! It must have been an engineer who thought of THAT one (the type who thinks that the english language should be replaced with binary).
btw, for any of you engineers reading this, it was more of a mocking of the engineers I work with than a generalization of ALL engineers. Hey, anyone reading this listens to OTR, so they must have some appreciation for language.

You can get to mine by clicking the web button under any post, but for convenience's sake the url is http://sparechange.pulpexplosion.com/.

When talking to people familiar with the whole on-line journaling thing, I say blog, simply because we all agree it's a pretty disgusting word. When talking to people who don't know anything about it, I say on-line journal, because saying blog makes me look like a big dork.

Agreed?

Agreed!

Just thought I would bump this thread to anounce that not only do I still have my xanga acount, but also I now have a live live journal
http://www.livejournal.com/users/edwartica/

Anywya, if any of you want to, add me or something.

I don't have a blog, but my friend Curt does, and it's really cool... Check out The Happy Husband.

Matt

That is a nice site, Matt. Thanks for posting the link!

: )

I have been doing some rearranging/updating on my own journal, finally found a template I like (it looks great on my home PC but not all that great on my Mac at work ... ah, well, all the more reason NOT to be blogging whilst working!).

All My Little Words

I've just discovered that my template looks like crap on firefox. Most of my links disappear. Time for a redesign....

online community of random writers and posters of music and other various things:kiss me like you mean it

i started blogging toward the end of 2004: http://sweetzayne.blogspot.com

maybe i'll include an entry titled "where have they gone?"

while going through older post, it's interesting how many people we seem to have lost out the back door of the orchard. maybe we need to drag the orchard pond for most of them.

peace,
zayne

I got pulled into Xangaland; Tonepoet's home is here.

I gots me a blog too.

One of these days, the blogspotters and the live journalers are gonna have ourselves a big ol' brawl.

Hey now, don't leave out the Xangaites!

I thought I had weighed in on this thread but nonetheless. . .

http://www.bornagainliberal.blogspot.com

the last one is really melanie's blog that she's invited people to write on -- hope that she doesn't mind me posting the link. heh. oh and it's blatantly christian/political content.

Tal,

Just checked out the community blog... AWESOME!!

My Bolg

enjoy.

I'm blogging, too... it's the link in my signature that says "any day a beautiful change." I started it in July of last year (when the media went on and on about bloggers and the election, I jumped on the boat). I'm pretty sure that I have a very small audience but I'm in the process of joining the Progressive Christian Blogger Network so as to get more connected into the blogging community.

I have a livejournal! I actually update it now!

http://livejournal.com/users/liberationparty

You see something like twice as many entries if you're logged in and on my friend's list....

Feel free to visit searching for duende anytime.

i'm working on trying to do something cool w/snapdragon... someday. currently it's just for storage of old posts, stories, poems, etc....

I too have a blog...as of now its simply a place for me to vent online and practice different things in an online forum, however, when i eventually settle on a design for it i hope to host it elsewhere and make it more useful for web design etc.

i think i shamelessly plugged OTR on it as well!!

i wish i could do all of the cool stuff in my template... but i know nothing about html. bah.

oh... and Socal(not Mr. Social) #2... your son is hilarious and sooo cute! I enjoyed reading your blog today. Good luck with everything!

kylie,

i didn't know anything about html at all.. but i started messing around with color codes first, and then once i got the hang of it i have managed to do a wee bit of cool stuff with my template. at least a color combo i like a lot and haven't seen elsewhere. it isn't too hard, especially if you start swiping other people's ideas (not hard to do since you can view the html by clicking on "source" under "view" in internet ex.).
