Hi guys just would love some feed back on my blog as i'm very new to all this.

[Josblueaga]

josblueaga.blogspot.com/ would be so grateful if anyone could take a look.

Jasper, it's just... This is supposed to be a bit of MN to help new bloggers, and if I posted asking for advice and someone replied with "do you think you're interesting?" I'd be a bit gutted.

Normal MN, perfectly acceptable of course and if they're just doing it for site traffic.

I dunno. Is this normal MN, or helping newbies MN, or what?

And the OP hasn't come back of course, which always makes you wonder...

Good point notatschool.

Where IS the OP?

Too many croissant pics, scattered liberally.

Coudn't be bothered to read content. Didn't hook me unfortunately as the first page it too busy

Whoo another night owl :) you can add insomnia to the list of reasons to blog.

I liked your blog SK, I was the commenter with cake stand envy

Commenter? iPad seemed to like it.

Commentee?

arf!

Got your comment and replied. (COMMENTER isn't it? It's, like internet speak?)

I love Robert Dyas

And Lakeland. Sigh.

Lakeland is better than sex.

Goes to bed.

Around here Lakeland is called porn.

And I blog because I packed myself up and moved 3,000 miles and 5 time zones from my nearest family.

And because I'm self centred.

Tee's Blog

Oh, and you can blog to make money, of course.

I have earned £2.20 from my Amazon Affiliate account

£2.20! Be careful you don't get spoilt!

It's not even enough for a book yet

So where is the OP? Very suspicious!

To Jasper: I blog because I like writing and, it appears from my hits, that people like reading what I write! I have a blog about myself as well as my parenting blog, and people are interested in it, comment, converse...and they're not all people I know IRL being nice to me either.

So there!

Shirley your blog makes me laugh and that is good enough for me. Agree re absent OP. perhaps Aga on the blink?

I blog because I have periodically tried to keep a diary because I aspire to be like Kenneth Williams and be able to 'look up' what I was doing on any given day. Perhaps it's my fear of dementia. Perhaps i want to show what i can get up to before the Parkinsons claims me Perhaps I wanted proof I actually finish some of my white elephants stitchy projects. I don't think I'm particularly interesting and only recently went public but ultimately I do it because it's a laugh. Nothing serious. Is that a bad thing? Some seem to think you should be a great writer or have a particularly well formed soapbox. I say step away from the judgypants and lighten up. Me included, sorry, am ranting a bit. Not directed at anyone here I assure you.

Shirley, is saying "I like to party" a bit like saying "I'm really mad, me!"?

Aww Shirley, you name checked me and my blog :)

Hi everyone, thank you for your feed back, not really sure why I started writing other than thought it would be a good way to log my recipes, not great on word, so here seemed an easy place, I thought that's what blogs were little bit about people, a few recipes some pic's, just sort of put down what i'd like to read. Many thanks again for your time and comments. JO

I think blogs are what you want them to be...have fun!!!!!!

Ps, I will try to be better with paragraphs and grammar, really do appreciate everyones comments. Really helpful and insightful replies :)

I blog because I like shouting random chickenny crap in to the ether. And it's a bit like writing a diary. I refer back to various ailments etc and the treatment thereof. And it's good practice for the world changing novel I might get around to eventually

And because she is planning a season of Shakespeare Chicken.

Starring Patchick Stewart and Henneth Branagh.

good on all you bloggers. One day if I have the energy I may join you !
