Just starting to figure out where I belong in the blog world

I have about 20 blogs I read daily...and when I first started I figured I needed to be what they were....but as I go along...I've figured out I need to be who I am...just that. Get your own style..yadda yadda... some of the blogs I read, are very serious and make you cry, and then there are the ones that make me laugh...and then there are the ones that are just daily life...sorta like Seinfeld, not about anything in particular. This week I read (sorry I don't know how to do links yet)..Audience of One....which I really enjoyed. His life is just beginning over after the break up of his marriage...so it's a bit sad, but he has such a wonderful outlook, and good friends on blogger as well. Of course I have to mention Mary Lou LIFE AFTER NEXCOM..somehow through the blog surfing I chose hers...don't know why...just clicked on..and liked it a lot...and BTW..she helps me out every now again...(nope..not kissing A**) LOL. and Mary Lou .btw..the reason I stopped in at your site is that your pic reminded me so much of Auntie Betty..

Lets see who else I read...I have to go back into fav's to remember...there is

Gemmak's Blog - wonderful pic's of Scotland...I don't know why she wants snow!!

Andie Pandie -who just lost her fav cat Jingers...and she throws in a recipe every now an again

A wacky southern housewife...she has a wonderful sense of humour (canadian spelling)

The Homeless Guy ....he is homeless and an advocate for the homeless...

What's up down south...very funny lady...

The crazy world of a RN - She is struggling through divorce and making her own way in the world an donating her kidney to a friend.

Shaking a fist in impotent rage at the sheer malignacy of fate since 1971 ...she just makes me piss my pants...she is so funny and "smart"...and she also comes from Winnipeg...so I am a little biased...she know's who she is...and doesn't take any crap..

Living in Egypt...she is a really intelligent Canadian woman who is making her home in Egypt after the death of her husband....and all the trials and tribulations that go with it. Very inspiring.

I do a few mommy blogs too...I love Dirty Olive....great sense of humour, and struggling through the new mom years...

A Lumbering Soul...."Faith" a recovering Alcoholic...and her struggle to stay sober..

It's funny when you actually get on one site and you see who they read, you go there, and find a good one that you like..and on and on it goes... it's like a disease.............it just gets passed on.

oops almost forgot to mention two great girls...The pondering of a princess and Tramps like us...

I am loosing my blogging virginity....I am starting to get it...I will just be myself...even if I have to bore you with recipes....pictures of my dog.. or any of my deceased pets..which reminds me I have a huge blind fish....it hard feeding him...I gotta get the food right in front of his face...poor little guy..but thats another post.

I'm done....good thing I don't have anymore days off....I'm starting to bore myself....

On a side note...Mr. Plow boy just pulled up the driveway...an hour late for supper, he had to replow all the stuff that was plowed last weekend at his shop. CAN'T WE JUST HIRE SOMEONE TO DO IT?.. noooooooo...

otta here :)

ok To link (it is really easy!) while you are still in blogger and have not published yet, highlight the word you want linked to. such as MARY LOU then go up to the do-hickie thing that looks like a teeny pair of binoculars up next to the spell check thingie. click on that and a pop up box opens. in it you type the whole URL of the place you want to go. and then just hit enter and VOILA!! I usually go to my favorites list wait until the url shows up, and then edit and copy it then in the link thingie I just edit paste, and it is done! try it.

Did you get Hello figured out yet. let me know....

Hi Mary Lou..I am not too sure if I should post my comments on my blog or yours...I don't have your email address..so Yes, I got Hello going, but still having probs with getting more than one pic per blog..between HTML..links...and the sidebar...I am so lost. Did I loose a few brain cells in the 60's?..hmmmmm..I thought I was compuer literate...not so...I will try the link thing later on. I still have your instructions for posting pic's right beside me here...I can post one per blog, but I can't get more than one working. I will not let this defeat me.... and a friend has sent me another set of instructions on how to put the sidebar stuff up...I don't know...I think I need some serious
intervenion...How did I get this dumb..after using computers for 15 years....well, I guess the answer is ..I need a tune-up...replace the some of my valves..give my "head" as shake... a new muffler..(too many beans).. not to mention my tires...just a little worn..

LOL...feeling sorry for meself...I will get it...just you wait...thanks for your help.
