So I got a blog to get my feet wet in cyberspace and build a bit of name recognition that I could hopelly transition over to the website when I got it up. Now I blog for fun. Because I like it, and I love the people I've met/made friends with in the blogosphere. I still hope to transfere traffic to the website, but that's now secondary. :-P I bought a FP template last year (about this time, I think) I had planned on putting up a website, but then decided to wait until I had a sale, because I didn’t want to have this *stagnant* site up were there was nothing happening.

He then saved the bitmap as an icon. Maili, To answer your question, dh took a piece of my photo and resized it to 16 by 16, then saved it as a bitmap. He then saved the bitmap as an icon.

I love the blogger community. It seems even more tightknit than some of the writer’s groups.

The plan was to write in it once a week, but I got hooked pretty fast. *blush* I love it when people comment on my posts and and actual discussion blossoms. I love it when I post news and people respond. I can go to work and say "Hey, I got my very first cover with only MY NAME on it." and everyone just says "Oh Yeah? Nice." and walks away. The people that come to my blog help celebrate the small victories as well as any big ones. I like the support and 'family' feel I get from it.

I mean, do you upload it into the public folder and let browsers pick it up somehow? Either way, it's very impressive. :D I think you're the first romance author who has this up! Congrats! :D [To those who have no idea what I'm babbling about - look at the URL address in your web browser ... see that little pix? That's Jordan! :D] Oh, you flatter me. :) BTW, how did you get that favicon up? I mean, do you upload it into the public folder and let browsers pick it up somehow?

I started blogging a year ago. It was a good way to put my thoughts out into cyber-space. For the longest time I don't think anyone read it. {laughing} It was for me. Where I deliberated on the universe and how many days it takes mold to form in the refrigerator. I've met some great people through blogging. It really is nice to know you're not the only one pulling your hair out at a unforeseen plot twist. Great question. Sam Wow, good question. I started blogging a year ago.

And partly because I don't like message boards and lists, but I want to network and mingle with other authors and writers. So blogging was the perfect solution. I LOVE the blogging community. And I've found some AWESOME friends through it! I started a blog partly, like Steph, to bring people back to my site.

I actually enjoy it. I just rattle on about what's going on in my life (just a little) to what projects I have in the works. Really, whatever is on my mind. I'm not much on political conversations, and I don't feel it's my job to teach in my blog (I have articles on my website, 'nuff for me!). I just enjoy it. It's a break, and I've been surprised with the friendships and acquaintances I've developed in the very short time I've been blogging. I think I started in Sept. Anyway, it's just fun for me. :-) Blogging…it’s my webmistress’s fault. ;-) She thought I needed one, I didn’t think I’d have anything to say, but here I am. I actually enjoy it.
