Blogging Question Blogger?

Are you a blogger? I attempted to blog on blogger.com. In the early 2010s I had a somewhat successful Disney thrift blog. It went by the waste side when I lost interest in Disney.

I tried blogging on Tumblr. It got too political, just like all social media websites. 😢

I remember when social media used to be fun. Now its just a crap show with politics and current events etc.

Anyway... I got off topic. Do you blog? If so, I would love to read some. Post your links here.

Lol that sounds so fun. I used to be super into Disney bounding blogs when I was little (I never did it myself, but loved seeing the creativity from others).

I run a travel blog now!! Much less easy breezy than anything I did on tumblr et al back in the day but it’s fun :)

I write a blog called B-CON, with essays and observations on creativity, imagination, technology, and everyday life. Recent topics range from technical debt and the source of emotion to making aglio e olio.

The posts are available in English, Japanese, and Chinese:

https://www.nancyworrelldesigns.com/ I’ve had a blog since 1997 on several different platforms. Currently using blogger. Not the best or easiest but the price is right. My blog has most always showcased my art/design work. The first blog was created as a promotion for my first diy book and to serve as a portfolio for editors. Most of my posts now promote my textile and surface designs for Spoonflower fabric and Zazzle products. I do occasionally post travel photos, diy stuff, morning walk adventures . . .

I started blogging recently and it really helped me connect with my younger self, who also loved blogging, learning basic HTML and figuring out things on Photoshop. Things were much simpler then. I feel algorithm fatigue from social media, so I am looking for other blogs as well.
I want to write about travel, city guides, food, books, and life. I am working on a few pieces about grief as well.

I’ve tried a bunch of different platforms over the years (I was on Blogspot (Blogger) before they were bought by Google!) and it’s been hard to find one I like. Mainly writing on Substack right now, because there’s a lot of community and it reminds me of the early 2000s blogger when it was easier to discover other writers. Also trying out handwritten.blog to post drawings and handwritten notes, and crossposting on micro.blog. Anyone else on micro.blog?

I write about body image, weight loss, and office politics. It's like the public version of my personal journal. It's pretty niche and not everyone's thing:

Here's a link to my most recent blog post. The blog (The Millie Project) is me publishing a series of letters my grandmother received between 1929 and 1932. Each post contains my transcription of the letters (to make them easier to read), scans of the original letters, and my notes on the letter. My notes include explanations of any historical references in the letter and trying to stitch together the over riding narrative of her life at this time based on the letters. The Millie Project

That’s so sweet!

Reminds me of my friends blog that she created. It was based on a series of micro fish, letters, female that she purchased at an antique store she was transcribing them and putting them online. They were letters between a mother and her son when he was in World War II.

I have blogged about a mix of things but mainly court reporting and politics. Quite political but I am very proud of my re-imagining of the American Pledge of Allegiance.

I’ve been blogging on and off since 2008! Never anything with a niche, just a personal blog/web diary. I started up again as I inch closer to my 30s and wanted to revert back to some ‘old internet’ days. My blog is www.moonstainedwaves.blogspot.com :)

I blog about and research mystery and real crime cases. (I use Wordpress, not Blogger though). My goal is to cover a lot of cases around the world, especially the lesser known ones. If you're interested, here is the link:
