It took me over 12 months from being shown what is a blog to setting up my own blog and wanting to blog. There is quite a bit of difference between Facebook, myspace and blogging. I'm not into Facebook either :) @er1126 It does take time to understand the benefits of blogging.

I would so much rather meet up with friends and talk about topics in person. I really do not understand facebook and myspace. Do people really need to know what I am doing on a daily/weekly basis? I have friends that update several times a day. Are they self-important or just bored? Maybe all of this will grow on me, but then again, maybe not.

I think I might get into trouble if I wrote about films as I love action films. I do have a Clustrmap but it is on The Edublogger. @Dr Davis Thanks for your feedback. I have to say it is all thanks to Ashley. She gave me the idea for the post. Glad to hear you are reading my posts from Alltop and that you are reading Mobile Technology in TAFE so used to people saying they are reading my other blog - The Edublogger (they both have sibling rivalry). @Cathieh16 Thanks for visiting my blog all the way from Canada.

This is Catie from Huzzah and Catie's Blog. I really like your blog (it has alot of posts)! I think that you should write about a movie that you liked or a movie that you really want to see! I am really big on that kind of stuff. I also think that maybe you should get a cluster map, the are really neat! Great Post Cya Hey Sue.

That is great that you will try Freerice, because it is not only fun, but a wonderful help to the ones in need. 3 blogs? :0 OH MY! I wouldn't be able to handle it as well as you are of course. I hope all is going well?Or is it a frenzy? If I were in your shoes, I would have to sadly keep only 1 of the blogs because 1 is enough to handle already don't you think Sue? Check out what the poll results are! You're in for a shock... Nadine @ Sue waters

Definitely will try FreeRice one day but time is the issue. @Nadine Technically speaking I have 3 blogs (but try not to think about that too much).

I agree, writing comments is much simpler because you have what you want to say all written in your head. You have it planned after reading a comment or post! But as for writing a post, it takes much more time to consider every word which could affect your viewers in ways not imaginable. Have 2 blogs would be REALLY difficult! I too would really like to discover how other people manage to write, whether they struggle for their ideas or just type from their minds? :D I think you should have a go at FreeRice because you can donate lots of rice to the poor! It would be a big help for them. Do you think you shall try it some day? Nadine @ Sue Waters

Yep it was considerable time. I keep blogging through it but it definitely was challenging -- probably made harder by having two blogs. Interesting how we approach writing posts in different sequences. Would love to know how others do it. Heard lots about Free Rice but haven't tried it. @Nadine I find it much faster to write comments than a blog post because I worry less about set out and wording.

Thanks for the awesome advice. I can't believe how well you set out your comment, how you write it and think it out. I agree, every word counts when it comes to blogging, and we have to make sure what we write is top quality and interesting or else we shall get NO COMMENTS. :( It always get readers more enthused when you ask them to share opinions or ideas, even ask questions in a post for them to answer! A month! Yikes. That is HEAPS. I suffer only for a few days.. once, I left a post for a whole 2 weeks and everyone thought I was on vacation!! :lol: The blog's going good, I haven't counted the votes yet, but soon will. Make sure to check soon, because the vote results will be up and running. Titles for me come up in seconds. You see, when you have the "Writing Talent" titles become easy. I bet you now wish you were in my shoes, eh? I firstly choose my title, then work on with my writing. That would be the most difficult bit probably. But remember, when you don't have a story to write about, you have NO title. Sue Waters, have you tried the website Free Rice where you donate rice, every time you get a question right, to the poor and homeless in Africa?! Even a teeny bit would help heaps. If you haven't seen it, let me know and I'll give you the website so you can have a look and try to play. I know it sounds unusual for an adult to play a game, but it is to do with finding the meaning of words, they simply ask you what a certain word means and if you get the answer right, you donate 20 or so grains of rice to the poor. If you have seen it, how was it? How much rice did you raise? Was it difficult? Just trying to keep up the conversation (Part of the Blogging Competition! :) ) Nadine Hey Sue Waters!
