Blogging?

My wonderful son Tevan ask me the other day what's a blog? I mention that it is like an online diary, done on a computer instead of a book so we can easily add photos and make it look pretty. So I starting to show him other blogs and my friend Megan's blog that I follow. He soon released that it is a great way to share ideas and information with family and friends. Next thing it was can I have a blog I could put my lego pictures on it LOL. With a giggle and "I will have to think about it", I managed to sidetrack his mind off the blog topic.

After talking with Tevan my DH starting asking more and more about my ideas for my blog. Questions about the shop blog and why I haven't started it yet? He now understands why I am always asking how to do this on the computer or how to do that. I'm still learning how to do things on a blog before I start on the shop blog so that I can teach the staff to work on it also. I don't understand Html at all and not to bright when it comes to computers. But he also asked do people really look at different blogs or do they only go onto friends blogs? Well that started a whole discussion on things I have seen over the last few months on other blogs and why I love it so much now, but not to sure how you get yourself out in Blog Land? 

See I first learnt about blogs through a customer at Crafty - Julie asked me to order the Somerset Studio Artful Blogging book - ordered in volume 1 had a little look but didn't really take note or understood what it was all about. Ordered in the volume 2 and had a closer look this time and OMG started looking at the blogs listed in the book and have be inspired since. It is amazing how everyone see the world in a different light. Willing to share and inspire others with words of wisdom, creative crafts and unreal life experiences.   Then I decided after talking with Megan - who had a blog already, that I will take the step and start my own blog. Weeks later came up with a name and began to type.   Still working out how to add things to my site so is very much a work in progress type blog at the moment, but having lots of fun learning new things along the way. 

Hopefully soon I will have the courage to start the shop blog... not to sure what everyone will be looking for in our crafty blog but have a few exciting things planned, just got to work out how we do it on the blog side of things.... keep you updated.
