Default QOTD - Blogs - 10.08.15

Do you have one? Can we have a link to it?

Do you follow any blogs? (Link us up to those, too!) What are your favorite kind or type of blogs to read? Any (in)famous blogs you refuse to follow/read? Do you like reading blogs more than you do social media posts or vice versa? Why?

I use to have a blog, (still linked in my siggie - that shows you how old my siggie is!) but pretty much abandoned it when I found facebook. My last post on my blog was July 2012.

Yep I have one, I still post sometimes:
http://mylifeonscrapbooks.blogspot.com/

I follow a few, mostly they're non related scrapbook blog-foodie blogs, photography blogs, educational blogs...
I read them in feedly, easy access. I'm not so sure if I read them more than social media, but I'm always here and on pinterest

I used to have one too, and I even paid hosting for it. But as my priorities changed, I decided to drop it coz I don't have time to spend writing there consistently. I still love to write & share, so I use the opportunities to blog as a CT member.

As for my fave blogs to read, here's a few:

http://wellnessmama.com (full of DIY recipes, I love trying them out)
https://unclutterer.com/
http://www.recyclart.org/
http://decor8blog.com/
http://www.studiocalico.com/

My blog is filled with cobwebs and spiders. I don't even remember the last time I posted to it. It just wasn't for me because it wasn't active for long. LOL!

no blog... I don't read many blogs - I get emails when the blogs I follow have new posts, but I don't use a reader since Google reader was closed. I follow mostly homeschooling blogs...

I used to have my poetry blog. But when I decided to publish, I stopped posting there.

I still have my author/poet blog, but only post during NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month) and do the #30in30 challenge, writing 30 poems for the month of April.

I have had many blogs in my online lifetime. I love to write, I love to share what I do, or sometimes just rant. I have never been good at keeping a steady schedule though, so sadly even blogs that I loved (and still love the idea of) have died out. I do have one blog that is on going, it is my lighthouse Blog. I am on a mission to see as many Lighthouses in my Province as possible (there's nearly 200 of them)and blog about them.... there aren't constant posts, cause I only update when I get to a lighthouse, but it's a pretty good resource to refer to. The last time I was updating it I was adding other points of interest and events that happen in the area (I have a background in tourism, so I like promoting the place I call home Here's the Link - http://nslights.blogspot.ca/ again, it's been a long time since it has had an update, BUT I did just see a new lighthouse this past week-end so there will be a new post super soon!!

As far as reading blogs, I don't normally remember to check on the ones I like.... what I need to do is organize the ones I like and keeps tabs on them all in one spot. I love reading them, I just forget I tend to do more with social media, and when pages I like post that they have a blog update THEN I go visit the blog.... all I need is a friendly reminder I guess.

PS: I'd love it if anyone would take a sec to visit my lighthouse blog... I have an app that collects flags (from countries and states) and love seeing where people are from that visit my blog

I don't have one and don't read any consistently. I follow a few preschool teaching boards on Pinterest whose accounts are mostly links to their blog posts, so when the topic is something I think I could use at work I pop over and read it. Like other people have said, I stopped paying attention to blogs when I started using Facebook. FB hasn't really replaced blogs for me-the blogs I followed were about scrapping and parenting, and on FB I follow relatives and IRL friends-but there's only time for so many electronic distractions if I want to scrap and get things done.

I used to love reading blogs, but when google stopped their reader, I never found a way to read them again the same way and just stopped.
