MY Blogging: The Past, Present, Future

I first started blogging with Xanga and that was primarily because my DIL and her family had started sharing about her pregnancy which grew into something more. I then decided that as much as I liked reading their blogs that there were other things I wanted to talk about and felt I couldn't do that with them......so I started looking into other platforms and since I had so much going with Google already I figured I'd keep it all in the family. I quit smoking back in September 2007 and that seemed like a good topic to begin blogging about and I made "friends" and looked forward everyday to the sharing about our common goal to stay free of smoking.

Anyway, I've gotten involved with EntreCard, mostly because I wanted a venue to look/read other blogs and now it's become a job of sorts doing my daily droppings. On the up side, EntreCard has allowed me to start reading some very interesting and captivating blogs. In the beginning, I tried to add 5 new blogs a day and now I'm up to over 200 drops (nothing in comparison to some droppers out there) a day and finding it gives me little time to read all the great blogs I've come across and want to read and comment on and then spending time on my own blog. I almost wish that EntreCard had a drop system similar to Fuel My Blog where you can do all you have listed at one time, therefore giving you the time to go in and read and comment on the blogs you enjoy.

I've read on a few blogs where the blogger has decided to take a break, that blogging has taken over their lives, where they've been fired because of blogging, gotten divorces because of blogging.

I'm looking at the long haul, I'd love to still be doing this into my 70's (I'm 53 now) but not at the pace I'm going at today.

To the bloggers out there - keep on posting, I love reading about your lives and careers.
