Blogs are all sorts of thing to all sorts of people. It interesting to see mudcatters using blogs to tell stories, I guess we are inherently story people, that is what attracts us to these forms of music. As far as stories go I'm only a consumer or possibly a reteller in song form but I'm enjoying reading all these blogs.

Well, it's not really a blog....but a networking site for artists, poets, and musicians in general area....I do have some of my photos and writings there:

Thanks, Simon. I'm still working on my blog, but I don't expect it to be alot more complicated than it is. I appreciate your reading my stories. Now that Christmas and New Years are past, I have a large bcklog of stories fermenting in my mind that I want to write. I've rceived a PM from a mudcat friend who is interested in starting a blog. I greatly recommended blogspot.com. If I can figure it out so easily, it's got to be simple!

Don't worry Jerry, Debra has been working on her blog at lot longer than you. Give it a few weeks, add lots of material and yours will start to look as good.

Stories are great, we need more of them.

Songs and blogs full of stories are wonderful.

I am married to Mr. Internet, who does web programming for a living. Some of that rubbed off. :-)

Hey, Debra: Yours looks way more complicated than mine. I seem to have everything under control and I am computer-challenged.

Thanks for the link.

I have started one as well and just like Jerry, still trying to figure the ins and outs of it all.

Dave - it may not be classified as a blog, but its fun and I'm enjoying the music.

Come on there must be more bloggers out there, or are we just too aware of our own inadequacies to share them with the world.

i don't know if this qualifies as a blog, but i regularly post book reviews (which are sometimes about musical subjects) and television reviews at my website, along with my music:

Hey, Simon: I could easily have named my blog "How Can I Keep From Writing." I haven't figured out how to do that yet, and I suspect I never will.

When I started my blog, there was a long list of agreements that you are required to o.k. One was the statement that you own the copyright to everything you post. I'll have to see if I can pull the screen back up and read it again.

I'm checking as well. I suspect the determination and energy to write regularly is a rare commodity, even rarer in combination with a good writing style and something to say on a regular basis.

I'm really glad you discovered how to add posts, Merging was a wonderful read. Keep it up, tell all your friends about it, and get them to tell their friends

Hey, Simon: I'm wondering where all the bloggers are, too. I'm sure there are many more on the Cat. I keep checking this thread trying to see who else is going to post.

What a beautiful farm. There was a place in North Stonington, CT which had highland cattle. We used to love driving up to see them. I think they were owned by the same man who plowed his fields with horses, walking behind with a plow. That is an incredibly beautiful piece you wrote about your friend's funeral, too. You are such an excellent writer!

The way we all go on and on on this site you'd think they would be more bloggers than this. Maybe everyone shy or hibernating for the winter.

I post a "daily ditty", plus a topical comment sometimes, on http://blogs.myspace.com/walkaboutsverse; but, for any interested Mudcatters, it's below the line here, anyway.

As long as you asked, Simon. My blog is less than 24 hours old and I'm still figuring it out: http://jerryrasmussen.blogspot.com/. If you drop by, please post a message to see if it works. I expect I'll be commenting on a variety of things, much like in the kitchen table thread.

http://jerryrasmussen.blogspot.com/

I've never successfully made a blue clicky. How come this one isn't blue?

Good idea for a thread! I'll be watching for other blog links.

If you blog then don't be shy tell us about it and include a link to your blog.

I for one am especially keen to hear about mudcatters who blog about entirely different areas on interest.

Please add you blog here

Simon
