Who here has a Blog?

[Papa Deuce]

And what is the topic?

 

[LK03]

Moi!

It's daily rantings http://www.livejournal.com/users/lkf03

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

I do and the topic is my life. However, it's 'friends-locked' so that only certain people can see it because I've had troll issues in the past.

We just started it to keep friends and family informed of our adoption process.

 

[Lachesis00]

I do... I've had it for 3 or 4 years.

 

[AmazingGrace]

I have one. It's about my move to Texas. Nothing earth shattering.

I have one, it's just random ramblings, stream of conciuosness.

Mine is also locked and available only to my friends and family as there is a person who has been kicked off the Dis more than once who has basically stalked me through Cyberspace and is actually so delusional and obsessed that it's rather frightening.

Wow,that's scary ducklite.

Glad to know I"m not the only one who has internet stalkers. I've had people follow me from community to community, just to harrass me. In the past, I also stalkers that created not one but TWO 'blogs just to harrass me and make fun of me. One of them is shut down and the other one is still up but hasn't been updated in some time,which leads me to believe the person who did it is bored and found somebody ELSE to bother now that my blog is f'locked.

[flminivanmama]

I do it was supposed to be for my business but there's only so much you can write about cloth diapers... so now it's just about stuff that's going on in my family or stuff I'm thinking about. I don't write in it enough, that's for sure.

[RadioNate]

I do but it is in desperate need of an update~

 

[Crazoo]

I started a blog about those online surfing programs www.hyii.net - the layout is kind of messed up in IE though.

 

[ScoJo15]

I do and it's located at www.scottandgail.com

 

[RadioFanatic]

I have one as well - just my ramblings on life - my dh says I have a "bean" like look on life so that is what my blog reflects:

I do, but it's more of a journal. I started mine in 1997 when Oprah's weight loss thing, "Make the Connection" was really big. I joined a group of weight loss journallers (because that's what Oprah advocated) and wrote about dieting trials and tribulations. My journal eventually evolved (or devolved as the case may be ) into just a regular journal with the goings on of my life, ramblings, and rants and raves. Lately it's been more rants than raves, though. I talk through my depression a whole lot.

Anne- I have a private blog and a cyberstalker too. I also know who the person is... it's more sad than frightening in this case.

My blog is about my cancer journey, though I write about other stuff in my life too. I've been horribly neglectful though and haven't written anything new there in months. My oldest dd's 7th grade teacher sends homework emails and always writes a funny little paragraph as an opener. I asked her if she has a blog, and she doesn't. She really needs one. I guess we're her blog audience...

This is just a question to really anyone. I'm not sure what blog means. I was reading some sites that some of you have. It seems personal. I just can't see writing about personal information that other people could view? Some of you have said you have had stalkers following your blogs? Are you not setting yourselves up for that when you type this information? These are just my thoughts. I don't want to sound rude at all. I just am not sure what all this is about. I type on this board and enjoy it but I don't get that involved to the point I would be worried about stalkers or trolls. I'm not even sure what trolls are?

Blog is an abbreviation for web log.

I don't think anybody is setting themselves up to be stalked -- blame the stalker, not the victim.

I can only really speak for myself, but when I started my online journal it was just a way to hold myself accountable on my diet. Once I started writing more personal stuff, it became an outlet of sorts. I put a good bit of personal info on my site, but I do keep my name and number unlisted in the phone book. I've tried searching for myself numerous times and so far I've been very tough to track down, although I'm sure somebody with determination and resources could probably do it.

I do get trolls on my site though. Trolls are just people who like to stir up controversy and dissent. I ignore them.
