Honesty is important. I plan to keep this blog on the light side of life so that means many of life's events and issues which are often very serious will not written about. It just depends there is no formula for it. thankslislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-27157063627250376342012-06-24T07:44:33.692-05:002012-06-24T07:44:33.692-05:00In general, I prefer blogs about people's live...In general, I prefer blogs about people's lives rather than themed blogs. I'm reasonably open about my life on my blog, although I feel no obligation to tell anything other than exactly what I want to tell. Some of it is good, some of it isn't, and it's of no real consequence to me how people feel about that. I also have no interest in trying to round up more readers.. But I have welcomed the support I've received over the years from regular readers.Secret Agent Womannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-27179331431649937842012-06-22T06:26:58.278-05:002012-06-22T06:26:58.278-05:00Well I never told people my problems when I first ...Well I never told people my problems when I first started blogging. I just blogged about anything and everything. Blogging helped me and back in those days we had a lot of people blogging (I think we must have been on the computer all the time). I just think that sometimes people can reveal too much which may come back to haunt them one day. You have to be a little careful. And you are right, we only reveal a small dimension of our lives. It is such an interesting topic that I may post about this too (and link back to you if I do).Lillyhttp://www.lillyslife.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-46570110605872599212012-06-21T21:59:39.732-05:002012-06-21T21:59:39.732-05:00Thanks, I thought you might find it interesting. ...Thanks, I thought you might find it interesting. There are so many different types and reasons for blogs. I have noticed many very serious ones. One doesn't need to live too long before death, tragedy, sadness and other serious parts of life are felt in someway. Sharing these feelings and problems with other bloggers seems to be a new form of group support. Did the support of others work for you on your blog? It is good to know you are in good place. We are judged by what we post. Smart people should know that there are many other dimensions to a person than their posts and many reasons not to reveal all. This reminds me of Billy Joel's song "The Stranger".lislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-87259847144674474942012-06-21T18:00:48.860-05:002012-06-21T18:00:48.860-05:00I read the other bloggers post and this is interes...I read the other bloggers post and this is interesting. She is clearly a very successful blogger without revealing too much about her life. What I object to is that somehow bloggers who do not share a lot of information about their personal lives are seen to be unauthentic. I could share a lot of things about my life that would probably get me more readers but even though I am tempted at times I just cannot do it. I started my blog as a diversion from somethign bad that happened to me and to help me cope with serious depression. that period of my life has passed and I am in a good place and happy. My blog represents just a place I can share the funnier stuff in my life not the sad stuff. I think about this all th etime though, sometiems I go to write something more serious and I have to toss up whether I should or not.

Hard core heavy posts come so easily for me. I too am trying to make my posts nice for the reader. I think the hardest part for me and new blogs are the long stories with no pictures.

Oh don't apologize. It's your blog and your expression of what you want to share/express. People do get paid to walk dogs but I think it's mostly a city thing. Too bad there is not a demand for philosophers. I read an article written by a futurist and I thought I could do guessing like that.
