Anybody here, besides me, have a blog? Just curious. It would be a good way to get to know the true character of each other here if we shared blog addresses. Is this a dumb idea?

I just started my blog last week and I've enjoyed writing in it so far. Now I'm starting to yearn for some feedback. Strange.

I would have to say no. And you might need to start this story at the beginning (instead of the middle) and tell us what a blog is :wink: :P

Yeah, some of us old timers aren't "hip" to things like this. :lol:

ROFL.. and here I thought I was the only retard in here. I just found out about them the other day and felt dumb because I had to ask the same question. :lol: I thought all you tech-savvy people would be up on this stuff. Apparently, it's all the rage these days.

Check out this article on Blogger.com for a little more insight. :P

.... and actually.... who said you had to blog real life? It would be pretty cool if someone were to start a blog telling the story of their SWG character!

Yeah, apparently it is all the rage for the internet youngsters. I just found out what they were like a month ago. Blogging seems rather, gay, I suppose. Or lame. Sorry if I insult anyone that is actually gay on these boards, using gay as a rather deragatory term. I don't mean to insult anyone. Its a phrase I've used rather prolificly for quite a while, and while I'm not normally very PC, I've been trying to cut back on saying that.

lol... my first instinct was that they were lame as well. But recently I've taken an interest in reading other people's blogs. It's become a kind of weird addiction. Sort of like reality TV. So then, logically I started one of my own. :roll:

and Cetera... how is it any more lame than posting non-stop here in these forums? It seems very closely related to me.

I have been knowing about them for a very long time now.... but I never got caught up in them.

I guess I doubt anyone would want to read about life.... and really anything you would like to read about me would probably not disclosed so easily… I got to keep the FBI on their toes. :D

Considering that gay technically means happy, you shouldn't apologise for saying it! :P

"Tech-savvy" people don't bother with this stuff, it's something "non tech-savvy" people do, to feel "Tech-savvy" :shock: :P

My roomate has been regularly keeping up with his blog for years now. I tried one of my own for a couple weeks, but soon realized I was too lazy to keep up with it.

I've read several blogs, and some can be quite amusing.

If I were to write an online diary, they would have been pretty boring most of the time, I am afraid.

Life:
/wakeup;
/gotowork;
/work;
/gohome;
/eat;
/playswg;
/sleep;
/macro life;

I have a few other hotkeys I press once in a while, like /visitfriends and /seemovie, or /seefamily
