The Dogmother Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Best email james@omlet.co.uk to ask why you didn't get your details. I am guilty of having a blog and not doing anything to it - I never have the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paola Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I would like a blog however not sure I have enough interesting things to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I'm sure you have! I think the whole idea is that its for yourself really anyway, a kind of hi tech diary... I'd be rubbish at it... I always used to start every new year, from the age of about 11 through to 18, with the intentions of keeping a diary.... it usually lasted about 2 weeks. I think many blogs follow this pattern!

Eyren Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I was reading an article only the other day that said that 66% of blogs on the major sites (BlogSpot, LiveJournal, etc) haven't been updated in two months, and over a million were one-day wonders http://www.perseus.com/blogsurvey/thebloggingiceberg.html It's easy to start a blog, but much harder to maintain the self-discipline to keep posting. I have one on my personal website; I doubt anyone reads it, but one day when I'm a published author maybe it'll interest a few fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Funny you should mention the link between a blog & publishing a book Redfox! A book that has been in the best sellers list for a while now started out as a blog! So you never know Redfox - fame & fortune may be on the cards yet Belle de Jour is the book. Not one for the faint hearted though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 It's easy to start a blog, but much harder to maintain the self-discipline to keep posting. I agree with you Redfox. My daughter started one just after we adopted our ex battery girls, and to begin with she was excellent at updating it, daily at first and then a little less often, but now she feels as if she's told most of the story, the ex batts are settled, well assimilated into the flock and slowly feathering up..... and she's a lot less interested in keeping it up to date. Mind the fact that it's been the summer holidays and she's been endlessly out and about, I don't think she could find the time to sit at the computer whilst there've been so many more interesting things to do instead Hopefully though she'll be reviving it again soon though, more news this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Sorry, not meaning to be teasing, but Imy and I have been invited to help with a BHWT rescue again this weekend Actually I had a better offer for Saturday , but really couldn't let Imy down, so we're off to Essex, liberating a few more scraggly hens I might even get to meet Sophie101 there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you never know Redfox - fame & fortune may be on the cards yet Good Lord, no - my life is far too quiet for my blog to be a book in itself! Instead it's about the writing life, my latest project, etc - basically a way of publicly shaming myself into actually doing some writing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I tried to apply for one, but never heard back, and never got sent my login details. I then noticed they're all veeeeery old....... what happened to them? I applied twice and omlet never got back to me Someone said James was just busy so I should just wait, although Martin got one about the same time I was trying. Not bothering now as have my own blog now and in fact (plug plug) we have space for anyone else to have a chicken blog on our site (PM for details).
