I don’t know if there are any rules to being a blogger. Today on the front page of the Dallas Morning News was a story about 4 women in Frisco whose blogs have raised some eyebrows. They made fun of other housewives and talked a lot about sex. It sounded to me that they were trying out for the Desperate Housewives show. I’ve never read their blog, not sure if I want to—there’s enough ugliness in this world without seeking it out in blogs, and I don’t want to hear about my own sex life, so I sure don’t want to hear some one else’s. I guess the free speech thing kicks in here.
The article went on to say that a lot of women blog because they need to maintain contact with other adults. Whatever happened to calling friends, meeting for coffee, or playgroups? I love hearing from people who have read my blog, but quite honestly there’s only about 3 of you (thanks mom!) I guess that’s why others do it too.
I’m sure there are some great blogs out there, this one just sounded a little trashy to me. If you know a great blog, pass it on, I like to hear what is important to other people.
Okay, Julie… I am a big blogger groupie. I confess. I wrote about it a few weeks ago. I think that it is a terrific resource for fellowship with folks that you may not normally meet. Here are some of the blogs that I follow…
