In today's Popular Content, "Blogs are everywhere" revisited...
By Ray on June 13, 2007 - 9:51am
"Blogs are everywhere" is a thread that began Nov. 10/2005,
and I just reviewed some of it again. It makes me wonder where
some of those responders are now, and why we don't hear from them.
I also wonder if Carla Johnson at the Associated Press in Chicago
ever monitors this site these days. Carla did a story on old bloggers that got us a lot of publicity, and we're very grateful.
Speaking of blogs, I tried one for a few days on Google's Blogger,
but gave up because I couldn't get the text to format properly
around images, or even on its own, for that matter. It didn't
want to break where I wanted paragraphs, and without proper formatting, as we know, reading something is more pain than pleasure. That's one of the main reasons I love Urban Vancouver.
There's never any problems with formatting, or images, or saying
what you want in the way you want it to appear. This site works
better than a lot of those others, trust me.
Blogs work best with a lively group of readers who aren't afraid
to comment on what they're seeing on here. So do us all a favour,
and either add your comments, or sign up for your own blog - it's
easy, and it's fun, and we'd like to hear from you.
Enjoy your day, Everyone.
