Wednesday was Getting to Know You Day at the CAC blog! Here are the questions we were given this week:
When did you begin your first blog and what inspired you to do so?
I started my blog in the summer of... umm... 2004? I had seen my friends Moni and Wendy blogging, and was like "hmm... what is a blog?" And then I started one! Woooo!!!
Do you have more than one blog? Why? How are they different?
Yes, I do... I have this blog, and my Poetry Place... they are different because I wanted a blog space JUST for the poems I write. (Hmmm... The word poetry just reminded me that I dreamed about writing poetry last night. My old pastor was asking me for a copy of a poem, and of course I had lost it... )
How would you characterize your blog?
Creative
Political
Informational
Community-oriented
Or something else?
Creative? Sometimes... Political? NEVER. Informational? Rarely! lol Community-oriented? I'm not even sure what that means....
I'd describe my blog as... an extension of Jana... a part of me that I take out of myself and show to you all.
To paraphrase Oprah, what is "one thing you know for sure" about blogging?
I know that blogging has changed me deeply... I've met all kinds of new people, learned new things,... my life has expanded SO MUCH since I began blogging!
Is it important to you to get feedback in terms of comments or pings? Why or why not?
I can't imagine blogging if no one commented... I would feel like I was pouring out my soul to the world, and no one was listening... that would be horrible. But as far as HOW MANY comments I get... that's not important to me. I just love having any that come my way! :o)
What 3 blogs would you recommend to our readers and why?
Big Ideas - I found this blog last week, when I noticed the company name "Me & My Big Ideas" on an order at my company... well OF COURSE I had to see what on earth this company did... (we do that often... every time we see a company with an unusual name, we look it up online and see what they do/sell) Not only did I find their company website (they create products like fancy papers, stickers, iron-on transfers, and things like that) but I found that the company owners have a BLOG!!! Way cool to see a woman doing what she loves and making money in the process. She's my current creative hero.
Be Alive, Believe, Be You - Melba's blog is filled with colorful journal pages, images, and all sorts of wisdom that will get your creativity going!!
Women, Art, Life: Weaving It All Together - Tammy V's blog... she has advice for artists, daily wise thoughts, interviews with new artists, tales from her life... and her presence, which is way cool, since Tammy V is just awesome beyond awesomeness!
And now, for Photo Thursday, we are supposed to share a pic of ourselves in shades!
