WHOOPS...I'VE BEEN TAGGED

WHOOPS, I've been caught/tagged by "Just Me at Ramblings from the outside of nowhere." The title ' What Blogging means to me'. Now I'm not sure but going back to one of my archive blogs dated Tuesday 8th May 'The True meaning of Blog' I wrote about why I had started mine. Annalisa from 'WORDS THAT FLOW' then wanted to find out more about her blogging buddies and started up a meme,' what blogging means to me' and I think this is it.

So as not to repeat myself feel free to browse back to my my May archives to see the main reason why I'm here blogging. I will still do the meme but with not so much detail but there are also some questions here I didn't cover in that earlier post.

Q1. Are you happy /satisfied with its contents and look?

Sometimes I read back on a post and wonder what was going on in my head that day, but my blog is my personal diary so it must have been relevant at the time. I'm no writer or literal genius and after reading some blogs realise how true this is, but like I said, I'm not here to prove anything just to enjoy posting my day to day interests and record life events.

I would love to change my look (I'm that sort of a woman), but as I said I am a novice at all this and live in fear of losing anything. So for now I have to be contented until I get picked by a make-over team (do they exist)?

Q2. Does your family know about your blog?

Most of them, some wouldn't even know what a blog is (I told you I live out in the sticks).

Q3. Do you feel embarrassed to let your friends know about your blog or just consider it as a private thing?

Not at all, I wanted my blog to be real and honest therefore I have no problem with anyone reading it. Although it has crossed my mind to start another blog, but as yet I haven't.

Q4. Did blogs cause positive change in your thoughts?

No, I felt more positive about the fact that I was recording events, and that I was meeting and learning so much from my blogging buddies.

Q5. Do you only open the blogs of those who comment on your blog or love to go and discover more by yourself?

At first I only visited the ones who had made comments on mine, but whilst visiting if I saw a comment that amused or interested me I would venture over to their blog to learn/laugh some more.

Q6. What does visitor counters mean to you, do you care about putting it on your blog?

It means absolutely nothing to me, this is not a competition I'm in. I think Math put one somewhere in my blog where it is goodness knows, I've never looked.

Q7. Do you try to imagine your fellow blogger's and give them real picture's?

Most of my blogging buddies show photos of themselves, surely you've heard of "HNT"? Those that don't obviously I have a picture in my head of the person I'm corresponding with (I'm sure I'm nowhere near put it helps to have a face to the name). My blog is a mixture of real pictures and some that I love or reflect something about the post I'm doing at the time.

Q8. Does criticism annoy you or do you feel it's a normal thing?

Constructive criticism is fine, we can learn from it. Unkind and nasty criticism is not only annoying its so unnecessary.

Q9. Do you think there is a real benefit for blogging?

Of course there is a benefit or else I would be blogging to myself if others didn't find it a benefit. Its a great way to express your view/get things of your chest/unwind/ use your writing skills/etc. Or like me a personal diary of life's events.

Q10. Do you think blogger's society is isolated from the real world or interacts with events?

I can only speak for myself, but absolutely NO to being isolated. I have been able to interact with world events that I'd never heard about before blogging. History in the making is how I feel when reading about events in other parts of the world. Then there is the "WORLD PEACE GLOBE", organised by MIMI, the education I have each day with G-MAN, the cultural knowledge from MONA. I think interacts is not a powerful enough word for the way the blogging society compounds world events.

Q11. Do you fear some political blogs and avoid them?

Yes, I fear the influence some my have, as to avoiding them it would depend if I had anything I wanted to say to them.

Q12. Did you get shocked by the arrest of some bloggers?

See I told you I live out in the sticks, what bloggers and why? I do believe if your blog is harming anyone there should be more control or legal action that can be used. If you have read my MAY post you will see why I'm of this mind,
Q13. Did you think about what will happen to your blog after you die?

Well I hadn't but my son did say wouldn't it be nice to have a copy, I could have to put in the memory box (arrr). One thing for sure I wouldn't be doing anymore posts.

Q14. What do you like to hear? What is the song you might like to link to, in your blog?

This is a difficult one, I'm so very eclectic with my music, what about "All kinds of everything" by Mary Hopkins, not a tune I would rave about but it seems to describe my BLOG.

RULES

1.Name the person, with link who tagged you (done).

2.Complete the questionnaire without changing the questions (done).

Now whoever picks up the tag has to copy them down like I did. Sorry about that (oh! yes I am).

3. Tag 3 other people, that I can do and hope they will follow through. This is a questionnaire to be answered on the topic "What does blogging mean to me" (not done).

I haven't tagged anyone as I know some of my blogger pals hate being tagged, but please, if you fancy doing this let me know so I can link you up and not let "JUST ME" down.......
