I have lots of blogs scattered about internetdom.

>>How do you maintain it?
Maintain it?? I'm sure what you mean.

>>How do you get content for it? From your own head? From what you read?
One of my blogs, stream of consciousness,had the original concept of being inspired by the cellar, and when I was frustrated here, I would post there, in relative obscurity. Now I have been posting more spontaneously there, and putting links on there as I surf, so it's more general.

For the last 2.5 years I've had an internet diary, I call it my journal, that isn't on a blog site, but hosted from my webspace provided by my ISP. I started that one to practice my html skills and I started it to keep my mother up to date with what was going on im my life, and it evolved into my life journal, and I was bored as hell from work, and it gave me something to do and a place to put my poetry and stories.

I still have a core readership of 6 people, whom I bore with tales of woe and nothingness. I've been slacking recently, tho and will be posting there soon.

>>How do you write write write so much?
I go through periods where I write volumes on different blogs, then periods (like now) write I just can't be assed to do it.

>>How do you keep it interesting?
LOL I don't. I don't write for an "audience", I write for me. Consequently, *I* find my journal to be boring as hell, punctuated by one big spaz on May 14, 2003. I look back now at those posts and shake my head. Damn. I was bliiiiiiind....

>>What about photo blogs?
I post photos when they fit. I have spin off pages, like the Croatia page, and a page of pictures from when I first got to NC, and I am "working" on a New Orleans page, a page about the whole first husband turned murderer story, a page about the trip from Vegas to NC (with pics), and a "more wholesome" page for Husband's family to view.

>>What about private access for family members?
If it's private and you don't want anyone to read it, don't put it in a blog. If you want a blog for family members only, create your own pages and set up a password.

>>What mistakes have you made or seen made that I should avoid?
Giving too much personal information that you can be contacted by the freaks. Don't mention company names or names of cow-orkers in the blog without permission.

That's the big stuff....
