Blogging--What's it all about?

So it wasn't so hard setting this up, though I have to confess "creating" a URL through me.



I started a post I wasn't able to finish. Since I only had one sentence I opted for deleting it and starting over.



I was reading a couple of the NSLS blogs and then the EPL staff blog, but frankly, I'm not seeing what the big attraction is.



I've tried searching Google blogs for blogs on children's literature topics, and while I read a few posts on a few of them, I've not found them at all compelling. Perhaps, if I had a laptop or a Blackberry I might read them if I was desperately bored in the waiting room of the doctor's office, but I didn't find anything that made me want to look at it again.



Many blogs read like diary entry and for most folks, well, sorry I don't see their thoughts as all that interesting. Certainly not compelling or, for the most part, useful reading.



It does make me feel less like a dinosaur to be able to create and blog and know I could help someone else start one and I think I'll appreciate reading my colleagues' thoughts about their experiences, too.
