Tell Me...

.
Do you blog everything you'd like to,
or do you *censor yourself?

Are there times you start to write something

and then think, nah, not gonna write that?

.

I do, I sit down to write and I find myself

picking and choosing so carefully that I just give up.

This frustrates me.

I don't like it but I have learned the hard way

to be careful.

I won't go into it.

Let's just say once your privacy has been invaded

in an extremely unpleasant way, you learn to exercise caution.

I quite frequently come up with great blog posts

on my way to work and then of course once I'm back home,

poof...

they've either left my head or I simply think better of it.

Maybe with time this will change.

Maybe not. Only time will tell.

Definition of censor :

Verb : to ban or cut portions of

(a film, letter, or publication)

Hey, You...

.

can you help?

* The One and Only!

Yesterday, as we lingered over lunch,
a friend of a friend, who's thinking of starting a blog, asked me:
"What advice would you give to someone new to blogging?"
Qui? Moi?
Give advice on blogging?!!
I mean, honestly, who, in their right mind, would ask moi
for advice on blogging?!

Despite my best intentions, I can honestly say
I quite often think of one thing and then something completely
different imposes itself and somehow ends up on my blog
- now, from what I've read about blogs and blogging
on other people's blogs,
this is not the way most bloggers blog...
Posts are pre-planned, thought out, perhaps even written ahead.
I, on the other hand, am still muddling
my way along somehow, pretending I know what I'm doing!
.
It was my nearest and dearest who jokingly suggested
I give her a list of "don't do what I do" tips!
Nevertheless, I must say, this whole conversation
got me thinking and
I wondered if any of you out there (all three of you!!!)
have better advice...
Which blogging platform do you,
or would you, use?
Blogger?
TypePad?
WordPress?
Any others I haven't heard of?
