A hearty welcome to Jenn

A hearty welcome to Jenn and Ken to the dark side, er, to the wondrous world of blogging! It?s a great place to vent and rant, and hope you?ll have a great time with it!

The thing I?ve discovered over the years of blogging, oh, since 1999, is that most of the people I know in person in real life don?t care about my online life. (Maybe they don?t care about me either.) Unlike Rachel, who thought: I figured probably no-one except a few friends would check out my blog, and was ok with that. I figured starting a blog would be easier than keeping a journal, and definitely a good way of processing my thoughts and feelings about life.

The many online conversations and dialogue I?ve had with my virtual friends is invaluable and enjoyable to me, it allows me to expand my circles of relationships beyond my geographical and physical constraints. That?s a beautiful thing. And when I get to travel, I?ll try to rendez-vous and actually meet them.

  • I have found this same thing, rarely do people I know read my work. Even harder still has been recruiting local people (as part of my church) to blog with me. -- Tim
  • Hi! While that was what I *figured* originally, by far the majority of people who read my blog never knew me in person before I started blogging :) It's pretty cool to have relationships all over the globe eh?.: peacerachel
