Do you blog? If you do, feel free to post the link to your blog I don't really blog. Used to, then gave up, and now I'm thinking I might start again. Not worth posting my link at the moment anyhow.

Used to, but not as often if at all anymore. I blog a lot in the Summer and when I'm going through some tough situations but otherwise I usually fall off the face of livejournal and leave my followers wondering where I am. x3

I've never blogged. xP
I always wanted a tiny little thing (which something like Twitter would probably be good for?) to post random thoughts that I have throughout the day, but apart from that ... nah.

I've tried. I try. I don't have anything to write about.. and I always forget about it. xD Though I do have a photography blog I've been trying to commit myself to.

I have one that I type in occasionally, though it's more like random musings. And since Twitter basically allows me to just shorten it, I usually write on there. It's easier because I can just rifle through it and be like, "Right, I can elaborate on that" if I choose to. Sort of like how you paraphrase things? So later on I can go back and write out an actual blog entry, if I choose.
Most of my "blog entries" are just rants that I type up and delete, never actually posting them. My anger management technique, haha. That way I avoid conflict and release tension, all at the same time!

zurik.tumblr.comIt's a tumblr, though, so I use it as the internet equivalent of a sketchpad. Bits from other blogs, random images, and some of my own stuff.

No.
I think professional blogging is okay, for example, journalistic blogging. Or something funny like 'failblog.org'.
Actual blogs written in a diary format do not appeal to me at all. Reading or writing them. They strike me as a bit of a cry for attention if I'm totally honest.

Nope, I don't. Blogging about something in particular (pets, activities, etc.) could be fun, but I've never had the patience or the time to do something like that.
But idk, to me, personal blogging, like a diary or something (like Loxie said) just seems kind of...strange. I wouldn't want the entire world reading my diary, let alone commenting on it! I've got a private diary to rant out my thoughts in, and that's good enough for me. :3

would you say that's necessarily bad though? i'm not sure if i fall into your category as i wouldn't say mine is a diary, however i know the feeling of having seperate online friends and real life friends. i don't mind the idea of people doing it so their online friends read their real troubles, if that makes sense? i've done it myself and i'd rather do a blog diary that's open to a certain type of people rather than write a diary where i feel like what i'm saying is pointless because it'll never be read/i won't get support from it. i've never actually stuck to a blog diary thing, because for similar reasons i'm getting the impression from you, i found it a bit weird.. but i wouldn't say a cry for attention from someone is particularly bad if they don't have anywhere else to go. i see it the same as people doing posts on forums every so often about troubles.
ETA anyway i suppose it shouldn't really matter what anyone thinks because if my blog doesn't appeal to you, at the end of the day you don't need to read it lol. i find blogging incredibly helpful with my training and i have a community who if i'm stuck with something will respond or contact me from my posts & help. i also think it's a good way of people understanding what i do etc rather than writing some complicated philosophy of my dog training, they can actually see what i'm doing day to day.

I'd say that your blog was almost professional though, cat! It's about your dogs and training, so it's more interesting to read than someone's online diary of their life, lol.
