In time it became a log for my campaign games as well. I was actually quite surprised, when I discovered that people were actually giving it a look.irishserbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667912663079268177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397250603826942614.post-65106444719057862712020-02-01T05:26:42.627-08:002020-02-01T05:26:42.627-08:00I had this discussion a few weeks ago, and was fea...I had this discussion a few weeks ago, and was fearful with the rise of Facebook thought blogs would die. I also use my blog for my own record of my projects and armies, but I do appreciate comments as it spits me on. I would hate to see them disappear, I would pay to keep mine. <br /><br />Cheers<br />MattBluewillowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08826519858479170953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397250603826942614.post-89910093602025477332020-02-01T00:52:30.037-08:002020-02-01T00:52:30.037-08:00Funnily enough for exactly the same reasons you do...Funnily enough for exactly the same reasons you do.. for me the two blogs (one wargaming and one sailing) are my online diaries.. I too have Facebook but it is too ephemeral to use as a recording tool... if blogger ever disappears, I will migrate to Wordpress and just carry on.. Speaking of which... Wordpress has a handy little gadget that allows you to import your Blogger content... I have a Wordpress account and every now and again do that, but don't publish it, that way if it all goes west one day, I still have the content..Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397250603826942614.post-71204629370288732832020-02-01T00:16:24.885-08:002020-02-01T00:16:24.885-08:00My blog was started to replace a website I lost wh...My blog was started to replace a website I lost when I changed internet providers when we emigrated. I couldn't find a way of relicating the clunky old website that didn't cost more money than I was willing to spend, so set up a blog instead. At the time my wife and I were teaching computer basics to people, and we had a client who wanted some sessions on setting up a blog, so I set mine up in order toget some hands-on experience.<br /><br />It's been going for eight years, and is really a diary of my games and brain-dump of ideas I have for them. I'd love more comments, but I'm terrible at commenting on other people's blogs, so I suspect I reap what I sow.<br />Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397250603826942614.post-43432452924185922332020-01-31T23:38:16.166-08:002020-01-31T23:38:16.166-08:00Yes, the diary aspect is definitely a pull to the ...Yes, the diary aspect is definitely a pull to the blogging. I feel like it's also helpful to 'keep you honest' about you hobby activity. "Oh my gosh it's been a while since the last post!" is a good inspiration to get my hobby act together. <br /><br />The community I really appreciate too. Getting comments and discussion is a big boost to keep me going. <br /><br />I feel like blog activity has dropped off a bit in the last few years. There was, for a while, a ton of info and it was easy to navigate via blogs feeds to other blogs to find new and interesting stuff. There's a lot of silent blogs these days....not sure if it's always been this way and I'm a bit more aware of it or if it's a true drop off. davebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531919635590898334noreply@blogger.com
