Being an old girl on the blogging network, things kind of pass me by!
technology moves so fast these days that I rarely can keep up with everything!
we all have busy lives...some of us are computer savvi whereas others aren't! I used to be very interested in blog and web design and although I still am...it all baffles me and I just can't stand the pace anymore.
Blogging has changed in the 9 years that I have been writing mine, we used to share what we made, how we were feeling...money never really came into it...we just blogged because we loved it.
These days there are so many blogs out there...all touting for business promoting themselves telling you how to promote yourself...there is just stacks and stacks of blogs all looking the same....oh i am not knocking them! but...
Blogs used to be enjoyable little magazines where you fell in love with the person behind them...you wanted to comment because you were generally interested in their day...what they had for breakfast, what crochet project they were doing, what they did with the kids on holiday etc...
The first blog that I started to read were the likes of Blueyonder Ranch, Stefani blogged about her family life in America and when I used to read all her stories, it really did take me to a place of escapism...her life seemed so complete...a perfect place to bring up children...you could almost smell the fresh pine air!
I dont think people realise what a constant job it is to carry on with a blog...to make it interesting as time passes and styles change...a lot of the people that I was friends with when I started have stopped blogging altogether now!...it's such a shame!...
So I decided to go on a hunt to find some of the good ole peeps that are still out there blogging away in the old style..the style where blogging started!
Yep there are still some of them left!
so come and have a look...

Since creating this list...some of these blogs have fallen by the wayside even just this year...but it is still worth having a look at them...as they have left content which is to die4.
I have also created a 'Lovely Blogs' list on my sidebar just recently so if you would like to swap links with me...please contact me HERE - It's kind of a back to Basics idea to hopefully make my blog more interesting to new readers.
In the meantime have a lovely blogging week!
...and please feel free to share with us your favourite blogs in the comments section below - Thanks.
