Likes and Dislikes: Blogging Edition

Likes

• The time spent reading other blogs, like the ones on the right.
• That I can find people like me and peek at what they're doing.
• Sharing my life, the way I chose to do it.
• The feedback from others.
• The record blogging creates. I love going back to see what I was doing and thinking in years gone by.
• The long distance relationships made with other bloggers. 
• No phone numbers or email addresses exchanged, just ideas and words of encouragement.

Dislikes

• That more people like reading short posts, and not thinking, so they are more attracted to Facebook and Twitter than blogging.
• The length of time I spend visiting the blogs on the right.
• The time it takes to do a complete post with pics and detail.
• That you can't always share what you'd like because there are creeps, perverts and trouble makers lurking about.
• Blog beefs between normally intelligent people who fall victim to low esteem and pettiness.
