Anyone else doing a blog, I am finding this quite fun and a great excuse to be pretending to working when quite clearly I am not.

Blogging
White Times New Roman on an Orange background?! hehe, I didn't get very far (because I'm at work I mean, not because of your blog!), I will check it out properly when I get home. I only blog to promote videos although as a consequence of using Blogger I find I am reading a lot more blogs than I used to.

I kept a blog through out my second and third year of university on my msn space. It's funny to read back. Haven't got time now...
Cheers SP - tis done
I have never kept a diary really of any kind Ellie. But I think I might use this every week or so to write something funny. I don't think I could keep a serious blog that would be like asking your readers to take you seriously!

Yep, mine was funny, normally write ups of nights out with anecdotes etc. Then I'd add photos for my friends.
I know loads of people who do but rarely have time to read them because there are so many. I guess whether it is worth it or not depends on why you are doing it and who you are hoping will read it. In your case I guess you could publish a link inside the next book cover. 
I can't see that anyone would be remotely interested in what I do everyday - well apart from the bits that I wouldn't want to make public.
Cool I'll be sure to check it out once and a while Marc.

C'mon, let us see your bits!

Ah, it's the bits about my work as an undercover secret agent I was referring to.
Damn! Not so secret now I guess...

Yeah but Ellie's still ended up on the internet.
Won an adult movie award I believe...

Too many people write blogs, I rarely latch onto one I like so I don't see the point in writing one myself... Anymore.
There's too much other stuff to read in the world without adding blogs to the list.
I like reading James Moran's blog : http://www.jamesmoran.blogspot.com/
And I often take a peek at: http://jasonarnopp.blogspot.com/
Apart from that I sometimes take a look at Richard Herring's one.
Oh, and Graham Linehan's one, of course. Though is that really a blog? Half the time it's just video links and the like.

That's what a blog is. Anything the person writing it is intersted in sharing. Doesn't have to be an essay.
