I don't let a lot of pp I know IRL know about my blog. I only send the link to a couple of close friends and some family members. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-amp-real-life-friends#post-579947 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:39:53 +0000 .twist. 579947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennylynn: I kind of did that for my wedding. I had a blog and a few friends new about it but it was more for myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-amp-real-life-friends#post-579925 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:36:04 +0000 mlm2934 579925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only my closest friends know about my blog, but they rarely comment or read. Then again it's a running blog. My old blog friends did comment some </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-amp-real-life-friends#post-579924 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:35:53 +0000 jennylynn 579924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None of my real life friends blog, that I know of at least. I have a blog that I started when I was pregnant, but I've never mentioned it to my friends or family. I made it more for myself. They know about my photography blog though, but they've never commented on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-amp-real-life-friends#post-579916 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:33:33 +0000 .twist. 579916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Well, I like to think I'm totally hilarious, but in reality I'm sure they aren't that great. hah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-amp-real-life-friends#post-579910 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:32:49 +0000 mrbee 579910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: That depends... on how good your blog posts are haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-amp-real-life-friends#post-579900 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:31:29 +0000 .twist. 579900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: hahaha the only reason my friends read it is because I shove my blog down their throats. "OMG, I UPDATED MY BLOG. GO SEEEEEEEEEEEE *link*". </p> <p>hahahaha I'm a horrible friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-amp-real-life-friends#post-579889 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:29:11 +0000 hilary 579889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friends are the same way. They always wonder about how I get all of this info and look at me strangely when I say blogs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-amp-real-life-friends#post-579868 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:26:13 +0000 mrbee 579868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a lot of friends we met through blogging, so they all blog.</p> <p>Everyone else doesn't even read our blogs, let alone comment on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-amp-real-life-friends#post-579815 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:18:27 +0000 mrsjyw 579815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>one of my IRL is a heavy blog reader, another is a blogger, but other than that-- not really! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-amp-real-life-friends#post-579804 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:16:37 +0000 .twist. 579804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: I just find that so funny. I know they read it and are excited but they never comment! I mean, I'm not comment crazy or anything, but I just find it weird. </p> <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Oh, I've definitely run into lazy commenting too. Sometimes I think that because they're not "into" the blogging world they just don't "get" that commenting is fun. hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-amp-real-life-friends#post-579794 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:14:07 +0000 .twist. 579794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: Yea, same here. Even my husband doesn't use the internet as much as me. </p> <p>I'm not even sure how I got involved in blogging and interneting when none of my real life friends care about it that much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-amp-real-life-friends#post-579791 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:13:51 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 579791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I have a few friends who blog, and we'll comment on each other's blogs... but the majority of my friends stopped blogging (esp after FB got so popular with their one line status updates and instant mobile uploads). Blogging used to be huge amongst my friends though (we all used Xanga). Now I know people read but a lot are too lazy to comment and login. I can see how that can be a deterrent. Sometimes they'll just comment directly on a post when it feeds directly to FB as a comment or something. I know I sometimes read blogs and want to comment but get really lazy about it if they're using a different blog than me (for example, I use Wordpress... but I'm less likely to comment on a Blogspot or Tumblr blog). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-amp-real-life-friends#post-579785 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:12:40 +0000 Bookish 579785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've noticed the same thing with my friends/family. No comments on my preggo blog here either lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-amp-real-life-friends#post-579745 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:04:19 +0000 Mrs. Polish 579745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friends mostly respond to me via text or RL conversations. Mr. Polish and I use the internet far more than anyone we know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-amp-real-life-friends#post-579736 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:01:43 +0000 .twist. 579736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do your in real life friends use the internet the way you do? Specifically blogs?</p> <p> I've had a few blogs over the years and I've noticed only 2 of my in real life friends actually read blogs and comment on them. For my pregnancy I started another blog and quite a few of my friends and younger family members read it occasionally but none of them ever comment. </p> <p>Obviously it could be that I have nothing to say that they want to comment on, but it just seems odd to me since I comment on a lot of other peoples blogs. </p> <p>Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I blame baby brain for my lack of organizing my thoughts for this post. Just really curious to know if out of all your friends you're one of the only ones who uses the internet more than your friends! </p>
