Talk to me about blogging

I'm thinking I want to start a blog. I'd like to chronicle our journey through loss, and, possibly, adoption or subsequent pregnancy.

I know a few of you have blogs. How do I get started? What are the best sites to use? I'm totally clueless.

I don't think a blog about our journey is anything I want to make public yet, but I think I'd like to start writing now.

Married August 2009

3 years. 5 losses.

Re: Talk to me about blogging

  • I created one through Google, and used my Gmail account.

    We also haven't made our journey public yet, but I've made everything ananymous on our blog. So even if friends or family were to find it, they wouldn't know it was us.  Someday we will share it with them, but for now we are not.

    If you want to see how I have mine set up, you are welcome to.  It's 5yearstonever.blogspot.com.  I just started it last week, so I'm more getting it caught up with where we're at now. You will want to start from the oldest post to the newest.

  • I have a blogger one. It is very user friendly. Writing has always been a great form of therapy for me. My blog is public, but I have a lot of posts that I do not publish because they touch on things like my PTSD and I am not ok with sharing that yet. It is more for me than other people.
  • Mine is through google and I love how easy it is to use.

    its nice to have an outlet. sometimes I dislike burdening my friends with all my thoughts and its a place where i can let it all out. if someone isn't in the mood to hear me go on and on they don't have to read it!

  • I have one through Google.  I blogged through IVF and the second loss, but stopped shortly after.  I will pick it up again soon.

    It was nice to get thoughts out, especially those that I wanted to express but not tell the world.  Mine is private, but I *may* someday make it public.  We'll see.
