Do you have a blog?
We've probably asked this question before, but who here has a blog? And how do you link something with chrome or safari?
I had a cooking blog, but I decided to stop with it because it was contributing to my eating disorder, now I have a blog of our life here (it's not exciting, but my mom appreciates it!).
The address is: lasuissmiss.blogspot.com
Re: Do you have a blog?
I do, but it's not really anything exciting. I like to ramble about things, and the blog is a place I can do it. I tend not to promote it anywhere, it's really just a project for me. It's not private, just not advertised.

A cooking blog because my personal one was seen by kids and my boss told me to get rid of it to keep my job.

I also have an IVF blog and Barney's blog (which I need to contribute to again soon)...but I won't list those unless people want to read about IVF or dogs.
I have one that is not too current but still active.

Liane, if you wouldn't mind, I would like your blog address. First of all, Barney is totally cute. I also think that your undertaking should not go unnoticed, and I am so hoping for your little miracle, and would like to follow your journey. Plus,my good friend is starting down the IVF road, and I would not only like to understand her experience better, but also to support her.
I have two. I took them out of my sig though, because well, the Bump is full of weirdos. My primary blog is a life blog that has been pretty much overtaken by baby. I am struggling to keep up with it right now, and am thinking about a blog hiatus. But then again, it was such an easy way to communicate with people who don't live near us, to keep them up-to-date with what we're doing. Its ctgirlingermany.blogspot.com
My other blog is our building our house blog. That one has tanked since December, and the house is slowly coming to an end anyway. I'm thinking of either keeping it up, and making it a home decor/ cooking blog, or just stopping it when we finish the landscaping. Its a fun read for anyone interested in building a house. Sadly, its totally neglected though. joernandallisonsnewhome.blogspot.com

A food blog which hadn't been updated since the fall, but I'm starting it up again.

I also built a little site with pictures of our house. I only update it when there's some massive change done, which is hardly ever...
My food blog
What I'm looking forward to in 2012:
Eating our way through (northern) Italy on vacation
<a href="http://www.thenest.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=HTML&utm_campaign=tickers" title="Home DMine is a food-child-musings-on-multicultural-living blog. I stopped for a while after DD hit the terrible twos, then took it up again when we moved to France this year.

Anna, I used to read your blog back when W was small - it must be 3 years ago? Wow - funny, small, virtual world!
I had a blog that was mostly about W, but it died a death wtih two kids and no motivation in the evenings. Actually, it was probably mostly motivated by wanting to procrastinate from my book! :-P
Yes indeed! www.thesongsontheway.com
I'm a major blogger and love blogging so! Esp since I'm unemployed, I treat it as an outlet for working.
"I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels." -Isaiah 61:10 NKJV
How funny! I guess I did used to have a link to it in my siggy, but I had completely forgotten about even the blog itself for a while, much less any half-arsed promotion I did for it.
So is your book done? Sadly, I use blogging as a procrastination technique as well. And posting here. And writing long, heartfelt emails to friends at home. I could probably crank out a chapter a day if I didn't disperse my writing energies so much!
I just re-read what I wrote - I totally sound like a creepy internet stalker, sorry! I don't think I'd have remembered it apart from the name.
My book was my PhD, turned to an academic manuscript. I'd completed two drafts and was 3-4 years into the project when it was shelved by the publisher when they lost their funding for academic manuscripts with the UK budget cuts last year. It sucks, and I should probably be more proactive in looking for alternative sources of funding - or just magic ?5K for it myself.
I really like your post about chain restaurants, I like trying different and new restaurants but I sometimes really miss Chili's! DH and I always try to find a Hard Rock Cafe when we're in a new city (not in America, then we're going to Chili's), because sometimes you just want refillable drinks and familiar American foods.
We're visiting my brother at Rammstein AFB soon, I can't wait to go to Chili's, Taco Bell and Cinnabon there.
It's so funny because I've never been to the dining part of a Hard Rock in the states. (Except when I was friend's with the manager's son and he took us there.) But, I do go to HRC whenever I'm in a city that has it. I've even made a special trip to Cologne to go to one since it's my closest HR.
I'm jealous of you going to Ramstein. I wanted to go there when my parents visited since they're retired military, but we ended up going to the base near where we used to live instead and that base doesn't have a Chilis. Ramstein also has Carrabas. I was trying to figure out when that base will have an Open House/Air Show hoping that those restaurants would be open to non-military. I've been looking this up since I moved here 2 years ago. It turns out they don't do those at Ramstein because of an accident years ago. I wish I could petition them to just let me go to Carrabas... and Cinnabon.
There's a Carraba's? Yummmm. This is going to be an epic trip, we need at least 4 days to get all the food in (and jeans in a bigger size for the return). I really want the bottomless chips and salsa at Chilis...
I still like Macaroni Grill
I have one blog about rides I've done around Costa Rica, but I haven't written in it in quite a while.
http://adventurescr.wordpress.com/
I just started a new one so that family and friends can follow us on our ride through the US/Canada in June, although it's still in the building stages.

I'm scared of this! Especially since I'm pretty liberal and my in-laws are not... I just started blogging (another person who has lots of time on their hands), mostly to show my parents pictures of stuff. http://tidbitsfromvikingland.wordpress.com/
I have one. It's mostly beauty related. But occasionally I do peek into my life posts. I have some great ones for Switzerland. One or two so far for Chicago. Link is in my sig.
I also am really into Instagram. Which kind of documents what's going on in my life. Allibally is that too.

You had me at beauty-related. I am kind of a product-junkie already, but being around all these beautiful French people all the time has made me visit the local Sephora and parapharmacies way more often than is probably healthy or necessary.
So I just read your post about the Walgreens concept store and am a wee bit sad to be gone from New York and this kind of stuff. I am now on drugstore.com trying to find some of the fantastic products you posted about. Gosh does not seem to be one of the brands they carry...

Thank you. It's always nice when people not my husband like my posts.
I have a book review blog here: http://abshepherdsreinventedreader.blogspot.com.au/
And no, that is not my real name or a photo of me.
I started an expat blog when I first moved here but lost interest in it quickly.
