Sandor you of all people lol, I would think we need all the discussions etc. we could use right here to keep this board alive because it's been asleep for way too long now and it's no one's fault really and just seemed to happen that way.

I pretty much write about anything and everything, whenever I feel like sharing something that's happened in my life.

Well Shane, we can certainly chat about my blog...or anyone elses for that matter!  I guess I can go first lol...

I started my blog the other day!  Was toying with the idea of "vlogging" but I'm not going to sit in front of my camera and talk about crap!  I wanted it to be about food and wine, because I very much enjoy both!  A few months ago, I started a "wine journal" where, if possible, I  take the label off the bottle and stick it in the book.  I date the entry, talk about what I thought about the wine, what I ate with it, etc, etc.  This way, if there was one that I really enjoyed and wanted to revisit it later, I can flip through my book and find what it was!  It also gets passed around my little group of friends and they will add entries and such as well.  I wouldn't consider myself a sommelier by any means.  I enjoy wine and want to learn as much about it as possible.  I also want to be able to share my experiences with others...and not just with wine...but with food as well!

I LLLOVE to cook and I love to eat!  So whenever possible, I want to be able to share recipies that I obtain or that I create so that others may also be able to share in my food experiences!  Even a trip to a local restaurant.  I want to talk about the restaurant so that others may learn what they have to offer and my experiences there!

You'll notice on my blog there are pictures from my wine journal!  I try to describe the wine as best as I can.  Like I said before, i'm not a wine expert so please don't judge my entries lmao

I see... I wasn't against anyone starting a fun blog or anything, I was just thinking like maybe some others here, what on earth are we going to do to generate some conversation on 7W again? Like you said, it seems social media has taken conversations elsewhere and I hope (this board in particular) picks back up again soon because I prefer to hang out here really. I just joined the Ledge so I would have a place to converse for when things were quiet here but can't wait for things to pick back up on 7W soon. The Ledge is fun but sometimes can seem a little juvenile and cliqueish with people or other times you just get weird vibes like some are just fake nice to you instead of just telling you how they really feel, which is what I prefer someone do. None of it matters really because I'd still post and contribute whether people liked me or not    if a topic came to mind that I'd want to share. But yeah, those vibes you feel after being online for years and how it's funny you can read people on here. Hard to explain it but I think most of us have it and can feel when somethings not right.

I read your blog Sandor and can see where starting one could be so much fun. It's nice to read about other people's adventures and finds.

Good Job Sandor, definately a great Idea. I dont have a "blogspot", I mainly post up poetry I write on myspace in my blog there. Just get a poem in my head, usually inspired by some lady I am seeing or just ripped my heart out, lol. Some I just posted from when I came back from war. All depends on my mood and what floats my boat at the time. Nothing that I think is truly great, but frak it, I wrote em

can anyone tell me what the word BLOG really stands for or what it really means? it seemed to just pop up one day in 2002 and before you knew it it was part of our lexicon.

[Sabrina79]

Blog = 'web log'

[Sabrina79]

thank you

The funny part is that I actually didn't know myself what it the technical definition was! Thanks for asking.

i always thought it might be BINARY-LOG that's the only thing that made sense to me.
