It's funny, I'm a newbie at blotanical (and new at blogging), and for me, I have found it's a cross between journaling and writing essays for a school project. I've been telling my husband I feel like I'm in school again, except that it's more fun this time around, and the fun part is interacting informally with other people from around the world.

Just one thing I want to stress: the pointers above aren't RULES--those of you who know me a bit better than just blog know that my theory about most rules is that they're made to be broken--including, of course, about exclamation points!

Diversity is the best thing about the blogging experience. I get a kick out of the flaws, foilbles and downright weirdness as much as I do the best moments of blogs.

I wasn't sure I'd have anything to write about during the winter, but surprisingly I found things to post about. <BR/><BR/>I don't care for the negative blogs either and try to keep mine cheerful and positive, but sometimes you just have to gripe about winter and pests that eat your plants.<BR/><BR/>With Blotanical titles are more important than ever. <BR/><BR/>I look Robin's Nesting Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894844125547373328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-20641038754168415632008-03-22T01:37:00.000-03:002008-03-22T01:37:00.000-03:00Very good advise Jodi.
