I completetly agree with your assessment of Andrew Hofmeyr. I liked Dan Sonnenberg as well, he projected a sort of European savoir-faire and forthrightness. Your observation about not giving the 'complete truth' on one's blog is something I can relate to. As Celeste says, perhaps a more personal blog is needed so that this one is specifically for more 'serious' matters.Ijeoma Uche-Okekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719584212904035171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806248488188558390.post-76720389452385407962007-04-17T11:53:00.000-07:002007-04-17T11:53:00.000-07:00Yo Thomas...Shotto on the summary.

Good stuff.<BR/><BR/>My comment about content not being important is really in conjunction with my idea that HOW you say things is much more important than WHAT you say.<BR/><BR/>Think back to my comments about blogging your breakfast. This MIGHT be a terrible piece of CONTENT, but it COULD be some kind of artwork, utilising CONTEXT.<BR/><BR/>When Celeste was blogging her work experience, she was revealing to her employer (and the world) HOW she works. The CONTENT of her blog was not important in the least. The FACT that she was blogging, that she was sharing, that she was revealing growth, that she was helping other people to grow... THESE were the important things.<BR/><BR/>And you can achieve these important things by blogging about your breakfast.<BR/><BR/>Does this help?<BR/><BR/>Blue skies<BR/>love<BR/>Roy<BR/><BR/>PS: I recommend that you change your blog settings to allow anonymous comments. Currently, it's set to the default, which only allows logged in blogger members to comment. This locks out almost ALL people who might want to comment.Roy Blumenthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01194440829358126889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806248488188558390.post-58250807703265183152007-04-16T03:02:00.000-07:002007-04-16T03:02:00.000-07:00Hi ThomasI completely understand what you are sayi...Hi Thomas<BR/><BR/>I completely understand what you are saying about the extent of information you give on your blog. But believe me, once you're into it you get more comfortable. I made a conscience decision to focus on my working experiences on my blog. The reason: I am still contemplating creating a different blog where some of my own personal life experiences will come through. <BR/><BR/>Maybe that is something you can decide to do? Just a suggestion...use it, don't use it :)<BR/><BR/>Keep on blogging!<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/>CelesteCelestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111172732346855001noreply@blogger.com
