Oy, Diaryland is like the moon boots of blogging.<br /><br />Anyway, I enjoyed her stuff and then created my own blog over at D-land. After a year or so I took the plunge and purchased cardiogirl.net because the punk who owned cardiogirl.com would not give it up. Even though he was just holding it with a static page that said nothing but file not found.<br /><br />Now he has a gym and he uses the url and I still hate him for it. But occasionally I get some hits for people looking for his site.<br /><br />And yes. I'm still bitter about that.cardiogirlhttp://www.cardiogirl.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256615271055737327.post-72695078542520378812011-01-26T19:23:01.829-05:002011-01-26T19:23:01.829-05:00You hit the nail on the proverbial head.
Just so y...You hit the nail on the proverbial head.<br />Just so you know, I mentioned you this weekend while I was at a Lia Sophia party. I was like, "I know a blogger who sells Lia Sophia, so if I ever buy, I'll be buying through her." And I didn't buy anything. <br />See, you are thought of fondly and every time jewellery is mentioned.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894333322881236627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256615271055737327.post-61981589611787161442011-01-25T22:09:30.465-05:002011-01-25T22:09:30.465-05:00First of all, your mom has a blog and she's ha...First of all, your mom has a blog and she's had it over 5 years? Wow! That is so admirable. I love to hear of other generations hopping aboard the technology train and here she did it before any of us!<br /><br />And thank you so very much! You are too kind. Your words bolstered me up. So here you are giving me this fantastic shout out and here I am posting about my crippling writer self doubt. Go figure. It will get better, though. On Thursday I'm guest posting over at The Girl's site who is also one of my favorite bloggers and very best friends in the blog universe. <br /><br />Here's what got me into blogging. A beautiful girl named Nie Nie of the Nie Nie dialogues. Blogging was rather a foreign concept to me and then I read this article in the NY Times about Nie Nie. She had a very popular blog where she wrote simply about her husband and family and her beautiful decorating skills. Then she and her husband were in a horrific plane crash and the blogging community rallied around them and raised over a million dollars for their medical needs. I was intrigued and the minute I opened her blog, I fell in love. It took me 2 days but I read every single post she'd ever written and then I moved on to her sister Courtney's blog called C Jane Enjoy It. Courtney wrote so eloquently about the pain and the hardship they were all enduring, yet she was always this little bubble of joy no matter what was happening. Nie Nie almost died after being burned over most of her body, but she fought to live and now I still read both sisters along with about one hundred million other blogs. <br /><br />You are so right, this blogging community is such a unique treasured thing, building friendships from words alone. I hope to stick around here for a long time. Thanks again. Your post was beautiful.Joann Mannixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163491824085428085noreply@blogger.com
