this woman’s work

There are more to go over yonder but I got most of the ones that needed to go in. I’m trying to clear my desk for the conference — I turned in one rewrite Monday morning and an article that I thought was dead went in last night. I don’t have any other assignments on the horizon other than book reviews but those come later anyway. I’m not drumming up work either.

Anyway, back to blogs. It’s amazing to see all these blogs. It’s different than regular old blog browsing because before I go and look at them I input them — categories and meta-tags, which take a long time. The rest of it is pretty easy. But the categories and meta-tags take forever even though Paige’s husband taught me how to use the CONCATENATE command. So by the time I go and look at the blogs (to grab a screenshot), I feel like I know the people writing them.

I don’t know why, but I find all these blogs out there awfully moving. There’s something so well-intentioned about blogging — people putting their stories out there and hoping people come by to read them. I happily include a lot of smaller blogs in the database (I think people are missing the boat when they think only heavy-hitting blogs matter) and so these are blogs off the beaten track of the blogosphere. But people keep writing because they have something to say.

I like looking at the various designs — there are some pretty, pretty blogs out there. I like when I catch a photo of their kids. I like their funny titles.

I like people — even when they’re virtual!
