Blogs may effect you in unexpected ways
When I decided to start a weblog of my own, my reasons were about me. I would be able to air out my thoughts. I would be able to publish my opinions. A blog about me. All of those things are still true, of course, yet I find myself thinking about others when I blog. I picture an audience. I feel a relationship with other bloggers. Not all other bloggers, but with some of them. Especially, those who read my blog. I find that I look forward to their comments, and I look forward to reading new posts on their blogs.
That is why I was shocked when I went to The Fine Line 3.0 last night. It was gone. Vanished. When I checked again this morning, I found a note saying that cleolove is moving on, no more blog. I am surprised how much this effects me. I’ve never met this person. My direct communication with this person has been minimal. But, I’ve read her personal thoughts and she has read mine. And now my only link to her is gone. Why do I care? I really don’t know. But, I will miss reading her blog. I hope that she finds happiness in whatever she it is that she is doing.
