One thing I said was that a blog is a medium like a pencil or a pen. And no-one has the right to tell us how to use that 'properly'. Last time I checked freedom of speech was a fundamental human right! Besides which, she is just plain wrong.

They make me think, laugh, and inspire me to do better work, myself.

I now rethought my position. It is more like a bee meeting - you don't talk about just quilting at a bee meeting - you talk about kids, health, family, problems, etc.<br /><br />I don't like blogs that are for marketing.

Like you, the thing I enjoy most about blogs is the multi-dimensional peek into other quilter's lives. I may be moaning about the ever-present fog, when I read of others buried under several feet of newly-fallen snow. Or with a click of a mouse, I can vicariously visit Hawaii.<br /><br />Or I Suzanne Kistlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397419255208702184noreply@blogger.com
