What Has Blogging Taught You?

Thursday, April 1, 2010 by Lolli 40 Comments

Mama's Losin' It

MamaKat’s Writer’s Workshop prompt #1 called for a list of 10 things blogging has taught you. Here’s a quick list, in no particular order:

• I have a social side to me that I never knew existed. Social networking? PR? Suddenly, I’m a pro.

• I am good at something other than making dinner and getting kids ready for school (but I’m still good at that, too!).

• Russian and Spanish are not the only foreign languages I can learn (html IS a foreign language!)

• You can find friends in the most unlikely of places. I never thought I’d find so many in my computer.

• Sometimes it takes documentation for me to recognize my blessings. And my growth.

• Not only can I learn new things in my 30s, but I can learn them well enough to teach others.

• I can fit a lot of stuff into the hours between 9 and 3.

• My kids are very self-sufficient. They can do so much for themselves, and yet they always know that I’m here.

• Blogging takes a lot of time. And brain power.

• I love speaking in front of people. Who would have known?!

    I totally agree with you here. Blogging is work and takes up a lot of time which is what people often do not realize: blogging is fun but blogging is hard work!

    Blogging has taught me that not only am I able to talk a lot, I’m also able to write a lot. Ergo seven blogs…LOL.

    Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 11:31 am

    This is a fantastic list. Blogging can really help you learn some amazing things about yourself and of course about others.

  5. Kimmie says

    Wednesday, July 7, 2010 at 12:18 pm

    Blogging has taught me to not give up on my passion in life, which is to reach out to as many people as possible, through writing, speaking and counseling, about the all the insight I have gained through my own personal experience with overcoming obstacles in life.

    I love this post! Blogging has shown me a totally different side to myself.

    I agree with your fourth one about being surprised how many friends I would find in my computer! Good way to put it!

    *Laughing!* HTML is absolutely a foreign language!

    I love this one best… *Smile* “My kids are very self-sufficient. They can do so much for themselves, and yet they always know that I’m here.” That is so very important.

    Blogging’s major influence on me so far has been that it taught me the necessity in consistency, something I struggle with all the time!

    After six years of blogging I have learned many things. But the thing that I am most appreciative is how blogging restored my passion for writing.

    I have learned that it is sometimes very frustrating. Especially when I can’t figure something out. It is also very rewarding! Great post!

    HTML yup. It is a foreign language.
    Thanks for sharing.
    And YES, you do make friends blogging.
    For this, i am extremely grateful.
    You can stay in touch with old friends as well. ;)

    I never thought of the HTML being a separate language. That’s great. That means I DO know a foreign language!!!!

  15. liz says

    Thursday, April 1, 2010 at 11:39 am

    I totally agree! I have a post in edit about how skills I’ve gained from blogging should really be applicable when I rejoin the workforce in a few years. Great post!

    I completely agree with you there! I just hope that my family understands!

  19. Lolli says

    Thursday, April 1, 2010 at 9:34 am

    You haven’t even opened it?! LOL!
    Good to see you back, Tim! You’ve been missed. But sometimes we all need a break with the family.

  20. Lolli says

    Thursday, April 1, 2010 at 9:34 am

    Yep. I learned enough to get myself around Moscow on my own. While I was sick and pregnant, no less.

  21. Allison says

    Thursday, April 1, 2010 at 9:32 am

    I learned that blogging takes a ton of time. Way more than I ever imagined. But I really enjoy it, so it doesn’t seem like work.

    Thursday, April 1, 2010 at 9:31 am

    That is too funny. I bought this bible if you will on HTML. It is so thick and has little bity words on every page. Its so intimidating to look at that I havent even opened it yet. LOL

    Sorry its been so long since you’ve heard from me. I had to take a bloggy break to spend more
    time with the family. I’m back now though and look forward to reconnecting with some of my best buds like you!

    Hope all has been well. By the looks of your followers it has!

    Love and Prayers,

    Tim

    Oh my gosh, you’re so right…HTML really IS a foreign language! And you don’t even have context to help!

    Thursday, April 1, 2010 at 8:27 am

    I came to the blogging game much later in life. But I, too, can learn HTML. And I write about stuff I never thought I’d reveal.

    But I don’t think I’d like the speaking in public thing – I’m more of the ‘snide comments from the corner’ type.

    Isn’t blogging great fun?
