Anyone on blogger?

Hiya, after entering a couple of competitions that needed blog posts I decided to set up a blogger blog. Do any other compers keep one as I would love to read other people's? :j

    Not me - but do post a link to yours, I am sure others would like to have a read of yours too.

    This is really sad, but I also felt inspired to set up a blogger account, spent a month writing it and then was too shy to post it! #epicfail

    Just realised how that sounded, was just trying to be quick as the twins are clambering over me. I meant that i'm the sad one for not being brave enough,
    Starting afresh - comping as much as poss!

    Hoping for: some beauty goods, clothes, amazon vouchers, anime, manga, wardrobe, fridge freezer, laptop, an ipad, vouchers for next, exercise goods, a uk break and a wee hol somewhere nice!
    Wishing all a little luck:beer:

    I used to publish a blog on blogger, and absolutely loved it! It's such a great way to vent your frustrations, and to share your highs too, and the amount of support you receive through comments makes it worthwhile.

    Unfortunately I withdrew my blog, as my lifestyle changed a little and so I couldn't continue to contribute to it in the manner I'd hoped.

    Very tempted to set up a new one though :)

    And to kzmicallef, don't be afraid to post your content. With new blogs, the number of views will be pretty low (hence why so my bloggers run comps), so there really won't be many people to judge you. And by the time you've got a following, you'll have hopefully found your feet anyway.

    Good Luck!

    It was for their Retail Royalty Challenge - I was given £30 to spend on a local charity and I ended up running a recruitment drive.

    I have a blog but it's totally unthematic (is that even a real word?) but I tend to post reviews on items I've won

    I have a blog about Jakey and his cranio but I don't update it very regularly, just when we have big appointments or new things crop up things like that. x
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    I'm the same - I have mine set to private. There are just so many blogs out there at the moment though and as mine is just random rather than themed it's not like anyone would read it anyway! Might be useful for comps though, never really thought about it.
