Re: Show Your Blog

[...]The new blogging software would help. I did everything in the original blogs in SimpleText!

I still do! Blogging software?

Now there's a glutton for punishment! Especially if you're manually inserting HTML.

Ummm...I am.

Like others have stated about themselves, I, too, can't imagine what others would find interesting about my life. My dad, otoh, was a fascinating man...so I blog about him!

Re: Show Your Blog

I have a few blogs about my personal life, but honestly they're just for my own reference or for my personal friends, and I wouldn't expect perfect strangers to read them (and am often startled when somebody does).

However, I do have one blog that's aimed at a public audience: The Rat Hunter Diaries. I don't update it nearly as often as I ought to, but that's a trend with most of my websites, unfortunately..

Try here for starters, though I know there are many HS writers here, and they can give you a personal spin as well.

Which ones are the tenants and which ones are the members? How do you get to be one or the other?

I almost feel too shy to apply to join...cause it seems you have to apply,

Tenants are people whose blogs "live" on HawaiiStories. Members are bloggers who already have their own blog (like you!) but want to be linked/listed along with everyone else. In other words, if you're a blogger with Hawaii ties, you can be a member. If you'd like to be a blogger with Hawaii ties, we can set you up with a blog as a tenant.

Well, you do. Sites like LiveJournal or Vox or Blogger take all comers, but HawaiiStories is a much smaller community whose members share at least some connection to the islands. So if you're in Houston and want to blog about Texas restaurants, for example, we probably aren't the right 'ohana for you. But if you're an Aiea kid living in NYC, we'd love to have you.

Re: Show Your Blog

And so what else happens over there? Is it for discussion, like here?

[pzarquon]

Re: Show Your Blog

The about page, linked earlier, explains it all. It was initially "community blog," a single blog with many contributors. Discussions did occur, but based on individual posts, and the focus of the content was personal storytelling, not general discussion (though the number of random discussions that popped up is what prompted me to start HawaiiThreads). Blogs and message boards are different beasts. Some kinds of expression and interaction work better in one venue than another.

To foster more storytelling, HawaiiStories also started hosting blogs for people. And these days, no one really posts to the "community blog," instead writing away on their individual blogs (which are also excerpted on the front page).

If you have any more questions about HawaiiStories, feel free to contact me. Let's get back to finding more blogs!

Re: Show Your Blog

My blog is at HawaiiStories, too.

I like having different categories. Some stuff is all in pidgin, others, like my knitting stuffs, I write in good kine English.

However, I did have several non-pidgin speaking readers tell me what they love about my blog is the pidgin!

I'd thought about having 2 separate blogs, (one in pidgin), but decided against it. I do give a warning on my category list which ones are in pidgin. Then people can choose what they want to read.
