Re: Blogs

Actually my website is made up of a few blogs... My front page is a Blogger blog inserted into an iFrame, and the rest are pages made in a Wordpress blog again.. in a an iFrame.. Why did I do this VERY SILLY THING?
Cos I cant program my own Wordpress template... Boo Hoo.. but I like being able to update my site from any computer without having to access ftp or anything.. altho I AM hosting the Wordpress blog myself.

Personally Im not in the slightly bit interested in other peoples diaries.. what is that??? Do people think they are being read by millions ???  But for people who can actually write and have something to say, I think blogs are a great publishing tool.

I DO have a few blogs bookmarked (or I did before I wiped my mac 3 hours a go.. ha ha!! the once a year clean up ) ... I had a blog by an Palestinian schoolgirl, and a blog from a Schoolgirl in Bagdad, and a blog from a guy who keeps pidgeons.. and a Norwegian Blog by an 92 year old guy who lives in a remote valley in Norway that can only be accessed by boat, so in the Winter he stocks up and is not seen again for 4 months, he has never been to Oslo.. let alone out of the country...... A TV company here gave him a computer and an internet connection... He likes Car Crash Games and Porn... and...

well I like fascinating insight blogs...

I have several blogs that I work on with a small group of contributors.
They are not related directly to music except in the sense that they are creative endeavors.
Here are the links:

(the latest post on this one is actually about music but that is just coincidence...)



And finally the blog about El Salvador and my experiences there:

I would welcome any feedback or comments on any of these.

Which loopers here are regular bloggers? I've read Fripp's blog on DGM and
(Crimson biographer) Sid Smith's blog on Blogspot for many years - (I've met
both in person quite a while ago and feel a personal connection to them, and
I enjoy the way they write), and I've been following Matt Stevens's blog on
myspace since I met him on the Norwich loopfest in 2007. I find that there
is something about feeling connected to far away living people who I've met
personally when I read their blogs, and of course it can also be interesting
to see what they're up to. Also, it is nice to get photos, videos, and music
in addition to the writing. There are of course many of us who write very
occasional news blogs on their myspace pages but often there are too long
gaps in between, so there is not enough of a feeling of continuity.

I've started my own blog a few days ago (veloopity.blogspot.com) although
I'm very busy at the moment, but it felt like the thing to do. Don't know
yet how often and how extensively I will post and how long this will be kept
up, but it is a potentially interesting thing to do that I have never done
before.

If there is enough interest we could set up a little looper blog list on
