I read the blogs as they inspire me to do more stuff with my kids and help me find great resources. Being a stay at home mum can be a lonely job and it is great to know I'm not alone in the joys and struggles of parenting. Thank you. Another de-lurker!

I rather wish we had managed to carry on as that was a fantastic thing [its not on the web now, though we have all the files etc!] maybe one day bloggin will lose its allure and fade for something else. one day we may either have to password or rename us adults [note i am gradually renaming!] due to the fact that I am too obvious!![she says , slightly panicking that someone who doesn't know me is going to get back with who i am and wher i work etc etc as we haven't been that privacy cautious!] but until then..

Not weven thought of coming off it, but I have to say at the moment I'm only reading a subset of the blogs regulary, mostly people I've met, of come across enough onthe list to notice them. I do feel there is a bit less of community feel to the ring than there was when we joined are year and bit ago. When I said I was starting up a blog Helen wondered what the point was…… :-)

Personally, I love the blogring - writing my blog and reading all the others is the only contact I have with other He'ers since we moved and it helps me feel not so alone. I know I don't comment much on anyones blog, but I have been reading it since inception and missed it so much when I didn't have net access! Great post Jax.

I would be lost without it.

So much of it echoes my own feelings about blogs. Be careful with that stat-watching addiction - it's hard to break ;-) What a wonderful post! So much of it echoes my own feelings about blogs.
