All About Blogs

Hello, Memory Bound friends! At Memory Bound, we've been talking a lot about blogs lately -- how they inspire us, encourage us, and make us smile every day. In the course of our conversation, we discovered that many of our staff members follow lots of blogs, but others were relatively new to the idea. So Dawn prepared this post, All About Blogs, to share with our Memory Bound friends. We hope that learning a bit about blogs opens up a world of inspiration for you!

BLOG – blog noun, verb, blogged, blog·ging. noun

a Web site containing the writer's or group of writers' own experiences, observations, opinions, etc., and often having images and links to other Web sites.

To put it into my own words, a blog is a website I visit on a regular basis for inspiration. Whether it be for recipes, scrapbooking, paper crafting, decorating, or whatever – there is a blog that is sure to give you ideas. I asked our staff to give me a list of their favorite blogs. I thought our Memory Bound customers would love to see the list of blogs we follow! Click on any of the links below to go directly to the blogs.

Purely for laughs and giggles, plus great recipes and stories:

Three of our Memory Bound staff members, Katie, Janet, and Diana, have their own blogs:

For those of you that would like to follow several blogs, it might be helpful to set up Google Reader. Google Reader allows you to keep up with your favorite blogs and see only the new content that has been added. You simply visit your Google Reader page each day to see what's new on the blogs you follow -- rather than having to check each individual blog for updates. If you would like to set this up, there are very easy-to-follow instructions at www.google.com/reader.  Go to the bottom of this page and click on “Take A Tour”.  This will provide you with step by step instructions. Once you have this set up, daily inspiration is just a couple of clicks away!

    I am a blog addict... probably why I don't think Pinterest is super fantastic... you can get so much more from blogs!!
