Target: Bloggers who get up close and personal
Yesterday I got a little personal in this blog. And perhaps for some readers it was too much information. After all why should they care? My life is of no interest to them. Sometimes it is of little interest to me. Well that's one way of getting personal and that way doesn't harm anyone. But many...

Target: Patriotism questioned
It was very interesting that readers assumed that my post yesterday discussed a particular country. Or maybe they didn't but the comments took on a life of their own which often happens on BN. And maybe it is something which is inevitable on such a US-centric platform as BN. The post referred to no...

Target: Patriotism
Most of us are patriots (well with the exception perhaps of those ironic British guys). A patriot is a person who is devoted to and ready to support or defend his or her country. It is impossible not to be patriotic when we live in the greatest nation on earth. Just think about it: This is a...

My epitaph won't read: Here lies blogger No.3
My previous post was not one of those cynical ploys used by bloggers who crave attention or seek popularity. But I can see how it might be interpreted that way. And it is true that during the 20 minutes I spent writing it that I was feeling unloved, under-valued. After all no one had commented for...

Target: the blogging fool
I am on the brink of quitting the Blogging Network. No this is not a cheap click stunt. This is the real Beachbelle, BB, Beachy, Beachbellissima (love it Benzinha) speaking. It is too easy to spend too much time here. I have been drawn into spending many an hour reading posts and commenting and then...

How blogging affects family life
Are bloggers blogging off from family life? Are parents' blogging habits turning our infants into anti-bloggers who will disconnect every computer they see and bash every keyboard just to get their parent's attention. Will our children be the first generation to experience Blogging Addiction...

Target: bloggers who are open-minded
Male 39 (actually 55) seeks female 32 (he means 22): must be open-minded (meaning: sexually adventurous). Well that's one definition of open-minded and bloggers are free to choose their own sexual proclivities. But then I am open-minded, I think. It means being open to other views, unprejudiced...

Target: the Blog-eat-Blog atmosphere around here
My writing life is at peril here on the Blogging Network and it makes me feel ill. Whatever I post seems to appear on some other blog in the following hours and days. You think I am kidding - just think back to disingenuous, discriminating and "Bloggers who.........". It is everywhere. I am not sure...

Target: bloggers who bring out the worst in others
For the most part blogging gets people writing and expressing themselves. It gets them thinking and communicating with people with whom they would never normally cross paths. It helps them develop their speed and confidence in writing. But blogging also brings out the worst in people. In some cases...

Target: Bloggers who sit in judgment
I must have missed this. Apparently the highest courts in the land have recently opened a virtual courtroom which has been sub-let to the Blogging Network. Judgement usually refers to a decision made by a judge but here on the BN anyone can be a judge. It must be the case because every day when I...
