ON READING
QUERY: Questioning Underlying Essentials of Reading for Youth The six questions which any good reporter asks while working a story, must also be asked about the process of reading—How? Who? Why? What? When? Where? How does one learn to read? Example and practice are two essentials. My mother read to...

If you Blog it They Will Come!
Bloggers are artisans—they build houses. They labour in construction: some build up walls, others tear them down; some frame windows, others hang sheers and drapes (and yes, for a few there are curtain calls); some shingle roofs, others strap the exterior with siding; some are interior decorators,...

So What's the Deal with Comments
A very well known blogger—who shall remain nameless because you all know her—recently commented upon the extent to which bloggers remain an anonymous bunch. It stimulated a few thoughts about the commenting process. Comments can be a cliquish part of the blogging network, but they don’t have to be....

Are you the iron? Or the bored?
(guess the tune/band and win a click!) “Variety is the spice of life—that’s what the judge is gonna tell my wife!” Well as true as the first part may be, I’m not about to give a cent of alimony! So don’t expect the divorce proceedings any-time, ever! My wife and I have been happily (apart from the...

Another take! Maybe this time we get it right. Places. Lights. Camera.
Action! Well this blog was nearly dead until a moment ago when the cameras started rolling again. The world of Blogit is beckoning me back from a hiatus. Passionflower is encouraging a blog on the dangers of drug abuse. The lead role in that type of a picture would be a recovering addict--no meagre...

Why is Blogging Like a hike?????!!!! Take a trip with me and see:
the bloggers strike out for parts unknown; they strive to make their stories real, and their characters full-blown; the fancy fire of their metal forge shapes words with ardent lust; and though they write despite the cost, they write because they must!

BLOG CALISTHENICS
Cerebral gesticulations: the BLOGGER's nightmare, according to Ariala. And yet! Why else would we bother. This is a mental gymnast's playground. We live to learn, and we learn to live. Wherever we work, we earn; wherever we earn, we work. Therefore, BLOGGING is work. But what better way to pass the...

How is BLOGGING like 8-ball??? Well there are 15 balls in a typical game
of course, and they are divided into two groups stripes and solids. The solids are the numbers from one to seven. There are seven days of the week in which to BLOG. Whoever gets solids takes a daily BLOGGING pattern. Days. Now as I see it we can equate the high numbers (9-15) or stripes with the...
