I got the latest issue of TOS this weekend!  I was so excited! I just LOVE that magazine!  It was so neat seeing and reading about so many of the people that blog here.  I found myself saying, "I know her blog.  I have typed her!"  It was really nice.  It made it very peronal.

     Okay, so my question of the week is this;  What type blogger are you?  I think I am the Taxi Driver...trying to avoid any accidents and wandering off the road every once in a while.  How about you?  thanks in advance, icart.

  I have proof!  My 12 year old daughter decided to start her own blog!  Not because I told her to or offered her extra credit...she just went ahead and started one!  I love it.  Check it out..."Being a Girl isn't Easy" at homeschoolblogger.com/sk8brdingguitar.

   I am sure she will have more bells and whistles long before I get them going.  I am still working on organizing my categories...I haven't had the time to "play."  But keep looking...I will get this place looking good before long.  icart

Okay, I love rummaging through everyone's blogs.  You guys are so creative!  My question is...where do you go to find out how to manipulate your blog?  Like how do you use "categories" and post blinkies, etc?  I really want to get my blog better organized...I have so many ideas running through my head, but I am not sure how to get them on paper...thanks, icart.

...my question is a "wishy" one.  If you could have anything you wanted on a single website...what would it be?

     This blog is my first step towards making a family website.  Each of the kids would like their own page.  I know I would LOVE to have links to all my favorite sites and my son even suggested a "coupon of the day."  I love it.  I like the beautiful and calming pictures on so many sites too.  What about you?  What do you like or want?  Looking forward to hearing from you...icart

     So, today begins my quest for answers....using the web.  Please bare with me,  I have a LOT of questions.  I promise to start off slowly, but there will be days when I may become frantic.  You see I have three children, two of which I homeschool.  All three have different personalities and quirks (LOTS of quirks).

     My very first question is:  Why do you BLOG?  I am hoping for an information highway to show up at my door.  I am hoping for a place to vent my Italian craziness.  I am hoping to meet kindred spirits in a world that sometimes seems insane.  But mostly, I am hoping to find that I am not the only one with...whatever the "with" is for the day.  Am I expecting too much?  Can I hope for more?

     Thanks in advance for the answers...Icart
