I never thought anyone else would ever care. I still have a small readership, and that's okay with me! :-) <em>Jen's last blog post..<a href='http://joyfulnotes.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/a-familys-worst-nightmare/' rel="nofollow">A Family's Worst Nightmare</a></em> Yes, I told my family because it was originally all for them, just newsy stuff.

My husband knew from day 1 because he's the one who set it up and is my blog designer. He reads every word. Sometimes that's not good! But, I really have nothing bad to say, it's just that I don't always like feeling like I have to watch what I say, but, that is a good thing. The rest of my family/friends didn't know for up to a year, and I would say that most still don't, except for very close friends. <em>Jennifer in OR's last blog post..<a href='http://www.diaryof1.com/2008/05/21/the-artist/' rel="nofollow">The Artist</a></em> Great post!!

My husband, however, told EVERYONE and since he is very social and a minister it didn't take long for word to get around. <em>Tara's last blog post..<a href='http://tarasviewoftheworld.blogspot.com/2008/05/fathers-day-contest.html' rel="nofollow">Father's Day contest</a></em> Actually, I really didn’t tell ANYONE about my blog at first.

I was very proud of my blogging and I frequently send links to articles with family pictures to friends so they can easily see what we are up to. My dad rarely (maybe once a month) gets on a computer, but his wife does and they like to come by and see pictures of the kids. My mom knows about the blog, but I have no idea if she reads it except when I send her specific links. My stepson reads most of my post. In my family he is my most faithful reader:) My hubby was blogging before I was.

My kids (16 and 21) now read it, and my husband stops in now and then and complains that his blog nickname is boring. :) My inlaws -- well, they wouldn't get it. Last Christmas we were explaining why so many gifts were wrapped in Amazon boxes. "You buy things? On the Internet?"

It's funny, now, when a co-worker or a "new friend" finds out about it because they really want to go read it and most spend a lot of time pouring over it....maybe they are just looking to see if I have written about them- ha ha !
