Does anyone here keep a blog?

If so, have you been blogging at all about First, or any of your competitions?

If I'm at a regional, I'll be trying to blog about it everyday when I get back to the hotel. I'll be doing it again at the Waterloo regional, like I did at the GLR one. But, should I be worried about posting any information? Is there things I can't publically say, like standings, awards, ect?

So, post your blogs!

Re: Blogs

Yes, in fact a lot of FIRSTers keep blogs as it turns out. That's why, last summer, Tim Ginn launched FIRST Blogs, which is a feed of all the blogs kept by FIRSTers. I'd suggest you all add yours to the directory, mine's in there already (blog.alexpelan.com).

Re: Blogs

Well, I mostly only blog about First, but the rest of my blog consist of links to random things, like videos, ect. If you check out my blog, you can probably get a better idea.

So, should I still add it to the site?

Re: Blogs

I have more than a few "blogs" around the web, but only two that I post in seriously:

http://www.factorfantasy.com/meanders.html
http://indignant-blink.livejournal.com/

The one on my website is kind of vague because my family and friends have access to it but I think the vagueness adds something to it. My livejournal account was started because a former student on my team harassed me until I created one. Neither my family nor my friends outside of robotics have access to it.

Erm... Yeah I sort of try to keep a blog.

Well, it doesn't always workout (sometimes I don't post for weeks at a time), but yeah I get around to it at times and I post a message here and there. Sometimes, around build season / competition time, I post about FIRST aswell.
