Bibimbap 비빔밥

Honorable mention

Bard's Hall Blogging Merit Badge

Honorable mention. I will try to do better next year. This year I was thrilled just to finish. My concern? Blogging is still not respected and apparently there has always been a discussion as to what a blog is and what purpose it serves.

Like the difference between Bookface, It'sagram, Twatter and Tock-Tic. None of them are good for blogging though. Bookface is great to keep connected and is useful for photos; Twatter serves blurby banter (great for the inarticulate or irrational); It'sagram works for short poetry or prose and photos; Tock-tic is video based and unfortunately misused and easily misinterpreted (there is no rest-of-the-story). All serve folks who prefer scandal and shallow connections. Memes may be 'funny' but they are a waste of time for me personally.

So... back to blogs.

BOOK

L'aura del Campo  (13+) Online journal capturing the moment and the memory of moments. A meadow meditation. #982524 by Kåre Enga in Montana

started as my main blog when I was homeless. It was eclectic. Nowadays I use it for poetry.

BOOK

Enga mellom fjella  (13+) Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills. #1317094 by Kåre Enga in Montana

replaced dear L'aura and eventually was used for poetry/prose, now mostly prose that may someday become its own item.

BOOK

Hoarfrosts from Hell  (GC) Anything I'm not happy about or that I don't want in my main blog! #997339 by Kåre Enga in Montana

began as a place where I could 'hide' thoughts I didn't want released to the general public. some entries are further restricted.

BOOK

Porthole  (13+) A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. #1311011 by Kåre Enga in Montana

is my current garbage bag blog of blah blah blah. But it serves to keep me focused on my day and random thoughts are best placed there.

No sweat really. WdC writers seldom read blogs (I keep track of views) and even fewer leave a 'like' and seldom do I get a comment. 7 people commented in BiBimBap in June. Which was nice. I haven't responded to all comments yet; I usually do in time.
