Starting a Family Blog

Posted on June 26, 2005

Eamonn Sullivan, an editor living in London with his spouse and five children, has a blog post titled, Family Blogging 101, that guides readers through the process of creating a blog with Blogger.com. Sullivan has been blogging a series about how the Internet can bring families closer together. Sullivan compares blogging to a public park:

The best analogy is like meeting in a public park. I get into conversations all the time with other parents, or other dog walkers. A shared interest brings people together. You'll find that total strangers on the other side of the world are sometimes very interested in how you got your three-year-old to eat carrots.

In his next part of the series Sullivan plans to explain how to use Flickr, which he says is another way of showing family life using photos. It is a good series for families first learning about blogging.
