It's no secret I love blogging. I really enjoy taking and editing photos, stringing images and words together and arranging and then re-arranging layouts and designs. It dawned on me recently just how many technological skills I've acquired since I first started. For me, getting the hang of applications like
Picasa,
Blogger,
Lightroom and
Adobe Photoshop is a big deal.
Photoshop still eludes me somewhat, but
Lightroom is becoming easier to navigate. And aside from negotiating software applications, all this writing has enhanced my grammar and spelling skills too. Whilst some bloggers have a gift for words, they definitely don't flow easily for me. I really have to work hard to put my thoughts into a coherent readable fashion;
one worthy of your time anyhow! I type and read, type some more and re-read, re-word and hit 'delete' more times than you can imagine. Online thesauruses and dictionaries are my friends and I dip into them often, both with intent to expand my vocabulary generally and because I want make my writing more interesting. All this blogging and use of technology nourishes my thoughts and provides a healthy exercise regime for the old noggin. I think with those reasons alone I can justify why I spend so much time blogging!

I'm the same. i often struggle to put words together. some of my favourite blogs though are simply worded with lovely pictures. that's what i aim for too.

oh, I agree. I love all those elements of blogging and the way that there are so many different parts to it. I come from traditional media where you usually do art OR editorial, it's so fun getting to do both...and more!
