Wedding "Blog"?

CourtneyV · 05-23-2007, 02:27 PM

I'm just wondering about the idea of a wedding planning blog or journal section to the forum? I think I've seen it mentioned before and thought it was a good idea.

Personally, I know there are lots of times where I want to share stories, or how I'm feeling about a particular topic but don't really want to start a new thread or hijack someone elses...

Yay? Nay?

Yay! (although I might become more addicted, if it's possible) I like reading about people experiences

i believe that Tammy was working on this, but she didn't want to implement it since it's still in the Beta version. she wanted to wait until all of the kinks were worked out.

Courtney that is a great idea. Poor Tammy, I don't know how she does all she does. OMG just wait till the baby comes, the poor girl will need a 36 hour day!!!!

hey courtney you could always start a blog for free on blogger or wordpress and just have the link in your siggy so everyone knows to click and read?

this forum software is actually working on a blog that goes with everyone's profile...they have a beta version out but the bugs have not been worked out of it so I am waiting for the bug-free version...

i actually have to upgrade the software this weekend to prepare the forum for alot of great features like blog and more.

Courtney what I think you really want is just a thread to just (for no better term) "shoot the %$#$", say whatever you want, and not worry about getting off topic, am I right?

Sort of. I guess I just want to document the "journey", complain when I want to, brag when I want to without starting a new thread, or have people respond. I mean, they can comment if they want, but they don't have to.

Maybe I'm way off on this, but I'd be interested to see how people are feeling 3 months ahead of time. What did they do? Were they feeling stressed? What about one week before they leave? (if they have time to post!). It would be interesting to go back and read a blog of Sarah's now that she's survived her wedding. Maybe it'd be boring for some people... I don't know.

I think its a great idea! Its a good way to get stuff of your chest, and that way, only people who want to read it will.

Exactly!!! I'm not really one to start a new drama thread unless I really, really need to vent - or I need some awesome advice. A wedding blog would help! I might just take Janet's advice and start one outside the forum and attach a link so people on the forum could read it.
