Blogging – how I started and why I blog
Blogging – it is almost SEVEN years since I started blogging! How did it all begin? You can read my first (and very boring!) post HERE I didn’t really know what a blog was when I created my blog! I had started digital scrapbooking, and found that other digital scrapbookers were using a blog to…
