Today’s Fun Monday is being hosted by Lisa at Lisa’s Chaos. She’s asked us to ask a question for our readers to answer.

My question? When did you start your blog?

Nothing hard or particularly creative, but I’m curious how long people have been blogging.

I can’t wait to read your answers!

I started my GLOB in August of 2006 with blogger. Later, I switched to Typepad. It’s been a blast and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Lately, I’ve not had the time to visit many, so I feel out of the loop with my old time friends. I’ve even had the good fortune to meet two bloggers since I started.
I know several bloggers who were friends/family BEFORE they were bloggers:
Nekked Lizards: cousins
De-throned Princess: daughter
Martin Docudrams: daughter
Team Schmoldt: daughter in law
Family P: former student
Pioneer Woman Ree: friend (Wetsy is one of my daughter’s best friends)
So there, you got more than you asked for.

Officially? Live from Waterloo’s birthday is 01/Jun/2006. But I had been working on a blog before that, using the Tripod.com engine. It was terrible, and I dropped it after a while. That one -it had no name- was ‘born’ on 27/Jan/2005.

The interesting thing is that even my previous blog was fully bilingual. Back then, I thought I was original :-)

Well, lessee. Mama Drama officially started without me about three years ago with a lone mama who decided to quit. Then Mama Drama was reincarnated with 5 mamas, none of whom was me. Then one of the mamas moved to Australia, and I — a former crazed commenter — was invited to join. That was 1 1/2 years ago; my blogiversary is January.

Confused? Me, too. All the time. Just ask Mindy. It’s sad, really.

I started blogging about 3 years ago but had to change my url last year. So the current blog you see now was started in January of ‘08. Happy Monday!

September 2, 2006… before we went on our trip to France/Italy. My motivation behind it was so that our parents could soothe their worried little selves by reading and knowing we were still alive. :)

11 jill 08.18.08 at 9:10 am

March of 2007 I think. Not too long ago, but it’s been good therapy for me.

I started a Blogger blog in March of 2006 and then switched to Typepad in December of that year and have never looked back. But, now that I’ve had a baby and have discovered Plurk, I’m slowing down on the blog.

I started blogging on October 22, 2007 after attending a Writer’s Retreat in Taos New Mexico last summer and have published daily at Small Reflections and 3-4 times a week at Sacred Ruminations ever since because it’s fun … though sometimes it’s challenging to balance blogging with my ‘real’ life.
Hugs and blessings,

I can’t believe I started blogging in 2005. Here is my first post on my old blog. I then started my blog now on blogger in April of 2006, and moved to WP around December, and have been there ever since.

I started my blog in May ‘07 one Sunday night on a whim. Friend sent me the Blogger website and I started noodling around with it and before I knew it I had “Summit Musings” up and running. My first comment was to send congratulations to Samantha Larson, a CA teen who’d just summited Mt. Everest. She was able to receive blog messages at her base camp on Mt. Everest–what a thrill.

That Mt. Everest thing is REALLY cool! :)

Hi, Gracie… Thank you for asking. I started this blog in July 2007. I had a blog for a few months in 2003, but that went the way of the dodo bird. :)
