Hi everyone. I haven't posted for awhile, but I was thinking about how much it helps to actually write feelings down and what not. When I went through all my junk I know that 100% it helped to write. So anyway, my Pastor had made a website to blog on. (it's www.expressblogger.com)

Anyone can use it, just sign up... It would be so amazing if a lot of us here could blog together on a similar site and be able to interact and read each others thoughts.

He won't make any money at this point, it's just a place for us to blog...just FYI. Anyway the new site is here:

Okay, I'm stumped...doesn't take much.

Isn't that what we're doing here at MB?

I know I'm missing something, but what?

Yes, blogging can be therapeutic. I blogged before I found MB. But MB is much more than blogging... you get advice, you get support, you talk to people who can share their points of view, and you can choose to pray together... all from people who subscribes to basic MB principles.

In my blog, many other people visit and comment, but most are prejudiced against WSs or are naive in relationships... no understanding of POJA, DJs etc. Also, MB discussions are 'categorized'-- infidelity, divorcing, divorced, emotional needs, so you know which section you want to go to to discuss a particular topic. This I've never seen in any blog sites.

And, our moderators at MB makes sure things don't get out of hand, which is also unavailable at blogging sites.

I've been thinking that a wiki would be an excellent companion to the boards, i.e. a place to collaborate on Plan A, Plan B suggestions, reverse babble, tips for newly betrayed spouses, etc. The content of the permanent posts at the top of some of the boards could go there too.

Okay, RN & Int,

Help me out, please. How is blogging different than these threads? Like paradise_blue's journal posts? Many others I see and post to seem like blogs to me, answering blogs, maybe?

I dunno. I agree with the moderators monitoring as different. That part I see.

I'm not arguing, I'm confused. What makes these threads not blogs? People share their thoughts, feeling and beliefs...struggles, examples, and their perspectives.

How is this not a blog?

LOL

I'm blonde. More than roots show.

I agree that these forums are essentially the same as blogging. I see no need to go somewhere else to blog.

But one thing that is sometime difficult to find, is the pearls of wisdom in various threads that are suitable to be shared with many newcomers.

Reverse babble, the stages of grief, WAT's Quickstart Guidelines for Betrayed Spouses, warning signs that your spouse might be having an A, Mortarman's military style intro to fighting for M through plan A.

These are hard to find, are generic enough to be useful for many people, are not intented to replace Dr. Harley's basic concepts. I think a wiki would help to allow MBers to collaborate on making these nuggets easy to find.

Hey, Int...

Why not put those urls in your sigline? Then when you post to newbie's, they have access? And maybe then, someone blonde and ditzy like me, might copy those urls and put them in their sigline! Oh, and then another poster...

I'm kinda into that watching ripples of goodness go around the world thing right now.

You're right...and I had no idea what wiki's were. Cute. Doable. You got my vote.
