It works.  I&#8217;ve tried it.<\/p>\n<p>And on Friday I spent the morning hanging out with Abby of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/whileshenaps.typepad.com\/\">While She Naps<\/a>.  We have gotten together a few times before, but I am always amazed how great it is to see her in person, see her work and just chat about what we&#8217;re doing- sewing, blogging, etc.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image663\" alt=\"121abby.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/121abby.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I have had only wonderful experiences meeting up with fellow bloggers.  It is so easy.  There is not all the explaining to do&#8230; &#8220;what do you do? why would you do THAT! what is that blogging thing anyway? why would you do it? &#8230;  So much of what makes meeting a new person hard\/ weird\/ scary for me- we&#8217;re already past that. We have connected through our blogs.  I put myself out in the online world in a take it or leave it situation.  If you don&#8217;t like what I&#8217;m doing, easy.  Don&#8217;t come back.  The people who are interested, stay.  When I meet up with someone I&#8217;ve connected to through blogging, there is no need to prove that what I do is valid, interesting, art, worthwhile or anything.  We have already gotten past that before we  met.   So, phew, one more thing I love about blogging!<\/p>\n<p>Now, a question.  When you click on a link in a posting, do you like a new page to open up or is that annoying?  I like having a new page open up but what about you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>so are you seeing my new banner? So much better!
