Baby blog, anyone?
June 26, 2005Maybe it’s because I am not married yet nor do I have a baby, so I have never felt how it is to have a baby. But I find the most baby blogs I have ever seen are way too childish with all those smileys which make the page load so slow. IMHO, these are the reasons why parents keep a baby blog:
- To keep all the memories on one site
- To let people know what’s going on with their babies
And many more. I understand that parents are happy and proud for their babies, they want people to know what is going on with their babies, but if I get a child and want to have a baby blog, I’d blog in a mature way because I know that what I want is to keep all the things happened to my baby memorized so I don’t need to pretend to be my baby and don’t want to fool people around to make them think that my baby posts its entry because they know that a baby has no ability to type something on the keyboard. So, in short, people know that I am the one who type and I don’t want them to think that I am a childish mommy.
I have ever liked smileys on blog, but then I started to think that smileys eat my bandwidth and make the page load slowly. Time passed, I find smileys so childish, I know that smileys describe the expression of the blog’s author, I like smileys, but not as a gif images, text only. So, if I one day have a baby blog I shouldn’t create a gif image smileys, the page will load faster and I don’t want to waste the dial-up connection’s users’ time to wait till everything’s loaded on my blog. I don’t want to pretend to be a baby, I pretend to be a mother because then I am a mother who is proud to have a baby, not a mother who is proud to be a baby ;-)
Hell yeah, I am rude on this! But I just don’t get why mothers pretend to be the baby on their baby blogs because it can be considered as a lie and its one of the sinful activities, no?
you know what they say, “use emoticons instead of emotions”.
it saves a lot of time and effort
and baby blogs … LOL .. i bet when they would grow up they would sue their mother .. child abuse at an early age …
haa

Heh, that was funny.
I don’t think I even know how to “activate” the smileys on my blog.

I also hate gif smileys because they are 100% childish.

TDH: and maybe if they grow up the parents dont have the blog no more? :D or they let the children blog :)
Shaima: on blogger you search for smileys on the other net and take them on your blog using img src as how you add a picture on your post :D WP has ability to enable smileys but I don’t use them
Alan Ambot: have you ever seen a fetus blog? :D If it exists I’d run away from my notebook :)) don’t dare to see the fetus lol
aGentX: what ya doin’ ? hahahahahahahah :D
Raheel: smileys are not nice on blog, except if we use it on the chat box heheh …

Yes, those pages can really frustrate you. And in the end most of the babies look the same way when they are small.

I never learnt to use them aptly. On the other hand I lost a friend who was to teach me to use those tiny winy icons.
