Just trying this thing out

I have never had a real live blog before! I used to blog on myspace, like 90% of the rest of the world. That eventually got old and I switched to an email list when I got preggers. I called it my "Baby News" list and I would send out monthly-ish email updates of my pregnancy and life. Then Squishy stopped being an easy to manage fetus and became Killian my colicky little firecracker. With very little time to fit in luxuries like writing I stopped my email lists somewhere around month 2 of my little guy's life outside of my womb. Since that day about 10 months ago or so I have had a few requests from previous "Baby News" recipients for updates. Since I now worry about being one of those parents that shove pictures of their offspring into people's faces I am not comfortable resuming my emails but a friend suggested a blog and that seems like a good compromise. So I have just created KatysSecretOnlineLife and here we are! I have a few friends with blogs and they all have "blogspot" in the address so I typed "blogspot" into my search engine and followed the directions. I hope I can link to other people's blogspots and get updates when they post something, but we'll see how this thing works after I get my first blog posted.
If you're out there reading this please say hi and tell me you stopped by so that I know this is working. If you have a blog and can link to me (I'm picturing a myspace-like network, I hope that's a feature) please do. I love to read, I love to write and I would really like to join the world outside of Killian's bubble. I haven't been able to keep up with current events of the world at large or even what were once good friends of mine and I hope this can change that.
If you have any advice on this dealio go ahead and let me have it.
Thanks for reading!
Much love,
Katy
