Blogs are very easy to write in.<\/b>  Well, depending on how fast you can type, I suppose!  Especially if you’re simply writing about something you already know about.  And the nice thing about blogs is, they can be read by newsreaders.  I wrote about how to get this blog read by a newsreader here.<\/a>  I’ve added a little link to the RSS page – it won’t make a lot of sense if you just click on it, but if you use the link address (which is http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/findingdirection) in your newsreader you’re all set. I also just discovered that My Yahoo!<\/a> has a place where you can put newsfeeds. Just add content, and make sure you can add content from around the world, and look for RSS. The rest is up to you.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I also have a brand new blog on my migraine website, which you can see right here<\/a>.  So, what do you think?  I just put it up today.  You can even put it in your newsreader.  The nice thing is that I can write every week, or just every month – whatever I prefer (I imagine my visitors would get a little frustrated if things got too out of date, but hey).  But it only takes about 5 minutes to write a new blog.  Pretty easy way to keep a web page up to date.<\/p>\n

New visitors to this website gasp in amazement at the amount of time I must put in to it, but really at this point it’s a few minutes a week – if that.  Of course, while we were away I didn’t even do that.  It’s just the build up, little by little, over the years<\/a>.  If I had to do it all now, I wouldn’t have the time! \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
