Today has no topic but a fun exercise in discovering new blogs. This was Frances’ suggestion:
go to a blog we read regularly & from their blogroll, go to another blog, and from that blog go to another via that blog’s blogroll repeating the steps till we have 7 blog links – 1 we know well and 6 others we discovered because we went exploring. Here goes:
A blog that I regularly read – Selma In The City – as I said in my previous post, Selma is one talented lady. She has many blogrolls but my eyes just went to the Canadian blogger blogroll for some reason.
From Selma’s Canadian Bloggers blogroll, I came to this blog – From Nat’s Brain
I find this blog to be full of humor, music and a little bit of everything. I think I’ll come back to visit soon.
And from that blog’s blogroll – Groovebunny
I click on this blog because of the name – groovebunny…deep thoughts, limited vocabulary. I”m always fascinated by names bloggers choose for their blogs. Groovebunny hasn’t update her blog since September of last year. But there is humor here and tales of work and personal things which most bloggers write about. I might check back here to see if there’s any updates.
And I came to here - Mr. Lugubrious
Another humorous blog which I like but it’s too bad Mr. L hasn’t update in awhile.
And here – Last Girl on Earth
Last Girl on Earth is Deni Bonet, a musician who sounds like a bit like Pat Benatar and Debbie Harry. Humorous posts and music. And also another blogger not updating their blog. Fun fact- Bonet toured with Cyndi Lauper (one of my favorite singers) and is on the DVD, At Last, which I happened to own.
And here – Kross-Eyed Kitty
Another blogger that hasn’t update their blog since 2009 and also another humorous blog. I seem to come across these a lot and strangely enough, these are the blogs that attracts me the most.
And finally here – Interrupted Wanderlust
I love the name - Interrupted Wanderlust. The blogger, Kristi, writes with an easy directness and some humor.
That’s it for our 7 day experiment. I think it’s a great experience in not only sharing thoughts but sharing parts of ourselves since we post with the same topics in mind. Even though this doesn’t make me like wordpress any more than before (which wasn’t much), I still find it an rewarding experience. I had trouble posting photos and adjusting the sizes. But one thing that I learn is, there is no difference which platform you use to blog, it’s all the same. Plus I found out a few new things about Frances.
Please visit Frances at my blog in which she is guesting for this week. Thanks for dropping by.

Thank you for coming up with the 7 day experiment – it was a great experience.
And thanks too for allowing me to partner with you on the daytrippers – http://www.nydaytrippers.com – I’m hoping some of your magical photo skills will rub off on me. When you look up at the sky it looks back at you in a special way.
And why not?
You’re quite the special lady.
Much bloglove,
Frances

I have enjoyed your blog exchange very much. I am glad you liked Nat’s blog. She is a really cool lady.
Now you two have to meet, don’t you think? You both live in New York. It would make a great blog post (hint, hint..)

@Selma, I always enjoy humor in other people and Nat seems like such an interesting lady, don’t know about meeting her, perhaps some day…

I love these kinds of exercises and shout outs to other bloggers. I’m very curious, lissa – what led you to mine?
Enjoying reading your blogs. Glad your following directed me to them. Isn’t blogging great? Such a splendid community of writers.

@Fantastic Forrest, sometimes it’s just plain random browsing which is pretty much how I end up at some blogs and in your case, I have no clue. I wish I can remember but I don’t.
Thanks for your visit anyway.
