Blogs

I spend hours on the computer reading blogs. The topic of the blogs range from parenting tips to entrepreneur blogs. The amount of information that is out there is amazing. It is hard to sort through all of it. I am constantly looking for another blog that I want to follow. I post replies to blogs that I can relate to, whether it is regarding Kountr or home life in general.

A couple of days ago I posted a reply to The Entrepreneur’s Life - Does Reality Bite? Amazingly Aliza visited Kountr and provided us with feedback. The network that the Internet provides continues to surprise me. I am thankful that she visited and provided us with feedback. It is nice to know that bloggers' are reading their comments. The Internet may be faceless but it is becoming less daunting to face.

Blogs

I'm new to this blogging thing. It is very daunting... not only to blog but to find and read blogs that may be of interest. As part of our marketing strategy, we are reading blogs and responding to anything interesting. Michael has found many great new ideas, trends and tools by reading his blogs.

On Friday, he mentioned that we have to set up a blog reader for me. I had no idea what he was talking about. Nor, did I realize the amount of time this would require. Setting up the blog reader took no time but the amount of reading that I need to do is enormous. It is also difficult to determine which blogs I can relate to or which ones I will want to read.

So, I am trying out the Google Reader. I searched for "mom" and "entrepreneur" and added 23 subscriptions. I will not be able to read all of these blogs but I will scan them and read the ones that sound interesting. After some time I can weed out the blogs that I am not interested in reading and likely, add to the list.

The real question is: When will I have the time to read all of these blogs?

The Beginning

This is my first personal blog. It is a big step for me. I am a private person and this is very unnerving.

At first I wanted to start blogging to advertise for Kountr. Now, I realize I am doing this as an outlet for me and anybody who wants to listen. I am an at-home mom with 2 kids and I am working with my husband, Michael, to 'make Kountr kount.' I am not the entrepreneurial type but Michael certainly is and he is helping me break out of my shell.

Kountr is a website that simply keeps kounts. We have made the website as simple as possible and are adding features based on user feedback.
