Internet Island Topic Post #32: Home is Where the Heart is.

Last month I asked Islanders why they joined the blogring, and asked for some advice concerning why this blogring isn’t too active, when other participatory blogrings always get lots of traffic, and new Xanga features like “Featured Question” are so popular. The consensus, from what few responses I received, was that I write far too many subtopics for each Topic Post. My reasoning has always been that the more selection, the more participation. I guess most people think it’s overkill.

Hence, this topic post will be short, and will consist of only three subtopics, all geared toward the main theme: “Home is Where the Heart Is”. I won’t write long introductions, as usual. These subtopics are short and sweet. As usual, I am hoping for a great turnout, and I wish to thank all the Islanders who still regularly post entries for the topics. A warm welcome to any new members whom I might not have visited either as Internet Island or baldmike2004.

32.1: Define “Home”: What do you think of when you hear the word “home”?

32.2: Away From Home: How far have you travelled?

32.3: Homework: What are your “chores”? How do you contribute to your household? If you don’t contribute, what constitutes the “homework” you do around the house, if any?

The Topic Post will last about a month. Please enter the link or date of your Internet Island Topic Entry for this post in a comment here. If you are creating a link, make sure you link to the page with the “comments” box and not the page with five entries. (HERE IS A TUTORIAL ABOUT HOW TO MAKE LINKS.) The purpose of Internet Island Topic Posts is to help get the members of the Internet Island Blogring to exchange comments and get to know each other. Please check back periodically for new entries throughout the posting period.  If you post a topic entry, please make an attempt to visit the other Islanders who do so as well. It is also a good idea to post the link to the Topic Entry in your own entry so that other interested parties can come here. You can copy/paste the Topic Post links right here in this entry into your own weblog entry box.
