At first she was basically opposed to the idea. A husband in law school who spends an inordinate number of waking hours reading cases on the mysteries of pendant jurisdiction and laboring over legal citation formats for some law journal has no business wasting time on the internet. Besides, “blog” is a really dumb word, and anyone who admits to “blogging” is, well, unhip.<\/p>\n
Of course, from time to time she would read the blogs, and at times she thought they were interesting, even though her husband talked too much about law, and the Metaphysical Elders<\/a> were rather full of themselves at times. She was even known to leave a comment at Times & Seasons from time to time. At least they had women bloggers.<\/p>\n As the bloggernacle expanded, she began reading other blogs<\/a>.

Finally, many hours after midnight, she awakened him with the rustle of sheets as she guiltily crawled into bed. “You’ve been blogging, haven’t you?” he said. From deep under the covers came a sheepish, “Yes.”<\/p>\n Now she was out of the closet. No longer need she pretend, blogging in hidden moments when others were not looking. Time in front of the laptop became a standard part of the evening. She evangelized others to her new-found obsession and a new blog<\/a> was born. She began to report each day on the number of hits her site had received. A post that generated a strong discussion became an occasion for celebration. She began to worry in the night about posts with no comments. Increasingly, marital discussions turned to the dynamics of blogging, and she began to exclaim “Now THAT would make a great blog post!” with increasing frequency in conversations with her friends.<\/p>\n And so she was seduced . . . <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At first she was basically opposed to the idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-corn"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
