Hello....I know it has been awhile since my last posting. I am having a hard time finding the time to work on these "Things". First off I had lots of trouble trying to get Technorati to work. The first three times I tried to go there the computer either timed out or locked up in the search. Could it be too many of us were trying it at the same time? Are some of our computers just too old? Or the network overtaxed...umm...whatever..
I finally got Technorati to work and I put in a non-work search term of "Thimble Collecting" to see what would come up. (Thimbles are on my mind since I brought most of my collection here to work for a display. I will see if I can insert a picture later...still learning)
The results were weird to say the least. The only thing I found of interest was the videos of thimble collecting.....wow there is one video that shows a collection of thousands of thimbles in display cases covering all available wall space even over doors!!! Now that is insane...not a collection but an obsession!
Anyway back on topic... next I went to Google Blog Search and entered the same search term and I hit the jackpot!!! I found blogs from other collectors, thimbles for sale, display cases for thimbles, history of thimbles, thimble collecting clubs.... and so on and on.
As for the question "Why would I want to search blogs?" my answer is to find others with similar interests or help in gaining knowledge on a variety of weird topics like thimble collecting!!!
