Mommy tales: here, there and everywhere
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010Blogging just about anything has become the rage nowadays. Not only do we find a lot of blogs dedicated to myriads of hobbies and interests and what have you, we also find saner ones. The saner ones of course include tried and tested topics on a lot of different advocacies such as feminism or even the state of the planet’s ecology. Readers are diverse, and of course, it’s easy to imagine that there are those wide read and game enough to read blogs like that, while others see blogging as a necessary evil, just so they know about things.
And then there are the “traditional” readers. While having an eclectic blog setup is good, one must also think of the traditional readers. The “traditional” ones are so to speak, those who still define having a good read as akin to reading articles in what they would expect and find in a book. Mom Conversations is just like that…what you’d expect in a women’s magazine, filled with details of how tos giving pointers to new moms who would like a hands on experience raising their children. There are also obligatory tips for women, mostly on taking care of themselves and feeling good about themselves as well, and consumer awareness. Because of its traditional structure, a lot of people would not be well pressed to understand everything as one would expect reading a typical blogger’s post (that read like mystical diary entries). The information is all there, laid out for everyone to see, to give readers who don’t even blog that there’s hope finding good reads beyond the library. And maybe even encourage them on to gettting blogs for themselves.
While still relatively young (few entries), Mom Conversations is still an awesome read. With a lot of parenting and mom blogs, this one surely deserves a future spot in the big blog leagues for being one of those unusually sane (traditional) blogs without trying too hard. And yes, we all do like a nice read once in a while.
