So I was trawling through the comments on the daily mail website
in response to the Liz Jones article, I know, I know. It was
completely soul sapping. A lot of bile against bloggers, and
against mothers and children bizarrely, given that everyone was

feel quite defensive and despondent. Bloggers have had quite a
negative reaction on here too, and it's made me start

What do you get from it? Is it trivial and is that ok sometimes?
Why should people be interested in what you write? Do you care
if they are not? If you blog just for you why do it publically?
Do you feel defensive about blogging?  Sorry, that's a lot of
questions, I just wonder if you are proud of blogging, or if its
your dirty little secret, a bit like Mumsnet. I felt so buoyed
