I knew blogging had arrived two years ago when I heard it casually mentioned on an episode of Gilmore Girls and an episode of Half and Half started with the main character blogging.
But, now I know blogging has officially arrived because even Oprah is writing about it. An article in the March 2007 issue of O Magazine discusses weight loss through blogging. Losing It on the Web, by Sara Reistad-Long, briefly explains what a blog is and goes on to say how having a blog may help some women stick to their diets and support each other.
The article even explains how to set up a new blog. The instructions are very basic, such as set up a free blog at Google’s blogger.com or Yahoo’s 360.yahoo.com and they even tout Six Apart’s services. Once you have your blog set up, then the article urges you to submit it to a blog directory, leave comments on other blogs, and even ask other bloggers for a link exchange.
If you want to read all about it it’s in the March 2007 edition of O magazine, it should be available on news stands.
I didn’t need a huge push to go get more magazines
Thanks for the heads up, now I must get this issue! I guess we will have to plan another trip to the bookstore together

Chrissie,
You should get a year or two year subscription. I love Oprah magazine; it’s down to earth, has a spiritual vibe without being loopy, and the articles are astoundingly well written.
