I'm not online very much these days - actively home educating three intelligent girls and keeping tabs on one boisterous son means I rarely have the time to sit and write. I visit a couple of forums, read a couple of blogs, and that's about it - as my post count shows on here, I don't have much time to compose blog posts.
I thought facebook would be a good substitute - it's quick, and to the point. But I'm finding out that I absolutely hate it. Some things are a real blessing, and I invariably enjoy the contributions of Stacy MacDonald, Kim Shay and a number of others.
But there are others, and I'm ashamed to say it's mostly my own blood relatives, who continually post blasphemy and crudeness. It's quite unpleasant, and makes me visit facebook much less. All of which is to say, don't expect too many status updates from me in the near future.

I find it very helpful to hide people that post distatesful things. Hover to the right of their post until you see the X. Click on the X and then click on Hide "Name". They'll still be able to post comments on what you write but at least you should be spared from the worst.

I do exacly the same Cathy :). Facebook has its plus points, I manage to keep contact regulary with many friends and family .
I do find facebook a little strange as people put the most odd things on their updates.. lol but it does keep me amused.
It can also be a huge time guzzler so I try to be careful.
My blog these days is rarely updated, I either do not have time and I just have nothing I want or can to share.
Thanks for the tips - I've already got rid of an annoying 'God wants to say to you today' type thing.
Sounds like you need a twitter account.
Hi, I left facebook after acquiring nearly 500 friends, many of whom were Christians for the simple reason it was a huge distraction. It gave me an excuse to avoid helping my wife with the dishes at night b/c it appeared I was on the computer doing important things. Following it fragmented my attention and my day. I wrote an essay on why I left it and used this essay as the beginning of my blog. Yours in Christ, Rob Culhane
