Blogs of a (rather bizarre) family

I have to say I realized the blogs I read complete a wacky family. Really I have mom, dad, and every lost cousin in the world. And I? I am the sarcastic teenager, which they love very much.

The 'Mom' blog. I am in no way related to or in contact with Eve. Other than the fact that one day on yahoo! 360 (those were the days) I happened to see Eve's blog sitting in the bottom next to something in German and something in French. Guess which one I picked! 
I immediately came to love Eve and her way of blogging, it was about her daily life. From conversation with her son to analyzations of a bed. I know my own mother might relate cause she is a psychologist, and it occurs to me that Eve (if she wasn't home schooling) might make a good one. I've read her blog rather frequently ever since.. well whenever she was featured. I go there to hear a funny story or an old tale of 9 siblings run rampant. I always come back with most likely a smile or some insight. Ironically it took me many a month to put together she lived in Florida (Not Maine or California) and that she has 2 kids Landon and Ellie. I realize this sounds stalker-ish but, her blog had 500,000 hits so I'm not the only one. Many of us followed her here after the infamous Yahoo! 360 tragedy where Yahoo! just went INSANE for a bit. I actually told my mother about Eve after first explaining a blog to her..

Most of you know who this is from his appearance on the Blogs of Note list. I found him there on my 2nd or 3rd day and I was hooked.
I call this a Dad blog cause its a whole new perspective for me on the aspect of parenting. It's like reading a book then watching through the antagonist's eyes. It was kind of odd reading this going "wow" its like Eve but, not at all. After many attempts I added ITTWIP to the bookmark bar and everytime I give 'Mom' a click 'Dad' gets one to. His insightful stories or recipes or posts about his kids Madison and Ava and their (seemingly) wonderful life. I think they live in California BUT I read something about going to Jones beach which, is 20 minutes from my house. So maybe it was the Long Islander in him reaching out to me. Again i'm getting kind of stalkerish and I'm sorry, if you're slightly creeped out. I just thought I should explain my choices in blog reads.

If this needs an intro please get out from under the rock your currently living beneath. Post secret is the revealing of the deep dark depths of the souls. Not only of others, but of ourselves. Each one of us can sympathize with a secret. Whether It's a secret we hold personally or one we hold guiltly in fear. A secret can be found in us all. Postsecret is the home of the lost who yearn to be found and the scared finding help. Each and every person belongs there and no one should fear it. So for all my cooky 3rd and 4th cousins and great great aunt in-laws come on in and share.

So this is my family. Ma and Pop and cousins Bobby and Betty. We're all here ready for our bizarre photo. So say cheese and try not to laugh cause I bet the family photo'll look ridiculous.

Was the author very convincing, or did he miss a few points? Care to share?
I say we just remove warning labels off everything, like someone suggested. This is a good idea.
I'm just wondering, is it possible to take up blogging without any technical experience? Can I blog from MS Word?
I was once trying to write jokes, and it didn't turn out too well. I'm not the brightest lightbulb, and I live with my mom.
