Practicing Mammal: Today's Featured Blog

The best thing about the SCCB is making new Catholic friends.

The Mammal* of Practicing Mammal is one of my 'internet friends.' I have met two of her daughters: I had the pleasure of teaching them. (They are so smart and nice!) But through her blog and through the stray email here and there, I feel I have met the whole family.

She is a pretty active blogger, averaging about 150 posts a year. She writes about her family, homeschooling and writing. You really get the impression she likes her family. lol. The most curious thing about the family is the nicknames.

They are people I really like. I hope you will come to share my opinion through reading her blog.

Today's Featured Blog: Plot Line and Sinker

Today we feature Ellen Gable's blog, Plot Line and Sinker.

Ellen is a wife, mother, author, NFP instructor.

Her books sell very well. I hope the Catholic Review of Books will be able to interview her and review her books in a future issue!

In her blog she writes about all manner of things, from family stuff, her writings, etc. I especially liked her October 19, 2013 post.

We'll be reading, Ellen.

A New Feature: A Featured Blog

Plus some rambling about blogs and Catholicism.

"If I were a better blogger..." wrote today's featured blogger, Mo, on January 25. Well, I'd like to be a better blogger - and I am sure you would be too.

If I were a better blogger I would have done this featured blog thing earlier.

A few things we can learn from today's featured blogger:

1) easy, sensible layout. Makes the best of her Wordpress blog.

2) Nice pictures

3) cheery

A critique:

1) Hard to tell who you are. Many of us are afraid of internet stalkers and so we like to conceal our identity, or at least make it difficult to figure out our name, our kids' names, where we live, etc. Makes sense. Who doesn't do this at least to some extent? At least give your name clearly. It helps build community.

Make sure you visit Mo at Canadian Catholic Mom

Blog on Msgr. Foy

I was greatly interested to hear that a blog has been set up that features the writings of the - by this point - legendary Toronto priest, Msgr. Vincent Foy. Please read it here.
