Hobby and pastime blogs around the world wide web

It is really strange to know that there are not many hobby related blogs. There are many sites or hobby shops around where you can find hobby related news, information, links to other sites but there are not many visible hobby blogs. May be there are many which are hard to find out.  I love to read blogs and as I have been an enthusiast about variety of pastimes and leisure activities I search the world wide web for the stuff often. This post is about few hobby blogs which I discovered during my search. I hope to add more reviews in future.

'Hobbies and Pastimes' is a hobby blog. Blog was created in 2006 so you can expect a lot of articles, but the archives section shows that there were no posts in 2009.  In total there are few posts but very interesting and with a personal touch.

Few hobby related post titles are:
  • Pet Shop: Hobby or Business?
  • Of Pens, Pencils, and Markers
  • Of Hats And Caps
  • Old Olympic Games Postcards
Blogger 'Amadeo' is from U. S. A. Another blog from Amadeo is 'The Ignatian Perspective' which seems personal blog.

Blogging as a hobby

Blogging is my hobby. A hobby is an activity which you love to do, and "blogging" is only hobby which I love the most. It has combined my reading and writing passion at one place.

My blogging journey started more than 2 years ago, when I started searching the web to read "blogs" on variety of topics and soon my interest developed towards creating blog. I really enjoyed the learning process during all those days (and still enjoy doing it)

A hobby is defined by dictionary.com as:

"a subject or plan upon which one is constantly setting off; a favorite and ever-recurring theme of discourse, thought, or effort;..."

"Blogging as a hobby means blogging which acts as "a favorite and ever-recurring theme of...effort"; it also acts to put forth the author's "favorite and ever-recurring theme[s] of discourse [and] thought." The authors of these weblogs update and maintain their weblogs because they are a favorite type of internet medium, and the focus of their blogs (such as keeping in touch with family and friends) tend to follow "ever-recurring themes."

Hobby blogs, then, are those that make up the majority of the weblog community, those that are updated and maintained only as necessary or as desired by the author. They usually receive few comments, because the readers have less to read and the content is often not intended or capable of provoking ongoing discussions

- A very interesting post about "Hobbies" at "Lorelle.wordpress.com"

A few lines from the original post:

"Hobbies are personal, but sometimes hobbies are professional. Some people turn their hobbies into multi-million dollar companies, and others turn their hobbies into their blogs. Either way, what you do in your “free” time is your choice and another part of the puzzle of who you are.

A hobby is a complex thing. For some it’s their work, for others, it’s what they do after work. My job is my passion and I love it, but I know that I have to take mental breaks away from what I do in order to clear my head and keep the energy flowing. So I use hobbies to keep my brain active learning and trying new things."
