You know I really love wordpress I think its the best blogging platform by far.

When I first became homeless I did try to start a blog about it as an ongoing documentation or maybe even a video diary of my experiences and I set it up and everything with blogger. But I had no clue how many hits I was getting because they don’t reveal it.  And that’s where my love of wordpress comes in. You can see who’s linking to you and how many hits you get. And I try to interact with those that link me.

If you want to know the first attempt at this blog really sucked. It was terrible. I started out writing as if I was about to be published or something. Dropping extremely complex and diverse words to prove the point that I’m not your typical “homeless” person. No one read it.  I learnt a  great lesson that I should just be myself. In honesty and in truth. To be as authentic as possible instead of pretending and trying to seem smarter than I am.

Now onto the topic of this post. If you want to read some blogs about being homeless. Some cool activists and generally people who are more awesome than me. Enjoy these delightful treats.

4. http://homeless.alltop.com/ This is a great resource that archives all things to do with homelessness and more blogs/news  that  you could hope for.

Anyhow these are just a few of the blogs I check out. Hope you click on them and get varying points of views and understanding on the issues.

Have a great day and I hope you get something from these great people.
