uh oh I may have started something.

Background: my mom is 85, and has been a political activist her whole life, from integration and civil rights in the 50's and 60's, to women's issues and lesbian issues up until very recently. (I was at the '68 riots in Chicago, as a kid, with my parents among other events and my elder siblings attended the first integrated preschool in the nation...to give you an idea)
Until very recently she participated in the Raging Granny marches in SF. Even though she's getting up there, she's very interested in the world, and she is a writer to boot.

So, just for fun I sent her a link to this blog yesterday
http://margaretandhelen.com/about/

and today I'm getting emails about "how does a blog work" and "I must say it gave me a jiggle about doing something inventive -( that's cause I'm in a good, creative mood) with my political ramblings." and " I've often played with the idea of writing letters and answering them myself".

uh oh, what did I just sign myself up for? I think.

Anyone have an example of good simple blog so I can show her some?
