hehe – true Mark. Although I did get a call once from a reader at 3am to tell me that my blog had crashed!

However, my blog does not wake up in the middle of the night crying, as my young daughter occasionally does. That would be a positive difference.

It’s interesting to use the metaphor of child raising because while the costs are huge, the benefits of raising a child far outnumber the setbacks (educated guessing here). It’s a nice thought to imagine a blog being an emotionally rewarding experience.

well I don’t think she was literally saying its like having a child – I think we’re all talking in metaphorical, loosely speaking, taking great liberties and saying great generalisations kinds of ways.

How can she say that it’s like having a child when she doesn’t have one? That doesn’t make sense. :)
