Comic Cards

     We all like to see funny images on the social networks, among other places. They make us laugh and relax. Sense of humor is essential in life, and I enjoy writing texts with a funny streak, and I let my comic side come through whenever I have the chance.

     With images of internet public domain, I create cards like this one below that I call “Comic Cards” as a hobby, just for fun. They are great for Twitter, facebook and give a relaxed touch to a blog. I’ve got ideas for them from images I see, or some phrase pops in my mind, and then, I look for an image that fits. They’re simple phrases that come from the daily life subjects, nothing too much elaborated and with a light sense of humor.
     What about starting to create your own Comic Cards too for your blog and pages?

Presentation


       Hi, there, welcome! I created this blog on 05/08/2014 to talk about blogs in general and tips, general subjects and my several non-profit blogs. I’m an incorrigible blogger, I’ve been a translator for more than 20 years, and I write articles and chronicles.
      I never seem to remember to talk about this on my blogs, but where did the word “blog” come from? The term “blog” is a contraction of "web log", basically a site where we can post logs of activities and subjects. In that sense, “blog” is also a verb, and “blogging” and “blogger” are modern times terms which have been incorporated to the language too.
     This blog has a version in Portuguese, called Blogando com TJ, where I comment about several subjects and the blogs which are in Portuguese, but it’s my intention that both blogs are different from one another. Its link and the links to all my other blogs and to my bilingual page on facebook, called Escrita_Writing, and to the one I have on Twitter, Writing_Escrita, are on the right side of the blog layout.
    As I say on the brief description above, I enjoy family, friendships, books, movies, angels, dragons, rock, walking, the sea, nature, animals, etc., and I intend to talk about all that here on Blogging with TJ and much more. I also love to write, and that’s the main reason for having so many blogs, though I try to conciliate them with my busy routine as much as it’s possible.
     I enjoy the creation and maintenance of a blog, starting with the choice of the perfect template (and all of mine are free and from the excellent Deluxe Templates) and continuing to the posts themselves. It’s a pleasant activity that enables our creativity to flow out and gives us the chance to share a bit of ourselves with others. I hope this is such a enjoyable blog to visit as the opportunity for me to keep it indeed is.
     As it couldn’t be differently, I conclude with a phrase that has become part of all my blogs because that’s the sensation I have here and I hope to transmit it to visitors. The sense of being on the extension of a home.

     Wherever you are, feel at home here.
