The home page and original site for the Famous Grazing Blogs

There are more than a dozen Famous Grazing Blogs residing on the cybersphere. Some are dormant and some very active. They all link back here to the Granddaddy of our blogs, founding in May of 2004.

Belltower News and Grazing. What's the Connection?

A legitimate question was asked by one of our viewers.  "You constantly refer to Belltowernews.com as the original Grazing blog.  What connection is there between Belltower News and grazing?"

As I consider it, it's a wonder this question hasn't be asked earlier.  The answer is economics. 

A while back, when working as a solo development act, an establishment in Vermont asked me to help with the set-up of an on-line newsletter.  As was usual for back then, I created a domain name and a hosting site for the newsletter that was the same as its name, Belltower News.

The creation of this domain name was a bit premature.  They wanted the newsletter to reside on their own server as a link.  Haste makes waste.

Not wanting to be wasteful, I was looking for a place to link the newly created blog Random Thoughts Grazing.  I had found that the words Random and Thoughts in many variations were already used in many blogs.  So, I linked the blog to Belltowernews.com and changed its name  to fit the URL

Backwards engineering of a sort, but I like it.

There about a dozen or so grazing blogs still in operation. All of them do have the word Grazing in their title, just not this one.  It is in the subtitle.
