To Blog, or Not To Blog
Saturday 11 Feb 2006
So what’s this “blogging” thing all about anyway?
People seem to get really addicted to it. There’s places to “blog” everywhere… Seems everyone has a lot to say and they all want the entire world to hear about it.
I guess that’s good. I figure I’ll give it a shot.
For those that may not know, a “blog” is a web log – an online journal. The concept has been around since the dawn of the Internet and has gained huge popularity in the past few years.
Online companies such as Xanga, MySpace and an army of others have been busy making it more and more simple for you to post your thoughts up for the world to see.
For what I want to do though, I’m going to abandon those services and make my own. Not that they don’t do a good job. C’mon, they’re wildly successful and popular for a reason… they work well.
For my purposes though, I’m just going to post stuff here. If you feel like reading it, great. If you want to respond, even better!
My goal for this page, however, is to provide myself with a way of “getting it out.” Yes, this page is therapy for me. For me, by me, about me. Get over it.
For the time being, I’m not planning on having a way to post reader responses, an archiving system, a forum or a host of other goodies that appear in other blogging communities.
That may change one day though, all depending on how this project fairs.
