When you think about it

Staking my claim to a piece of cyberspace. Somewhere to chill, to rant , to soapbox, to inform, to learn.

Experiencing the Blog 3

Do I have a short attention span ?

Well I didn't think so, but I suspect I may already be becoming bored with blogging. I've looked around now at a few 'recommended' blogs and haven't really found anything much that has touched a cord with me.

Or maybe I am just disappointed at my own blogs not being grasped to the bosom of the world and recognised immediately for the precious latinum that they are ?

I have done 'diaries' before, and remain determined that I won't just spout bull that has no relevance or value to anyone but myself. The Earth's resources are too precious for me to burn electricity just to flatter my own ego or satisfy some half-formed wish of mine to be a 'writer'.

I'd rather be a painter anyway.

Experiencing the Blog 2

I've spent some more time re-learning html since I started this thread. I've played around with various colour schemes and templates and I think things are starting to take shape. I haven't yet figured out how to change the colour in the heading bar of the Moto template, though. Suburban Wytchery has a part-altered heading bar, but really I'd like the whole heading bar to be the same colour.I've learnt to put in the lkinks to my other blogs, which is good. I think I need to spend some time browsing other peoples blogs now to increase my knowledge.

Experiencing the Blog

I've spent some more time re-learning html since I started this thread. I've played around with various colour schemes and templates and I think things are starting to take shape. I haven't yet figured out how to change the colour in the heading bar of the Moto template, though.

I think I need to spend some time browsing other peoples blogs now to increase my knowledge.

I now have four blogs ! I decided to compartmentalise things, because my interests are quite varied. I've not yet learnt how to link from one blog to another though. I will in time, and then I think this blog may become a 'blog farm' ? I found that term at Wikipaedia.

I've started reminding myself how to deal with html too. I did a web design course three or so years ago, so I did recognise some of what I saw when I first viewed a template. I've managed to make minor changes to the look of two of my blogs so that they are more legible and easy on the eye.

Whether anyone else will ever view my blog or comment on it remains to be seen. I don't plan on letting any advertisers in, so no publicising my blogs by that method... Of course that's assuming my blog is of enough interest to anyone else to prompt them to comment anyway.

In the beginning

In the beginning there was a novice blogger and a blank page. The novice blogger wondered what to say to the world from the dizzying heights of her new soapbox tower...

She pondered what others might expect and what others might already have said in their blogs. She never did like doing what others expected of her, though. Nor did she really care much what others had said in their blogs before her. This was a New Land of Blog, where the fences had not been set yet and the thoughts were still free to roam unmolested.

The novice blogger looked into her own Land of Think and rounded up her favourite Thinkboxes to transport them to the Land of Blog. They struggled a bit when it came to getting into the canoe, and the canoe nearly sank with their weight, but in the end they all got there safely.
