Blogs

I have been reading/investigating blogs in the last few days.  I find some of them are like diaries... some are commentaries... some are filled with photos... some, not so much....   All of them must have a cathartic effect on their writer because the author  keeps coming back day after day - sometimes hour after hour.  Each type of blog I have seen gives me something - gives me a feeling of that person - whether I know them or not.  Just looking at how these pages are organized, colored, fonted (is that a word?), how spacing is used, how capitals are used - all of this makes a difference to the writer and obviously, to the reader.  This is a new world - a new way of communicating that seems to have taken on a life of its own.  (wonder if sociologists have done studies...)  Each of them is an extension of the person writing.  Each of them is beautiful.  Each of them is.... life being "done" a different way.  I enjoy that.

First post

Nervous. Unsure. Excited. This new world - blogging. Too often I have thought of it. Too often i have put it off for a different day. THIS seems to be the day. Now, what do I do? So many things run around in my head on a daily basis. Some of them have to be let out. Somehow - will this be the avenue? Surely my head things are no different than others. Surely what I say will resonate. If not, and it's just for me, than that is the way it should be. So far, feels pretty comfortable. Kind of like an old friend......
