Weblogs
Last Friday I visited my hairdresser for my routine “color and cut.” I’ve had all kinds of conversations with Lisa, but on Friday we talked about my “blog.” Blogs don’t make sense to Lisa (my hairdresser), and I attemped to explain why I kept one.
I finally applied for a domain, procured a webhost, and uploaded the blogging software WordPress. It’s been quite a “learning curve,” but the ride has been fun!
For me, blogging is a creative outlet for self-expression. I love to travel and take pictures, and my blog serves as a record of my journeys. However, on another level my blog is an online “journal” where I’m allowed to “think out loud.” I love the fact that family and friends that I can’t see on a day-to-day basis can “visit” with me via my blog. I’m sure some days what I write is more interesting than other days – which brings me to the main point.
Lately, I’ve followed links to blogs that are what I call flat or lacking in creative expression. Their blogs consist of the “task of the day” and offer little to the reader. Here are some examples of the – uh, “activities.”
I suppose I’m not entirely against “activities” because I’ve signed up for the Saturday Photo Hunt where folks post a picture on Saturday of the current “theme.” However, I’d rather not post for a day or two if I don’t really have anything to say. OK, that’s my “rant” for the day…
