Good Morning, Wednesday, Jan 19, 05
Today I begin a new challenge of writing an article about something I only discovered several weeks ago. Imagine!? (Request of an editor friend for a new journal he publishes.)
Web logging, or blogging. Fortunately I have recruited another friend, an IT tech, Alan Dix, to help and we shall do this together. Actually he has been helping me collate and integrate my personal blog with some topical blogs on favorite subjects and for special projects. So you will see his name in the sidebars on all my blogs. Alan is willing to become a resource for other new bloggers.
I am curious and fascinated enough about this new web feature that seems to be exploding. Enough to study it and write about it as way to get my mind around it. Here are a couple of our introductory paragraphs to the new article (first draft):
"Is there something you are passionate about? Do you enjoy sharing a conversation about that with friends, possibly even with strangers? Have you ever written or wanted to write a letter to the editor? Are you confident enough putting your ideas down in writing, just to see if you can find a "soul friend" on that topic or simply another curious person?
". . .Even if you are retired (mostly), sofa bound, restricted in mobility by your vintage bones or physically impaired, you can still have a barrel of fun, if you have a PC, like visiting the internet, have a closet to work from, have ideas and time to share, and are passionate about one single subject. Even if you are on a tight budget. Available now is an easy way to create your own newspaper or journal online, or your own magazine.
You do not need to become more efficient with pdf’s and attachments. A new invention called web logs is now so user-friendly that you will be coaxed into risking more of yourself online with your own personal web site that you can use anyway you choose.
What is a web log, or "blog?" What does it do? What can it be used for? Why is this form of communication growing ("value for us" )? Why I should do it? How do I get started? How do I get help? How do I promote my blog (include maintain)?
