The start of a new project - my first Blog

Hi

This is the first blog of my life, it has taken me almost 50 years to get to this stage - although blogging was not even thought of all those years ago and computers were not widely available either. I am currently starting a course on blogging to bring me up to speed.

Although I have been an engineer all my working life and have good computer experience this is something out of the ordinary for me so I am looking forward to the experience.

Where to next

Currently I have a blog that is very neglected. What started out as a mere update for friends & family on our new abode has turned into "What to share next?" Beginning to think this little blog of ours needs some children, topic tabs. Then there would be more things to rattle on about & share with. I do enjoy writing my posts & don't frankly care the amount of readers I have. Still,,, not wanting to bore those few readers with wandering rants in my mind. Ho hum.. Ho hum...

Advice 5 cents

Decisions, decisions. We all make 'em. Sometimes the results are good, sometimes, well, they aren't. Then what? Regret? Remorse? Shame? A fifth of vodka?

Maybe I'm a perpetual optimist, but I just have to think that when you blow it, you haven't failed if you learned something. That's what my blog will be about - what I learned from my colossally stupid decisions. Maybe the only person who ever reads it will be me & that naggy friend of mine who keeps telling me that I should write a book. Hopefully not my mom, major embarrassment potential there. But if it is good therapy, then, hey! Free psychoanalysis! LOL

Disablem but not dead ...

I am excited to learn about blogging! I am disabled from the Agent Orange spraying during the Vietnam War. I am quite thrilled to write about my life experiences.

The World Of Blogging, To Blog or Not To Blog

I'm not a complete newbie to blogging, however I still have much to learn. I have fallen in love with blogging not because of it's fast pace social network feel. But because it's a good way to communicate with the world, not only about what your feelings, thoughts or even important information. I have realized that there is all ways a reader or a blogger that has the same views as you may have. I find it fascinating, I have want to give a little of myself, while giving great reviews about the things I love. But the question is To Blog or Not To Blog? I say blog.

Blogging in Cyberspace

Hello,

I'm in a newbie blogger. I've rarely written any blogs. While I love the written word, but I lack experience in blogging to the rest of the world. I hope to gain some knowledge as to how to blog in this course.

Clueless

After paying a psychic 60 dollars to tell me what I'm suppose to do with my life, she told me I needed to blog, which would eventually lead to writing. As I wait anxiously to see if this psychic can really predict my future, I'll tell a little bit about my knowledge of blogging: clueless.

I prefer the bare minimum type of technology. I still use a flip phone, prefer talking to texting, refused to get an account on Facebook until my friends threatened that I would never see another picture of their cute cuddly babies, and I know nothing about blogging.

But why not give it a try. What I have to say has to be interesting to someone, right?

Triathlon, endurance biking, rock climbing, hiking, cooking, eating, wine tasting.

I have been doing triathlon and endurance biking for 8 years, climbing for less than a year.

I love the challenge of long distance, and the thrill of climbing to high peaks!

My First Blog Post

The way we communicate today is certainly very different from 4 or 6 years ago! I have always being fascinated about the way we communicate our message using technologies like social media and blogs. I have never blogged. I do follow really good blogs about beauty and fashion which ate areas that I am very passionate about. I decided I can start my own. I am excited to share my ideas with people that might have common interests. I am very happy to learn how to blog and being a blogger. I look forward to sharing my stories and learning from other people's comments.

Blogging...

Hello,

My name is Melissa, and I am very new to the "Blogging World". I know absolutely nothing about blogging, but hope to meet new people who can share their ideas with me.

New blogger

I have a blog of my own, but have no idea how to do more than post stories/journals. I want to be able to utilize it to a much larger extent.

Loving and using the Internet

I read a daily blog that is posted by someone in my community. While it has a lot of his personal slants in it, it is also an excellent community resource. He keeps everyone up to date with all the comings and goings in the "hood".

Other than reading that blog, I have no other blogging experience.

I love using the internet to "research" anything and everything and have a lot of good ideas that I would like to share with others.

My First Time Blogging

I never blogged before but always wanted to. All i know about blogging is that you get to talk about whatever you want. For example your kids,jobs,food,tv,people,etc.
I think this is a cool way to express your feelings and having fun.I think everyone should have a blog because this helps you do something , instead of nothing.

Gals Going Gaga for Gizmos, Gimmicks and Gadgets

Hi, I'm Susanne, and together with my friend Karen we're about to venture into the world of blogging. We both love gadgets (not necessarily the electronic ones) and gizmos and the occasional gimmick. So we thought 'why not develop our pastime into a fun hobby that we could share with others'. We've identified a number of our favorite items and will be blogging about them. Our intent is to raise awareness for those items, but also to get feedback and other items that people want to share with us.
