Fracas
Unlike the opinion of some people online, I don’t believe a blog needs to be defined. For some, blogging is a way to keep track of thoughts and personal growth. For others. it’s a way to catalog favorite quotes, poems, recipes, or any other tidbit of information that used to be collected and retained as intellectual treasure to the person who clipped it out and saved it in an old chocolate box. For others yet, blogs provide the means to share stories as opposite as a life or death struggle with cancer or a passion for gardening. Blogs can help people locate long lost family or friends, or even find a lifemate. Blogs take the place for many, of the newspaper columnist, providing a daily dose of humour and laughter to those who have stepped into this new world of internet communication and foregone the daily newspaper; blogs provide information for the knowledge seeker, on the technical ins and outs of communicating on the web.

A blog can be entertaining or a blog can make you cry. A blog can sell you something, or a blog can out a bad business.
A blog, is as unique then, as you or I.
So why do I blog?
I blog because I write, I blog because I enjoy learning. I blog because I see the internet as an opportunity to create for myself, that which only a few years ago, would’ve seemed imposssible. I blog for fun and I blog for finance. While I develop a blog that is unique with my own personality, I am learning and what I learn will eventually become what I do for a living.
I chose WordPress because I honestly believe there is no better platform for a free blog.
There are countless bloggers who’ve been an inspiration to me. Some are financially succesful, some impress by the sheer volume of traffic they receive. Some are little known, but yet… it’s the blogger behind it that has somehow inspired me and just knowing they’re there is what makes me smile. What there is no question about though, is that all have in some way, provided the inspiration to carve for myself, a new path… a path not unlike Dorothy’s yellow brick road.
And what could be more fitting than a yellow brick road, for the woman behind the Red Shoe Diaries?
