When I first came to the world of blogging, the blogosphere, I had no idea what I was doing, what it was all about, or even what I would blog about. That changed real fast! I fell in love with the blogosphere, and, with blogging itself. I am addicted to turning out posts, day by day.
I was taught by the instructors of blogging (we have all read their stuff), that a blog should be a personal journal. I simply do not agree with that. A blog to me is an information center on whatever you, the blogger, feel is worth sharing with the world as a whole. For instance, I have seven blogs (lynda's loft, Writing for the Hell of It~, Heavenly Inclinations, It's a Woman's World, Life Line 101, Remarkable Bloggers and The G (Gentleman's) Spot), each on a different subject. And I have some more in storage, so to speak. Perhaps the facets of my personality need an outlet, or perhaps my intellect is so diverse that it needs release. Who knows? All I know is that I can sit and tap the keyboard, almost daily, about 7 different subjects, and, still have more to say on any given topic.
Blogging is an interesting communal effort. There are times when you feel that no one is out there reading your stuff; however, you find out that many are. They are simply silent in their passing through your pages to the next, sort of like butterflies. I said communal effort as, you are providing information, entertainment, news, or what have you, to the World Wide Web. These readers in turn are boosting your ranking, and, you are in turn reading and boosting their ranking.
The communal part of blogging is that many like minded individuals are assisting one another in gaining readers, and, popularity. Such as if you are into gardening, many gardening writers will visit your blog to see what is going on there; in turn you will visit their blogs, and, so forth. The end result is a network, a network that expands even beyond your area of expertise and interest. It is a social collaboration which works very well within the blogosphere.
I do not know if everyone or if anyone will agree with me, but, I believe that blogging is a source of diverse and profound intellect, which if done properly, can build a business, a reputation, a social network, and, lifelong friendships.
A blog to me, personally, is a source of emptying my brain of all the thoughts which I carry. I am a writer, and, it is The Best outlet I have ever experienced for getting these thoughts in order, in succession, and, in print. I find it extremely stimulating. I find it furthers my need to write, and, it grants me numerous ideas and avenues with which I can disperse of my thoughts. I love it~~~
There are many styles of blogs out in the blogosphere. Some are judged by content, some are hailed for their thought inducing facets, some are popularized for their technical attributes, and some are visited daily for their music, and, so forth. This is what makes blogging interesting. This is what makes it an awesome undertaking.
People from the old blogging school scoff at the newer bloggers. They feel that blogging has gone too far; that it has detoured from its original intent, which was web logging. Web logging is fine, for those who are corporate. For the rest of us, blogging is whatever we wish it to be. It is an open space of great minds, curious ideals, personalities, and individual intellect. Given the amount of people who are blogging these days, I would say that it is here to stay, and, that its general direction will keep changing. Change is good.
A blog is a personal venture. It has so many paths which can be taken. Even with a single post, you can then spin that into many different areas of thought. I call this thought weaving. I can write a single sentence, and, from that one sentence, I can expand upon words within that sentence into many areas of topic. A blog is an individual expression of what you might think worthy today. Tomorrow it could follow the same flow, or, go forth as something totally changed. Whatever comes of it, a blog is about the writer, creator, and, person who creates them. It is about sharing; it is about getting out into the world and letting your voice be heard. It is about making a statement. It is about being who you are, as, when you are blogging, the real you will show through no matter if you did not intend for it to do so, because, day after day, you are revealing what is coming forth of the internal you...
Blogging rocks and, I will blog until my fingers cease to allow me to...
