Been a lil obsessive over this whole blog thing. After spending far more than necessary time selecting a theme, I changed the header image a gazillion times too, (actually just two, no three). And don’t let me tell you how long I deliberated over the domain name… scribbling random words, phrases and sentences, but naturally, all the good ones were gone!
But I’m a little thrilled by this. I get to keep an online multimedia journal, a scrapbook that’s always there, accessible from anywhere, hard to lose! I get to document my thoughts and images, what i see, hear, and how I interpret, a biography of sorts, to share with everyone (almost). Which brings me to a scary notion. After going through several other blogs on here, and just falling in love with some of them, I wondered if I wanted to create a completely anonymous blog, where I could be utterly uncensored.
If I don’t go anonymous, I’ll have to worry about having to ‘tailor’ each each post for every possible reader – from random acquaintances to elderly members of my extended family – to try and customize my posts for a general audiance… I’d go insane trying! … But to go anon, means signing up all over again – and I can’t be bothered.
Besides, I really don’t like complicated. Last thing i need is to remember yet another user name and password! So for now, and until the urge to be a more scandalous or vulnerable blogger creeps up, I think I’ll risk it. Could make for interesting conversation at the next big family gathering.
Mostly, I take comfort in assuming my reader to be somebody just like me – I know how wrong I could be there! Still, i’m hoping for a little beginners luck, and that at least my first few comments (if any), will be sympathetic ones. And I welcome any words of wisdom from the more seasoned bloggers, i’m such a fan!
