Hello World,
I'm starting my very first blog as part of a project for my job. I'm a technology assistant at the Skokie Public Library and this project is going to introduce new technology's to library staff. There are ten new technology's in all, hereafter called things... as in 10 things. Blogging is the first thing. So, here we go.
Blogging is essentially an online diary for the world to see.
I know what you're saying.
"Aren't diary's usually kept a secret?"
Well yes... usually.
But blogs serve a greater purpose in the online community. It is more like getting on a virtual soapbox to rant and rave about whatever is on your mind. You could tell everyone about the boy who stole your heart or the girl who ripped it out of your chest, lit it on fire and then put it out with the tears of a thousand baby seals. Whatever floats your boat.
If you don't want to start your own blog you can always comment on someone else's. Tell that guy who's whining about the girl who stomped on his heart to suck it up, get over it and go out with someone else or just offer some comforting words. Again whatever floats your boat.
The reason, I think, that blogs have caught on so much is that everyone has an opinion and everyone likes to be heard. Blogs offer an excellent opportunity for all who take the time to use them. Rather than let your secrets eat at you, tell them to the world... anonymously of course.
That being said, I have no secrets!
Cheers!
