The fearful, ignorant guy has got a blog on the Internet. It
must be easy!
Of all people in the world I was easily one of the most
pessimistic about computers, the Internet and now that I even
know they exist-blogs. I think blogs are pretty cool but I never
thought I could have one. I thought the processes of getting a
site; domain name and the actual building of the blog would just
be out of my league. I’m a complete novice when it comes to
technology, but I do like writing a journal, and I thought
having a journal on-line would be both fun and make life simpler
for me. No more writing with pens, other people can read my
stuff and comment on it, and I could add pictures to illustrate
my points and make things look more interesting.
Well, now I’ve got one! It’s awesome. I won’t lie and say it was
easy, but I think if you hook up with a good web hosting company
it’s not such a daunting experience as you might expect. I got a
few work mates to help me. I went through a couple
administrative hitches when filling in my personal information
forms for the registration-just because I’m a bit silly in the
head. We had a little trouble with the blog program we used, but
these challenges were eventually overcome. My boss says he’s
going to make a simple program that people can hook up easily.
I chose my domain name: thepowerofeverythingthatis.com. It’s my
own name-no one else on Earth can have it. I own it. I picked a
nice picture out for the background-it looks really sweet, much
better than a blank sheet in a diary. I got it from a site that
gives photos out without charging a royalty (the first few):
www.istockphoto.com.
I just want you to know the great feeling I got when I first
typed in my domain name and my site came up! It was the
equivalent to a person who’s afraid of heights being accepted
into an astronaut’s mission into outer space. Or maybe it was
like a turtle driving a Ferrari 300km per hour. Possibly it was
like all the ants in the world getting together for peace talks.
It’s a real blast having this blog. I can write on it any time,
anywhere, from my laptop, at an Internet café etc. I can write
as much as I want, and I’m hoping one day my writing may inspire
others to communicate with me about the subjects that I’m
interested in.
Look, if you like writing about anything, and want to have your
thoughts and opinions on the Internet, maybe meeting others
similar to yourself in the progress; you have to get a blog and
get it now. Don’t be afraid any longer, the world is in the palm
of your hands; it’s time to get on!
