I don’t understand why blogs are such a big deal. Yet, here is mine. No big deal. I’m not even going to tell anyone. Here it is. If you want to read it, somehow you will have to discover it. Perhaps you will click on an ad that brings you here. Some odd search engine will pick up this link and throw it at you.
(That last paragraph was stupid. So is the next one. Hopefully no one will read either one of them.)
A couple of years ago when I was thinking about starting a blog I heard WordPress was the premier blogging tool. I tucked that little nugget away for later reference. Reading some local news leads on Google I learned about some sort of convention right here in my hometown, Frisco. WordCamp Dallas 2008, two days of WordPress gurus spewing wisdom about how to be a better blogger. People flew in from all over the country. I drove two miles. For two days I thought I acted pretty interested because I kind of was interested.
One of the hosts wore a tee shirt that said, “Nothing to say? Blog about it.” That pretty much sums up more than 90 per cent of all blogs. Including this one. Seinfeld the T.V. show has nothing on nothing. Neither does Sartre who would have been an amazing blogger. But then he would have never won the Nobel Prize for literature. Yet another tee shirt, this from the artfully harsh despair.com, less than gently declares blogging futility, “More people have read this shirt than your blog.” Maybe I’ll get that tee shirt and wear it next time I attend a WordCamp. No, everybody else there will probably already be wearing one.
