Getting
a Blog On The Internet

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!
