Blogging..

Man, it used to be a simple journal that I wrote in every day. Three pages of hand written thought process that I never showed to anyone else. I might share in my women's group if some profound thought hit me. Blogging is not the same. So far, I'm not sure the difference in value between a web site and a blog, except that the website is static and self managed and hopefully self owned. A blog is kind of a public journal. You can add pictures, links, widgets, and you can easily change the layout. It's kind of like a dumbed down Front Page, which at one point offerred great promise and quickly faded into the ethers...
So why all this noise about blogging? Who cares what I think? Maybe it depends on what I think about what I think?
I starte this blog to find out what all the noise was about. I've found out that most serious entrepreneurs or sole proprietors use blogs to help self promote. But here's the thing: A website can do that and you have to drive traffic there too.
So...what's the deal?
Maybe the simple truth is the freedom to write down a random thought, share some editorial, or post a picture, and do it in a flash. This is really pretty easy. It is easier than WordPress. But...it's still not that big of a deal.
Or maybe it is....maybe its the next new marketing thing that kids used to do and now us adults stress over finding some profit motive behind it. Isn't that how fun things end up going out of style?
More later......
