Warning: Whine ahead!!
Okay, before I started this blog, I didn't know so many great blogs were out there. I would just randomly surf around and find really silly and sometimes interesting sites that I would bore my husband and friends with on a fairly regular basis. They had online journals that they would post their thoughts and occasionally some of my links on. So, I thought, "Hey, let's quit bugging them and get your own post, and if they wanna see what you have been doing, they can come check it out". Seemed logical, and didn't take much arm twisting to convince my husband that this was something that would make his life easier, and he wouldn't have to humor me so much. And being a designer, I thought he could make something nice for me.
Well, a few things have happened since I started this blog. First, I am having a hard time finding good links anymore. I know part of this is because I have started reading so many good blogs and following the links they have found, I don't have time, energy, inclination, or whatever to really search. And I do not want to be a blog that only links around to everyone else, like, "that was cool, Jenn" or "i saw that too, Cam".
Kellea made a good point in her blog from today, the 21st, (see there I go already) "A quote from a friend of mine today, "It's not weblogging.. it's some sort of sick competition going on. A competition for hits, links, friends, popularity." and unfortunately it's a sad truth." She posts this in reference to why she is shutting down her site.
Second, I have realized that I need to use this space for me, and for whatever the hell I want to put up here. I have no idea how to do html, nor do I want to, so if this site is plain until my husband gets a chance to make something nice for me with everything I wanna add, then so be it. It is supposed to be about the content and not what it looks like. Guess it is the pretty girl vs the good personality girl thing. Oh well. There are beautiful sites out there, but also this constant need to update them. Heh, with mine, there is nothing to change, so I can only go up from here. So, if I feel like talking about my kids stinky feet and not posting any links for a week, then so be it.
Wow, ok, I am done now.
