I couldn’t help myself. WordPress put “Hi!” or “Hello!” in the subject line, and you know how I feel about that.
And see, I got you to “open” my first message. Nice.
Here’s the strange part. I really thought I was doing a blog already. You know, all my newsletter articles tend to show up neatly on the main site thanks to the magic that is RSS.
But then one day not too long ago, my “dating guru” buddies started wanting to blogroll me. After getting over the initial shock of such a forward request, I realized that there was no such way to accommodate such.
Well, now that problem is “no problem”, isn’t it?
But now that we’re here, I’m loaded down with ideas. The first of such was to finally make a page on my server that actually has a clean appearance with loads of whitespace. Those of you who have been squinting at my forum for months now should be pleased with that development for sure.
But thinking beyond the surface, I am feeling this sensation of a new freedom…The momentum of cathartic expression welling up inside. The type of which that can only portend utter explosion into the Blue Sky of The Blogosphere that has been pent up for months within me.
That and I’ll actually have a home for relatively concise thoughts that are nice to express, but not quite ready for “prime time” exposure to thousands of demanding newsletter subscribers.
Plus, The Piper may end up paying me the “instant gratification” I’ve been doling out in heaping helpings for over a year now in the form of “immediate downloads which you can be reading within five minutes”.
So all of that blathering is long for “Welcome”. I look forward to your well-wishes as well as to any rotten veggies you may hurl at the screen. After all, a man has to eat somehow.
Be Good,
Scot McKay
Scot,
I am looking forward to your blog. You have a great way of saying things in Everyman language.
Good luck.
