OK, so it may be obvious that I'm new to blogging.  But hey at least I'm doing it which is a step up from where I was at: that would be nowhere.  And it may provide an opening to a bit of humor I enjoy using when I can.  That's when someone offers an unsolicited review of an endeavor usually negative in tone or substance.  This particular comeback requires that the person offering the "advice" isn't themselves doing anything with regard to the subject.

Then I can say, "Well let's take a look at what you're doing.  Oh, that's right, you don't have anything".  Well at least I'm trying something totally new for me.  And I'm not only achieving the goal of giving blogging a test drive, I'm doing it in a way which really suits my technical curiosity by setting up and then using and tinkering with the BlogEngine.NET platform.  SSSSweet.

Don't Get Cocky Kid!

Some may remember that line from Star Wars (oh god, a geek mentioning Star Wars, now I'm really stereo-typing myself).  Perhaps there's a reason it popped into my head just now.  Perhaps I should consider that advice.  On the other hand, can being pleased with actual accomplishment really be construed as arrogance?  This is working out well technically and as added bonus I'm learning and finding that I enjoy the medium to boot.

Baby Step Blogging

Since I've always enjoyed the humorous application of lines from movies, another one comes to mind now from "What About Bob?"  That would be baby stepping.  No doubt I've got a lot to learn about about blogging and Web 2.0 in general, but that's why I'm here.  In a short time, I'm realizing that when done with some thought, it's an engaging creative activity.  Previously I vaguely felt it was self-indulgent at best, if I gave it much thought at all.  Next I need to learn how to write shorter posts! 

(and add "blogging" to the spell check dictionary)

(and my personal holy grail of writing: how to not think faster than I type leaving out words along the way)
