http://www.futurestreet.org/cgi-bin/carolien.pl D is for Cheesemaker en http://www.futurestreet.org/cgi-bin/carolien.pl/2005/07/14#*mijneersteblog* After having stared numbly at the computer screen for the past half an hour, I now have learned my first important lesson in blogging: 1st time blog entry appears to be tough... </p> <p> The same question popping through my head over and over again: "What for the love of God should I write about?" </p> <p> I'm afraid I haven't thought this through as much as I should have. First of all, I come totally unprepared to doing this. Indeed, I must be one of the last twenty-something people that has never even read an entire blog posting, let alone wrote one. Secondly, no spectalur events occured in my life that I would feel the need to share it with the world: no post-war trauma's, no terminal diseases, no alcohol or drug problems, no natural disasters nearby. Yep, my life has been 100% drama-proof up until now. </p> <p> Now from what I understood from <a href="http://www.futurestreet.org/cgi-bin/mik"><b>someone who should know</b></a>, a theme or subject isn't all that important in the blogging community and you shouldn't be too worried about deeper meanings and revolutionary new findings. </p> <p> Actually it seems you can write about every subject you can imagine. In demonstration, let me quote a few of the teasers I came stumbling upon while browsing some <a href="http://www.blogwise.com"><b>blog directory</b></a>: "Mind farts and other filth from a psycho mom and her family", "Just about what comes to mind" and "A weblog of fiction and other writings, all without a point" The one and only condition to blogging seems to be that you produce text: combinations of letters that form chains of words and sentences. If the thing you issued actually makes sense, that's a nice extra, worth a tap on the shoulder. </p> <p> Obviously, I'm not quite there yet ;-) http://www.futurestreet.org/cgi-bin/carolien.pl/2005/05/16#comingsooninablognearyou
