"The Beginning Blogger"
Tuesday, October 25, 2011 at 02:48PM “BLOG…” there ~ I said it. I’ll say it again with expression…”BLOG!”
It’s definitely not a nice-sounding word. In fact if you say it in a certain way it could almost be a slang. Like… “Oh! BLOG!” or “What the BLOG!” I won’t linger there, but I can’t be the only person who’s been curious about something called a ‘BLOG.’ Deciding an interview was in order, I asked a few folks to answer this question, “What does “BLOG” sound like to you?”
Here are a few of the responses I received…
“A mass of something.”
“A piece of wood?”
“Sounds like someone is about to get sick!”
“A big blob.”
“Is it something scary…”BLOG?!”
“A new dance closely related to clogging – blogging!”
When I first heard about blogging, I questioned why anyone would want to do it. Writing is therapeutic and an expression of creativity so in that way, blogging can be personally fulfilling. It makes sense - for the writer.
But why do people take time to read blogs when they can read books, newspapers, magazines, letters, emails, texts, etc.? I still haven’t figured that out. If you are taking your precious time to read my blog I can tell you it’s quite humbling. Thanks for being here. Hopefully you have chuckled a little and my future blogs will be worth your time. This one is questionable at best.
You could respond to this blog or you could go for a walk. I have an idea...go for a walk and let me know what you think when you get back...“Why do people read blogs?” It will be good to hear from you!

Until a few years ago I never knew what a blog was and to be quite honest until DBC started blogging I didnt really read them.
