The Blogging Begins…
OK…so it seems as though everyone has become a blogger. I, for one, have tried to avoid it as long as possible since I figured I had nothing important to say to the masses and thought it would be a total waste of my time. I mean, who wants to read somebody else’s rants and raves? I get enough gossip thrown at me from all the other media outlets like yahoo headlines, grocery store magazines, Hollywood’s entertainment news…and so on. Trust me, I’m burnt out on Entertainment Tonight, TMZ, and every other TV show that airs nothing but clips of their reporters bugging the hell out of stars until they get something…anything out that week’s “stalked” socialite.
I’ll admit though, that for some strange reason, I check out Perez Hilton’s blog every now and then. Maybe it’s because it was one of the first sites I stumbled upon that is devoted entirely to blogging and seen that there was some kind of potential there. Or, it could be that I heard there was something on there that I just had to see. I laughed at a few things, but I always run into stuff that is posted which makes me ask myself, “What the hell am I doing reading stupid stuff like this?” So, I always click my way out of there thinking that I just fell a couple notches off the evolution scale.
Anyways…these gossip shows and blogs are not what got me to finally start my own. No, it was all the web tricks and tutorials that I kept running into. As a web developer, I try to keep up with what is going on with the latest technologies and web standards. And, of course, there is just way to many changes to the coding, structure, applications and whatever else that developers use to keep up with them all. So, when I’m checking out the latest and greatest ways to build websites, I keep running into other developer’s sites that are passing along their knowledge. And the way they are doing it is by posting their work into blogs, which makes sense because they will always have a reference to their main arsenal of web tools online.
So, this is the beginning of mine. I am still considered young in the world of developers, but I am very eager to get my skills to a higher level. So, I welcome all the feedback of people in the world of web design, development, graphics and other multimedia professions.
Visitors, employers, and people that have an opinion of these types of things are always welcome as well.
