Creating blogs is easy! So easy, in fact, I contend that almost anyone could do it with very little practice. Indeed, the thought occurs to me that there must be millions of blogs floating around the internet, most of which are only read by their own authors. This thought is depressing.
I guess most people have less room to listen than they have room to talk about themselves. I wonder if anyone peruses blogspot for hours a day, enthusiastically roaming through all the random and uninteresting posts that almost certainly hold no significance to the rest of the world.
At the same time, maybe blogging provides a real service even for the authors of the those most boring stories ever. Regardless of how often others look at their blogs, perhaps just the fact that their innermost thoughts are out there for the world to see (if the world wanted to, which it doesn't) is exciting enough to get them through the sorriest days of their monotonous lives. After all, I figure, the top fifty most popular blogs in the universe probably account for the majority of blog views, leaving the other billion gajillion with practically no patrons to speak of.
But other than that sad thought, which was a funny joke for your entertainment, I enjoyed the blogging adventure, which took all of about four minutes to complete. Typing up a post is hardly different from writing a paper except that I'm motivated to make it fun for the amusement of my peers. Making this page was self-explanatory; I just logged in with my Gmail account (because the internet is so nice and accommodating these days) and said what was on my mind! How satisfying blogs are!
