Blogging 101

Web log, sea journey, term, medium, genre

So I haven’t been blogging so often recently. But I’m hoping all that will change soon since I am somewhat inspired at the moment.

I’ve been reading up on Blogging and it’s quite a vast medium or genre. There are List Blogs, Political Blogs, Review Blogs, Feature Blogs, wow. So I’m going to sorta try these types all out. I am going to try out a couple and see how that goes and see what’s best.

Another interesting thing I came across while reading about blogs is that the word blog is from the words web log. Log being from the sea navigating or sea journey term whereby the seamen (person) recorded wind speed and other important information chronologically into the log book. Ok, it’s a bit random but it’s interesting to me with my new ocean obsession. I will slip other interesting facts as I go along navigating….

Perhaps the best way to blog is to find a topic (i.e.: group) that is interesting to you and make comments, or learn something from other writers.

The only reason I got into blogging at all was to have an account to post comments to a fellow Canadian who had become 'Member of the Week' back in 2007. Back in those days, you couldn't post annonymous comments. So, since I had a profile, I began doing posts and am slowly making my way around the world. One thing that has been useful is to click on the avatar of people who make comments or are friends of people I already had on my friends' list. Generally, there will already be common interests and viewpoints on things, so "breaking the ice" is a bit easier.

Am looking forward to more of your "navigating"...
