Blogging

Last week I made the first steps toward blogging. I have to admit that my first attempt was not bad. Since then I have been stumped on what to follow up with on my next blog. I have so many ideas going through my head, I am unsure where to begin and what to say. When commenting to my daughter, who is a freshman in college, on her response was not what I expected. She said that most bloggers are angry teenagers. Thinking about this it bothered me that many people think that a blog is simply a angry rant that is looked upon not in a positive way but in a negative way.

I would like to think that is more than that. It is a conveying of ideas. It is thoughts, perspectives and opinions on what is going on in the blogger's world. I have read many of the blogs on this site and other sites and I see both perspectives.

So, I guess what blogging really comes down to is what you are feeling and most bloggers blog to convey this, good or bad. They are still conveying ideas, thoughts, perspectives and opinions just that they have different ways of going about it. I guess that would make both of us right...imagine that us agreeing on something.

Knowing this I think it has given me a different outlook on blogging. It does not always have to be clear thought out information. It can be about how you are feeling that day, how the Real Estate market is doing in my market on that day or just how my cat is feeling that day if that is effecting me at the time. However, not everyone would want to know about my cats so I guess I need to stick to the subject and not veer too much toward the random.
