Help an anti-blogger learning to blog

Well, after spending way to much time looking for sites that I might want to suggest to anyone as something worth taking a look at, I'm trying to stay positive about this whole blogging thing. I really am. I actually read a few things that were okay, I guess. I think that I have to change my perception of blogging and perhaps the internet in general. I'm certainly not anti tech, I couldn't imagine life without my PC - just have never been one to spend a whole lot of time surfing the internet beyond email, quick news, movie info and mapquest - okay I've looked at some porno, sometimes it looks for me! Can I just claim that I busy and hate wasting time wading through crap to find anything of value?

Randy posted some good info about three sites he visited. 1) Storiesville, as Randy said, would be a neat place for writes to get feedback from several different objective people - forboth short stories and poetry; might be a place to put some stuff out there? 2) http://www.stories1st.com/ . Randy gave a great description and it was indeed fun. And as for the third site about "classics," again, I agree with Randy - for the right viewer, some good stuff.

Randy, Thanks for the good reviews!!!

Looking for blog inspiration

Well, not that anyone gives a damn, and if it were I reading another blog starting off with these words, I certainly wouldn't - give a damn that is; but that's neither here nor there. Here goes, I've taken a look at all the sample blogs for our perusal, and I must say, that the one that stands above the rest as to its ability to hold my limited attention is Indexed. Short, witty creative diagrams - something we could all keep in mind when we write anything! Perhaps as a middle school teacher I have a soft spot for the simplistic efficiency of the Venn Diagram, or, I just have little time for bullshit. No. That's not completely right, or at least, not the right word. Nothing wrong with bullshit - put it in your garden and wonderful things will grow. Lets see... someone's ramblings on the computer - like this rambling mush. Anyway, Indexed is kinda cool, though. Maybe I'll even try to think up one myself.
