According to the geeks over at Google, I get almost 1,800 hits per month! But I don't have the slightest idea who they are... or why they would read this stuff! So I'm not writing to a particular audience.
But thank you all, whoever you are! I am your humble Captain, at your service!
Since it's going public - I didn't realize just how public until I Googled myself once - I want it to be good. Should I try to be funny? Thought-provoking? Interesting? introspective? Artsy?
My hobbies include wine, women, and piracy, so I try to work a little of each into my posts.
In my line of work, I knew I couldn't write "slice of life" stuff, because most of that would involve the lives of church people who don't normally find the humor in what they do or say.
Did I just say that church people are a humorless bunch?
But what I see trending more and more in the blogosphere is simply re-directing one's readers to someone else's blog.
That's right - why do all the work when someone else has done it for you?!?
Oddly, the gods of the blogosphere concur. They say that in order to be a successful blogger, one should give an occasional "shout out" to a fellow blogger.
Wow! That takes a huge load off my back! I don't have to write this stuff anymore! I can just say, "Go read what she wrote and get back to me!"
That leaves a lot more time for wine!
Hallelujah!
So, for today's post, just go over and read this blog from Tim Atkin. I don't know who he is - doesn't really matter - but he's pretty funny!
