The First Step

I am trying to figure out this interesting animal called Blog. I am trying to figure out what blogs are, why I (or anyone) should care about them, whether I should consider doing one for work, whether I should consider encouraging or discouraging others at work to do one, and oh so many other things!

As a testament to my struggle, this is the second time I am writing this. The first, in my attempt to format it, disappeared into the ether. Oh well. I beg your patience if this shows up twice. I beg your indulgence as I grumble about it...but only for a second.

I really don't know what I have planned for this blog at the moment. Perhaps I will start a serial novel, like a 21st century Dickens, giving you a few paragraphs of my golden prose at an installment. Perhaps I will just use this to rant and rave about various things like the current, for the moment, Illinois governor, or the current, unfortunatetly not just for the moment, really cold tempratures outside. I will try not to use it as an advertising space, except when I can't help it!

I think I have rambled on enough for the time being. No use scaring off readers before I got 'em. Thank you if you bothered to read this! I hope to be more interesting in the future!
