Easy to be crazy

I am new to blogging having started barely two weeks ago. My great fortune is that the first article I read about blogs and blogging pointed me to Blogger which I now find to be ideal in a blog sort of way. Since starting with one serious, heavy blog, I tried a few other blog hosting websites and many of them charge a fee for getting my words across, which is something that I have no great need to do. A few free blog hosting sites I did find and I tried a few of them, but in my mind. Blogger stands out as being the easiest to use (for a novice like me) as well as having a look and feel that is not only pretty but clean and well-designed. What I mean is that the blog is not cluttered with all sorts of gimmicks that detract from focus and obfuscate the feel of your blog and what you are trying to say.

That article on blogs and blogging that got me started on this gig further attested that money could be made from blogging and speaking your mind. I said, whoah wait a minute, I get paid for laying out the garbage of my thoughts? My mind was racing with the possibilities when skepticism reared its cynical head and tried its level best to wrestle my now over-speeding mind to the ground and put a stop to this madness, but something deep inside kept saying, "How cool can this be?", like a mantra, like a prayer. So I jumped right in and blazed away with my first blog, propelled by the thought of the big bucks I was going to make from all this nonsense. When the dust had settled I took a step backI looked at what I had written, all prissied up and waiting to be read. I looked and I looked, and I read and re-read and somehow got the look of:: what next?
