Getting a blog on Internet
The
fearful, ignorant guy has got a blog on the Internet. It must be easy!
Of all people in the world I was easily one
of the most pessimistic about computers, the Internet and now that I even
know they exist-blogs. I think blogs are pretty cool but I never thought I
could have one. I thought the processes of getting a site; domain name and
the actual building of the blog would just be out of my league. I’m a
complete novice when it comes to technology, but I do like writing a
journal, and I thought having a journal on-line would be both fun and make
life simpler for me. No more writing with pens, other people can read my
stuff and comment on it, and I could add pictures to illustrate my points
and make things look more interesting.
Well, now I’ve got one! It’s awesome. I
won’t lie and say it was easy, but I think if you hook up with a good web
hosting company it’s not such a daunting experience as you might expect. I
got a few work mates to help me. I went through a couple administrative
hitches when filling in my personal information forms for the
registration-just because I’m a bit silly in the head. We had a little
trouble with the blog program we used, but these challenges were
eventually overcome. My boss says he’s going to make a simple program that
people can hook up easily.
I chose my domain name:
www.globalcashsite.com. It’s my own name-no one else on Earth can have it.
I own it. I picked a nice picture out for the background-it looks really
sweet, much better than a blank sheet in a diary. I got it from a site
that gives photos out without charging a royalty (the first few):
www.istockphoto.com.
I just want you to know the great feeling I
got when I first typed in my domain name and my site came up! It was the
equivalent to a person who’s afraid of heights being accepted into an
astronaut’s mission into outer space. Or maybe it was like a turtle
driving a Ferrari 300km per hour. Possibly it was like all the ants in the
world getting together for peace talks.
It’s a real blast having this blog. I can
write on it any time, anywhere, from my laptop, at an Internet café etc. I
can write as much as I want, and I’m hoping one day my writing may inspire
others to communicate with me about the subjects that I’m interested in.
Look, if you like writing about anything,
and want to have your thoughts and opinions on the Internet, maybe meeting
others similar to yourself in the progress; you have to get a blog and get
it now. Don’t be afraid any longer, the world is in the palm of your
hands; it’s time to get on!
