So it’s been a year (and FYI this is my 500th post!) and I’ll ramble a bit about blogging itself. This is a great and easy medium to get thoughts and information and stuff on-line and out to people. I really enjoy it, if you haven’t done it you need to try it it’s really easy. Typepad offers free trials and Blogger offers free blogging in a really easy way.
Pros:
It’s so easy to do!
Talking and thinking about other things (semi)coherently makes me think about them and about life.
Finding out that other people actually read this 
Finding that others link to this blog
It’s very interesting that people that I have no idea what we might have in common read/link here.
Comments!!! It’s really interesting to see what some people comment on and what they don’t…
Cons:
CSS – What actually makes the page appear the way it works. It’s not 100% consistent from web browser to web browser.
IE – Nothing ever looks consistent in Internet Explorer (on either platform) as it does in other browsers.
Feeling the need to post because the blog is getting stale (and readers might not come back). I’m only a little concerned when it gets old, I bring it up since so many other bloggers seems to get stressed about it or even quit because of it.
Comment spam! Which (thankfully) I don’t get too much of.
I was really hoping to do something a little more meaningful for my 500th post but I haven’t gotten around to it and I haven’t posted other things since I wanted to do the “meaningful thing” so this is all you get for now (and I can do some more normal posts now). I’ll try to offer some more meaning as the calendar year comes to a close.
