The History of Blogs

I feel like I spend too much time on the internet, but every so often I do come across something interesting. Whether it’s interesting for you is something you’ll have to decide. I’ll probably post such web sites as I would want to some day come back to, or tell someone else to check out.

Start with a Home Page

I set up a personal home page yesterday with Google, and wrote this:

This is, obviously the Home Page… the site is currently under construction, so I’ll add more here soon. The question with any online presence is how much can I say, without giving away who I am…They talk all the time about the need for keeping your personal information safe on the internet, and this page is very much public. I think for now this will basically be a little hobby, something I can play around with and see what happens. I’ll keep looking in to options, but maybe a blog is more what I’m after. I’ll have to post a link if I go to that. One of the biggest reasons for moving may be that I can get people’s feedback without having to give out my email, and I think you can run Adsense off your Blog too, and a little pocket change is always nice.

So I decided to try out this blog thing. We’ll see how it goes, and maybe I’ll end up using the two together.
