why//blog

Uncategorized

I do not expect anyone to read my blog, diary, journal (whatever you call them) entries actually, but since you are reading this, I thank you for your interest anyway. As you have probably noted, this blog is hosted by Blogger, now part of Google. This service seems pretty good to me. Just one problem, the process for setting up a blog is somewhat confusing (very confusing actually).

I am kinda hoping to see emoticons too. And yes, I am a beginner at these bloggy stuff. The idea of blogging actually originated quite some time ago for me. It wasn’t after a couple of my friends put up their online diaries that I actually tell myself, “hey, actually this can be pretty fun.”

Again, why blog? [I feel so silly answering myself.] Firstly, to express oneself I suppose. Also, I enjoy typing a lot (so much so that I once consider it as a career, not that I can type very fast though), perhaps this blog can satisfy me well. More important, to kill boredom. This evening, I surf some web pages for the keyword “just keep swimming” as this motivational tune that Dory (of Finding Nemo, voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) kept ’swimming’ in my head, no thanks to my friend who actually remind me constantly of that tune. [Due to privacy concern, I am including less of other people's names.]

I found several matches at others’ blogs. Can’t seem to find the song, I seriously don’t think it exists anyway. Ignoring that, I started developing a hard-to-explain interest with blogs. I started searching for sites hosting free blogs, one of which is Blogger of course. I found several others that have nicer interfaces, BUT I somehow felt more aquianted to Google. I do not want to start a blog and get an email in my MSN mailbox from the webmaster apologizing profusely that he or she has not money to maintain my blogs and have to close them, ya know..

The above explains all I guess, so I shall get started with my posts.

  4. Uh those pingbacks look pretty odd!

  5. Nafcom: Yes, they are weird. I don’t know why they are here. It appears to be a WordPress bug. It happened when I linked to my RSS, how weird can that be.

  6. @Mr. Dew:

    Why would somebody link to one’s own RSS?

  7. Nafcom: I wrote my most visit page and provided a link to my RSS. But little do I expect it’d ping this post.

  8. Mr. Dew: I agree that was weird

  9. I hope the bug would be solved in WordPress 1.5 which is just released. I got to admit that I’m lazy to report the bugs actually.

  10. Blogger
    Why do I do a blog? I have no idea! but I don’t think I will receive ever a lot of comments! probably people will find it boring and a waste of time to read my crap, but anyway feel free to leave your comments :)
    At least I will go on with writing in…

  11. @Mr. Dew:

    Oh a simple email to them could help? won’t take long! O:-)

    by Nafcom (Feb 22, 2005 at 2 AM)
  12. Nafcom: I’ll email them if the problem persists in the newer version of 1.5 that I have yet to upgrade. I’ll upgrade when I’m free, need to do backups, hahaa
