Year Four Begins
It honestly didn't occur to me until I was at the MOB party at Keegan's last night, but July 14 is my Blog-aversary, the start of my fourth year.
I must credit again the two who inspired me to start. Mitch "the glue that stirs the drink" Berg who was at the party was a star, and "Citizen Jo" of "Jo's Attic" was not. Shot in the Dark was always and continues to be a great read, #1 on my blogroll from day one. The Attic had no "Northern Alliance" status but showed how anyone (Jo knows what I mean!) can meaningfully contribute to the discussion. The Attic gave me the courage to begin. Wherever you are, Jo, thanks again.
I hope if you are contemplating starting a blog that you do so. As Bluto says, "Don't cost nothin'!" Blogger.com is really quite good these days, and still free. That's where I started, though I've been a very happy customer of Powerblogs the past two years.
One of these years, I should spiff up my site. I don't do pictures or graphics, but I also don't do ads. That and the Powerblog servers should made Speed Gibson one of the fastest loading sites.
I do have some thoughts of podcasting a little, maybe even doing a little blogtalk radio like Captain Ed. We'll see.
