This is my second posting attempt at blogging. I was introduced to blogspot just a few days ago by John, a new found friend, from www.Boomer-eZine.com. I went to Bloggerspot.com and managed to create an account. Once you able to get in, the instructions are reasonably easy to follow.
I cannot say that I feel totally comfortable about blogging and sharing my thoughts in the public domain, unless it is to contribute a point of view. In some respect it is like journalism and sharing your thoughts in the public forum pages of the national press. We need to be careful with what we say and with our outpourings.
As for me I have just started and will let the river run its course and see where it takes me from here.

Pat,
I think that you are on the road to a great blogging career. You have done much more than many people do and that is you have taken the first step.
Remember that when you post on the Net, you expose yourself to instant feedback. This is different than a magazine since in that medium, you get phone calls or letters to the editor. The Internet is instantaneous.
You need to have a thick skin on the Net since there are those people who do not construct, but take delight in destructing. It is much easier for them to criticize your work than for them to create original work.
I applaud your foray into blogging, and I think you will have a great future at it.

To be good, you have to start.
To start, you don't have to be good.
Patrick, you have a good start.
It will get better with time.
Just let your thoughts flow.
Have fun
Blogging is great! I have been reading lots of people's blogs, and its generally recognised that your blog is "your space", and YOU are in charge of that space.
Adding comment moderation allows you to edit out the negative stuff.
A Writer always wants people to read what they say right? :)
Also a blog does not have to be the innermost, the raw unedited Patrick.
Some readers appreciate candid writing. Some want to get the key points ASAP.
I have been listed blogs down at http://www.harro.com and blogs with long sentences, no points, messy design, messy thinking generally get ignored. :)
John: Nice meeting you too. :)
