To Blog or Not to Blog

Blogger still won't let me change my font, or, in fact, use any of the style buttons at the top of the blog page. Weird. Meh, oh well, it could be worse. It could just try to keep me from blogging altogether. Which pretty much leads me to my thought for the day -- does blogging cause more trouble than it's worth? Forgive me for the whole one-paragraph structure of this blog, but I'm not allowed to enter for some reason. Anyways...well. To begin with, I think that everyone, before they begin blogging, must realize the most basic fact of blogging -- other people can read what you write. This is not a secret. Honestly. And people who choose to include their blog link in their AIM profiles KNOW that people they know will read what they have to say. So privacy is pretty much out of the question unless a person chooses not to tell anyone about their site, a good option for the people who believe that blogs are predominantly for ranting. We, as bloggers, can control what we write. We have the right to remain uncensored, but other people also have the right to take offense to what we say, so therefore, a caution: Either be private in your blogging, or be nice. I guess that blogging isn't for everyone. I adore it. I know I haven't kept up too well lately, but I truly love it. There are people that severely dislike it, and some that think that it causes tons of problems among friends by limiting face to face conversations. That is not the point of a blog; a blog is for thoughts, ideas, etc., and is not meant to serve as a complete alternate communication. Everyone, just...blog wisely, ok? Please. Ok, well, as I can't move on to another topic because Blogger is being mean, I'll just post another blog. Tootles. --Natalie
