Thing #3

I have been reading other peoples blogs for years. I love that part of MySpace and it is why I keep a MySpace account. I love to read what others have to say and reply to them. Sometimes it is hilarious to watch people going at it in blogs. And it is always informative. However, I have never actually made my own blog. I have thought it might be fun, but never took that step. Now, I have.

Setting up the blog was easy. The hardest part was trying to make the blog homepage reflect who I am. I believe that in this age of communicating with the written word through computers and cell phones, the art of "getting someone" through non-verbal and other visual clues is becoming lost. Again, most likely because I am a visual learner, I need to "see" who someone is by their pages. By the same token, I need to show who I am. So, I tried to choose a title that would show my passions and my personality. Same with the background and the avatar.

I had a picture of myself up and I my very well put it back up again, but the avatar is me. I am always at a ballgame of some sort. I couldn't find books to put in the picture. I usually have one with me to read and get over my nerves. I get very nervous before games and having something else to do really helps. I had this avatar on Yahoo already that I had used for Yahoo messaging. I changed her up though. She needed a new hairstyle, some new clothes and I added the glasses. I also moved her from a football field to a gym because right now, that is the sport my kids are playing.

Setting up this blog was actually so much fun. I am just going to have to try not to get addicted and start thinking that y'all want to know every little thing about my life.
