My life and the Internet

My life nowadays revolves around the internet. I wake up early now to begin a new day of surfing the net, checking mails, updating blogs, figuring out a way to promote my blogs, checking out whatever is out there in the World Wide Web. It is truly amazing, the Internet is. Many people may use it for purposes which were never intended, like peddling porn or fomenting hate and advocating the destruction of other countries like the case of terrorist sites but, it is a medium for communicatomg with people you don't even know about, but one whose effectiveness is largely an unknown factor. You broadcast your message with the hope that someone will respond.

It is not so easy as it seems. Even if it is so easy to publish something without knowing any CSS or HTML, one still has to figure out a thousand other things to bring that web page to those that care to read it. It was a frustrating time at first but using the resources available in just a few keystrokes on a search bar, I easily locate thousands upon thousands of links that give me information about website promotion and what other people are doing to promote their websites.

Many websites are real eye-openers when it comes to style and design and what can be done to make a website easy on the eyes. Of course, there is the ever-important issue of content. What do you want to present to your audience? Authoritative people, writers who are experts on the Internet never fail to emphasize the necessity of providing relevant content. They say content is king and it is a bit confusing at first but, keepiing at it even in the midst of confusion somehow helps to clarify your mind about what it is you want to say. It would not do to just blurt out anything that makes no sense. One has to figure out the message that one wants to bring across.

Easy for some, I guess. I think I'm missing the blog gene. I've run a journal for I think over two years now, updating daily without fail, on one of the journaling sites, but I have to admit it's all I can do to just get a post up on Blogger. I get very confused and very lost very quickly here.

Thanks for dropping by. Like you I kept a journal on wordpad. Nothing worth seeing; just something to record my feelings for the day and written for no other purpose than maybe to see if I had made any progress at all in the way I handle the world. Blogging is something else; I guess at a certain level, I know that some people are bound to find my blog and read it. But then again, I really am not so hopeful, and that is why it is always a treat to find a visitor leaving a comment. It is truly gratifying knowing that the net is such a jungle, there are few signposts.
