Well, like I said, I'm new to this world of on-line posting. While I tried to go for the cute-humor, I failed at my attempt...miserably as my wife pointed out. She said the play on words for "logging" was too cerebral...when in actuality, the posting was locked as a potential [canned process meat product packaged in gellateanous matter] blog. Word to the wise...keep the repetitive words and phrases to a minimum and avoid a block on your posting.
So what's a Country Boy to do??? Saddle back up and give it another go. This whole new techie world we live in may take some getting used to. I've grown up a bit behind the times, my first experience with cable tv being in 1990 with my first apartment and roommate. By that time, MTV had stopped playing videos all the time and developed into producing "The Real World" and other shows which were fictitious anywhere outside of Beverly Hills.
A few nights ago I thought about what my wife wrote in one of her postings about kids today and their speed and agility at text messaging. I was in the middle of my Community Band rehearsal and the alto sax player next to me dug her phone out and started texting in the middle of her eight measure rest...and had ample time to not miss a beat when she came back in. I on the other hand was so amazed that she could text with two thumbs that I missed my intro and had to catch back up a few measures later. I think they can do it so quickly because they set their phone up to WORD rather than Abc. Either way, I can't dial the phone number with two thumbs, let alone spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. I get thumb-tied.
Well, here's to what I hope to be a successful post. Happy reading.

How to Blog
My wife started up a blog to keep her from losing her adult conversation abilities during the day. We are now down to just the two-year-old Twin daughters at home during the day, and the older three in school full-time. YAY!!!!! There's only so much Barney, Caillou, or Baby Einstein an adult can absorb in one day without the cheese slipping off your Ritz...the sanity screws twisting themselves all the way out, sending the parent skittering wildly out of control until the other parent arrives home to be tagged like a Big-Time Wrestler in a Cage Of Doom match. Not that my wife utilizes the Magnavox Babysitter all the time. She has a schedule of events throughout the day with a splash of TV in the midst to allow for Blogging, housechores, coffee, telephone calls, sewing, scrapbooking, cooking, paying bills, and showers. I'm kind of digressing, but you will probably see this happen quite a lot as my blogs go on and on and on...it's one of the qualities everyone likes about me. They talk about it all the time. My wife told me I should start a blog since I have a gift of gab and creative writing abilities. (I think deep down inside she's hoping that with a Blog I can release some of the pent up conversations that remain bottled up on a daily basis. She can tell when people are too busy to talk at work because I come home and start in like the Chatty Kathy Doll. When you pull the string but the talking spool doesn't seem to take up the pull string and the conversation NEVER....ENDS!!! Digression #2.)
So I researched how to be successful with your blog, and I found that you should go to a Blogging Camp to work with other Bloggers. When you first walk in to a Blogging camp it can be quite overwhelming. Some Bloggers are rookies and others have been Bloggers all their lives. Some Bloggers also are second generation Bloggers, born from a good stock of hard-working Bloggers who helped build the Blogging Industry with their bare hands, hard work, determination and know-how. As a rookie walking into the Blogging Industry for the first time, the old-time Bloggers are cautious of divulging all of their trade secrets until they see whether you are going to stick with Blogging or just try it out for a little while.
One item I found that will keep you comfortable is a good set of Blogger Boots. They keep your feet dry and also offer good arch support. Depending on who you talk to, Steel Toes are a necessity or a recommendation. In my homble opinion, look for Bloggers in the industry who require Steel Toe Blogger Boots. The safety of a Blogger is not something that should be taken lightly. Without your toes you can't stand to Blog. Alwys think: SAFETY 1ST!!!!
The most successful part of any Blogging Operation is the hardware. Spend some money on the equipment you need on a daily basis and you can one day be proud to say you're a Blogger. My wife recently upgraded her computer system to help her in her Blogging efforts and to manage her home-run business. As with all technological advances it is wise to keep in touch with the technology used in the Blogging Industry. It has been evolving ever since it started up, and is in a constant state of evolution. Don't be afraid of progress. Always strive to Blog efficiently and wisely.
Look for future Blogging articles from me. I'll do my best to keep you informed on technological advances in the Industry. Next time I may talk about Blogging Trucks; Mack, Peterbuilt, Kenworth, or just that old Ford parked under the apple tree. Until then....
Keep on Blogging!!!!
