Blogging: What It Is

  • Blogging is the easiest way, to put the word out.
  • Don't blog to hurt others, make people angry, or offend others. (D Winer - case in point. Your reputation is at stake.)
  • Why do I blog? Not going to say!
  • Just trying to be interesting & help the world.

= However, here is another spin on it.

"Blogging isn't an end, but a means to an end—just one tool (and not always the best one) that you can use to spread the message that you are (or you publish) an interesting person who has something to say about the human condition worth paying attention to.If you can't bring yourself to do that, you need to step back and consider some very fundamental questions about why you want to be a writer or a publisher. It would be great if we could just drop a book on the table and expect everyone to be bowled over by its intrinsic rightness—but we all know that's not going to happen. So we've got to go out into the world, and present our authentic selves in such a manner that what we have to say will resonate with others when they come across us in their own wanderings.

My Apologies

After a crashed computer and reasons being my control. I cannot share a Personal Brain file. However, I do have an alternative, and soon will distribute it.

Otherwise, I'll leave the Brain-Update tag, as is. What is changing? Using Topicscape is more productive for me, at this time.

I'll place a zip Topicscape file up. There you go.
