What is this thing called blog?

Oh dear! What am I doing? I don't do these things called blogs. Well, that is, I haven't until now.

I feel I am a little late at arriving at the world of blog. For years people have been saying 'You can read about it in my blog' or 'Didn't you know? I blogged about it.' (Yes, it has a verbal form too! Blogging. The act of writing and posting a blog.)

Those around me seem to like it, so here goes nothing!

I think my fear of entering the world of blog is that I will write things on the www that I would not say in real life. So here is what I would love you to do - if you know me personally, and think I am guilty of such a thing, I would love you to tell me! While my blogs will be personal reflections and thoughts, I do not want online to become a 'safe place' where I can dump things I would not usually divulge. Any or all of my posts can be brought up in conversation with me in person, I am determined to be open with my sharing.

That's it - first blog complete.

I have no idea how long this blogging thing will last - maybe till my assignment is handed in this Friday!

For now, goodbye blogging world!
