How to start a Blog?

Pat Gallagher / 1 Comment

YIKES!!!!!!!  


What is a BLOG?  .....A web log

Does anyone really care about a Blog?  ..... Probably NOT!

Will anyone read my Blog?  .....Probably NOT!

Blogging tips!!!!!! ..... Tooooooo many to list

I was told, I have to find my Blogging Voice!!!!!.....Yoo Hoo where are  you?

Blogging is easy .....DO NOT BELIEVE THIS....! Did I think I was going to be Amy Adams in Julia & Julia??????


 

Well, here goes.  I wanted to tell a story about my Art Project..."65 for 65” (I will explain as we go).  This should be easy. Right?  Not really.  Do I blog or do I start a website? Which comes first... the chicken or the egg?  That is still an age old question. So I figure I will start with a blog. But really should I have a site?  I don't know.  I ask ten people and I get ten different answers.  I ask the question? Have you ever done a blog?  Oh yes, it is easy.  Not in my world.

I am pretty tech savvy.  There, I said it.  I have worked on computers, websites, computer labs, taught computer graphics, and taken computers apart, but I am having one heck of a time trying to figure this whole thing out.  There are more sites to figure out how to do a site than my mind can hold.  It should be EASY.  That is what everyone says, but it is not.  So I start to research blogging, but I just get more blogged down. Then I realize that I want to show my artwork.  Again... Website or Blog?  Now I want to do a website.  This should be easier, friendlier territory.  Again, too many questions. My brain is starting to explode.  I feel helpless.  I want a blog (work to do), a website (work to do), a link to facebook (more work), should I tweet? How about instagram, e-commerce/paypal?  What is tumbler? Linkdin? A newsletter (more work).....so a  simple project has turned into a megamonster!

 

YIKES!!!!!!!
