No one tells a blog virgin this but this blogging business is very very very hard. Having joined the blogging party fashionably late I expected to hear all the pitfalls ahead of time and be prepared .This so did not happen.
First big hurdle , the name.Not a whisper from all the blog gurus about how absolutely blank your mind goes when you have to pick a name for the blog . The pressure to pick a name to represent your personality and also sound suitably hip for the whole world to see.(Aww c'mon admit it, if you are vain enough to broadcast your thoughts on the WWW then you have to be vain enough to want the name to sound cool). My blog name had to be:
a)Fun because I do enough non-fun stuff on an involuntary basis.
b)Funky because I like funky.Funky is cool.
After intense creative back and forth with Schiebs I settled on Funkeying.
Whew!So OK after stumbling on the whole name thing, you would think its all smooth sailing from here on right? Wrong. Then came more trouble in the form of the choices for the blog display.The template, the font, the colors, the logo .. the list is simply endless.No blog veteran ever mentions that it would take only about a gazillion attempts to find a half way thru satisfying template and then a gazillion more trials before you find a font and logo that go well with template. And just when you thought you hit the right note, its inevitable for you to try that very last font style which you have no business trying anyway because you are supposed to be happy with your page now .But you do ........and of course it follows that this is THE one, the perfect font that you've been searching for all along and naturally it clashes horribly with the background you had picked after the aforementioned gazillion trails. Right then, back to square one . And all this even before you even start to think about the content to post....
Now that y'all know the mental anguish I went thru with all these weighty considerations, you will understand why I need to sign off now and make myself a tall cold drink.
Happy Weekend-ing!
