Mon "blog" premier!

Okay, I am doing it: Writing my own blog. I feel I must tell you that I created this blog some time ago, but haven't had the nerve to put words on the page.

I have struggled with the pros and cons of having a public blog. I've spoken with friends, and done some research online. I have decided that I will proceed with caution, and make the rules as I go. I have much to think about before I open my blabberhole, such as Which audience do I want to attract? How much of my life am I willing to share with Mr. and Mrs. Internet Community? What will be the basis of my blog?

In doing my online reading, I found a good list of pros and cons written by a fellow blogger. This person seems to mirror my worries: Anyone can read what you write, and sometimes your words can come back to bite you in the booty.

But I also found something else, a quote: Bloggers are people with attitude. Indeed. Thank you for that Mr. McGovern. You have convinced me. I need a blog. I rather think this will be interesting.

So, back to my original concerns:

1. Which audience do I want to attract? I don't yet have an answer for this, but I'm hoping my blog will be appropriate for both friends and family to read.

2. How much am I willing to share? I am not willing to use real names in such a public forum. From this point on, I will be known only as Mama Kee, MK, or just Kee. If you would like to create new nicknames for me, please feel free, but I ask--do not use my real name or that of my child.

3. What will be the basis of my blog? I have so many things I would like to talk about. My life is definitely the main reason I want to have a journal, so I will discuss that on a semi daily basis. I would also like to write movie reviews, maybe song reviews, etc. Of course, I will also have rants about random things. So, there is no basis per se, but that may change in the future, as I grow comfortable in this environment.

S'amuser s'il vous plait!
