Blogging Rekindled

Here I am, rekindling, and revising the blogger canvas that I had once used as a main medium of communication. Although some may argue that blogging is a lost form of art, I tend to disagree. It's a digital diary really, and still a place to write and create, so what's so bad about it? Sure it can be a little "two-dimensional", and may just represent what just used to be on a piece of paper, but it still has that extra element of connection--interactivity.

Many diaries, books, and pages well-written will go unread if they only stay stashed on a shelf, and let's just face it, some thoughts were just made to be linked. Although blogging is simple, and very Web 2.0, it's still alive, and for a good reason-- it's waiting for the artist, the author, to fill the space available. On here there is no demand for perfection. There is no need to hire an editor to stoop over your work and check for every misspelling, every comma splice, or every sentence fragment. The writer holds the reigns--the stylus, the keys, and there's something so intriguing and beautiful about a text being so raw, so unedited and yet meaningful. We connect with each other through the links and form our own webs, our own networks, and our own anthologies of meaning. 

I know this seems a little philosophical, and a tad nerdy, but it is something to keep in mind. Beauty is a blog title waiting to be clicked; a comment about to be posted; and a mouse hovering above the "join this site" button. Unexpected things lie ahead, so go ahead-- be interactive, be beautiful, and click.
