    The Blogging Phenomenon 

    I haven't been at this for too long, at least compared to many blogs I've been reading of late. I have, however, been bitten by the "bug" that is blogging. Although I do not update it everyday, mostly because I just can't get organised or disciplined enough to do it each day, I do spend some time on the subject of blogging each and almost everyday. Take the last couple of days for instance. Work has been somewhat light in the busy department lately, so I find myself with nothing overly pressing to do. Of course, I am the great procrastinator, and feel I do some very good work when under the pressure of a deadline. No deadline = procrastinate.
    Anyway, getting back to the original line of thinking...I have spent the last three days at work looking into various aspects of blogging. I've updated this site with little links and code that I've found on other sites. I've looked at numerous reviews and sites over at Weblog Review and have set up a way to easily review most of the blogs I like to read over at Bloglines. Some of the sites I've looked at could easily be questioned by the higher ups as to the validity of my time spent on them...but I can't help myself. I'm curious, as though starving, for ideas and probably somewhat nosey in reading the personal blogs of some people. I find it fascinating the amount of detail some people are willing to reveal in their blogs. I've always been a people watcher, and have always been interested in how people react to things. Whether it be adversity, or joy in their lives. I have an interest in the human psyche. Weird? Maybe. But this is where I get my stimulation in this world of humanity. I would like to be that proverbial fly on the wall in many cases and in some way some of the blogs put me there. I've also noticed, as far as readership goes, for the most part it is the personal blog that has the largest following of loyal readers...that and of course "sex" blogs. I guess I'm not alone in my voyeuristic tendencies.
    Well, after reading many of these very well-written blogs I suddenly get a feeling of some inadequacy. Time will tell, I suppose, if that feeling passes. Whatever the case, these are my thoughts and opinions, and teacher always said you can't argue with an opinion as long as it's backed up properly. Hmmm, that seems like too much work for a procrastinator like me. I'll just give you my opinions, you do with them what you will, OK?
