Blogging skills

After about a month of blogging, it's hard! I want a few people to keep up with me, especially now that a new transition is beginning. But I want the blog to be fun and readable, too. I want to start a public blog, and have spent a little time planning. Whew! It's sort of like starting your own business.....the time sink. What makes a "successful" blog--or is it a "good" blog one wants as #1 goal? These are different.

Boils down to focus--away from the view of the navel and onto the audience. I want to talk endlessly, the blog demands conciseness. And sure enough, in planning, one comes upon the inevitable American artifact, the personality test--what sort of blogger are you. To discover your blogging style. The more you know in advance, the better the blog will be. Like planning for the future, when the future is a moonless night in the desert.

Will blogging be my moonlight?
