The Blog Bum

confessions of a blog addict, speeding down the highway to blog heaven, enjoying the company of cool blogs at the blog park

I spend over sixteen hours of every day for almost a month now in front of my PC getting crazy about blogging. Ever since I read a blog on blogging, after having searched that keyword on Google, it seems I have been transported into another world where I could do anything I want to do, be who I want to be, and write anything that came to my mind. That the first blogging host I tried was Blogger might have added to the severity of the bug that bit me. For one thing, they promised I only needed to take three steps to be on my way to blogging heaven and it was true. I was hooked in 1,2,3 steps. No HTML, no CSS to torment me, I had a web page to crow about in less than an hour. Lol.

With so many templates to choose from I could make as many blogs as I desired, no questions asked. Well, not really; on one blog, Blogger's algorithm thought I was a spam bot and forced me to enter verification codes every time I made a post. Clicking on a question mark (?) I was taken to a page where they apologized profusely if I was indeed a human being and not some automated sub-routine or whatever it is those bots are called. I was asked to send an email to clarify the situation but nothing much came out of it. They never emailed me back and they did not remove the verification codes that dogged my every move. Bummer. I'm not really, completely, totally bummed by it. It's a free service after all; they don't charge me for anything and I wondered a bit about that.
