Blog Mania
I was not much into blogging/orkutting.But I couldnot help but start a blog of my own, otherwise it seemed difficult to survive.Thus, I decided to take the not so easy road of blogging.In this creative process of creating a blog, the first step would be checking out the websites that provide an easy means of maintaining your blog.It didnot take me much time to finalize on eblogger from google.Well ,all the bloggers I knew at the time were using blogger.com.And by nature I am lazy enough to put up extra pain to find out something which others have already discovered.
Next came the big challenge, what should I call my blog.You know its always difficult to "Name" something.The name always has to put up the rite first impression.To be honest , an intersting name will give me freedom to put up almost anything in the blog contents, as 95% of the readers will check the name and then decide to continue further or not.So my major intention of letting people know that I have a "Blog" won't be tough to achieve.Well!! well!! , after spending full 24 hrs of effort after the name search ,I finalised on "Pipe dreams".I was so happy untill I realised i had to feed in a subtitle as well.I said to myself , "allrite , Donot worry dear!You survived the 'Name' .You can handle the 'Subtitle' stuff too ". So after gathering all my courage I leaped forward to search the entire ocean of "English Words-Phrases" for an appropriate "Subtitle" .It took me another two days to finalise on the initial lines of "The Dream of the Rood" - a verse translation by "Douglas B. Killings".I was done with the blog title and subtitle, what challenge could await me next. There it was , the "URL".
The "Unique Resource Locater" , thats what I believe the "URL" stands for , was no easy deal for me.I was tired of searching appropriate names/subtitles. During this difficult time of "Names and SubTitles"(:-)),the only thing that was by me was the "Televeision" with thousands of ads on weightloss,good figure every minute.I was exhausted , my brain was dead, and anyways who looks at an url ,so I decided to call the "URL" as - "liteoilnopaingoodshape" as a tribute to all those ads that stood by me and supported each and every little step forward with another ad .Ooh!! Now I could see my own blog.Just type www.liteoilnopaingoodshape.blogspot.com , and you can see my "BlogSite".I was thrilled.I felt great, until the next set of events showed up.
I had a blog site with no blogs listed .I felt disappointed.Now that people can see my blog-site, what impression will they carry forward if it doesnot have anything beyond a "Name" and "Subtitle".The need for appreciation forced me to create at least one blog , before I could announce the arrival of my "Blog" to the world.Hence, with much anxiety, I started writing the first blog.Almost 10 mins went by , still the "Content Page" was empty.30 mins passed by, Still the page looked as white as it was in the beginning.After all this pain ,I felt miserable that I could not decide on what to write on.Millions and millions of thought were racing in my brain, but alas!! none of them were related to a similar topic.For the first time I sincerely believed that at least 500 things cross my mind in 5 seconds , and they are all as diverified as possible.I was on the verge of breaking down with frustration, something caught my attention.It was a book I read last nite.This book was a very different yet good experience for me.I was fascinated by the way the author put forward the picture of an American life.At that very moment , I thought I could write about this book.Though It is not related to "Dreams" which my "Blog" gives an impression of delving into,I decided to write my first blog on it.So I published my first blog.I was relieved, I have a blog. I was so very much dying for the appreciations- "I had visualised, I deserved for the blog" ,that I could not control myself calling up everybody and asking them to check out the blog.
After that fateful day of "First Blog" , every 1 hr , I would go and check my "BlogSite" for some kindaa of comments , no. of profile views.After 5 days I was almost "heartbroken" as realisation struck me as a thunderbolt that all the increase in my profile views are only because of me . And the fact that "No Comments" yet testified my realiasation.
I was upset.
Then the very next day , a wonderful thought came to my mind.Why not to write about the first blogging experience itself. I was all upbeat .I ran to my room, grabbed my laptop , logged into blogger.com, created a new post .......
Well,I hope you all know what happened next.
