Whoo! I just started a blog!

Ok, here goes, day one of our Ballarat Library blog-along. A real-life choose your-own-adventure. Over the next few months I will be blogging about blogging, posting about posting, and sharing my every thought on creating my very first learn-as-you-go, never-done-it-before, what-could-possibly-go-wrong blog.

We've looked at some other interesting blogs - two from my home town, Artist as Family and Foxs Lane, and a sewing blog I follow, Handmade by Carolyn.

We've also created a profile, with a pic to follow soon.

Coming up with a name has been much harder than I thought - how to convey what this blog is about while being snappy and original? I've changed it three times already and still don't feel I've nailed it but anyhoo...

We've looked at adding images too. I like blogs that are heavy on the pics but I'm working out of the library so I'm going to have to get creative if I'm going to make these look exciting! I think I might have to sneak some random pet shots in to keep things easy on the eye. I wonder if that's in the rules of blogging?

Brainstorming blog names

While we were looking around the blogosphere we talked about connecting with others. I gather this is best done by commenting on other blogs and trying to establish relationships of sorts. Hmm, plenty of homework to do.

We also discovered it's usual to end your post with a question to readers but I'm not really sure about this. What do you think?
