i know this first posting is on april 1, but this is no joke. my six week old son has his very own blog.
welcome to jack’s blog (web log). hopefully, if i actually keep this updated, you’ll come to know jack through the late-night nonsensical writings of his parents. so why a blog? 1.) i’ve tried the pen & paper versions in the past and that only lasted a few weeks. 2.) it’s the latest hot web-related item. yes. i’ve jumped on the blog bandwagon. 3.) i get to share it with jack’s friend and family and they get to contribute to his chronicles. 4.) blogs evlove and grow as they are created from numerous perspectives. as a result blogs are poorly written, which contributes to their validity as an honest form of online community building. to hear more about this check out the library of congress’s lecture on blogs. there, i’ve covered myself so my writer friends can’t say much about the misspelled words (i mean typos) or the sentence fragments or the fact that i don’t use capital letters most of the time. 5.) the blog software is part of my web hosting service and this is a good opportunity to experiment with it. 6.) the glow of the computer screen at 3am helps keep me awake so i can feed jack while the rest of the world sleeps.
hope to read your comments in the coming weeks, months, and years. happy blogging.
