Why I Blog…

Posted on June 25, 2008 by CM'Blog

When I started blogging (about 20 days ago), I said, “Alrighty…this is neat…I can do this…now what?” Then I came across Mobilizing Generation Web 2.0 (something of a bloggers how-to for starters) and it’s been a launching point for my GreatDebater Weblog ever since. From Technorati to Blogger, CSS to XML, I can’t get enough of it!

For me this has been more about refining my thoughts and inviting others to do the same. Now I have my mind set on sharing that invitation on a larger scale so that the Great Debate can really take hold. You see, I like conflict. Especially when it comes to competing ideals. If I can count on you to take the debate to a greater level, then maybe together we can build a place where voices are actually heard.

In the short time that I’ve done this, I’ve realized that the best way to do this is to create win-win relationships online. If you would like me to link to you, leave me a comment with your blog name, URL and preferred category listing (i.e. political, entertainment, weird stuff etc.) and I will add you to my blogroll. In exchange, please link to me. Also, contact the other people who have commented and get them to link to you too.

-Chris

    Hi,

    I’ve linked your blog to mine. The link to my blog is http://www.mightyminnow.wordpress.com.

    It’s always great to hear what real people are thinking/saying. It’s quite a refreshing break from the tired old cliches you get on TV, radio, and in the newspapers.

    Thanks for the comment. I’ll add you to my blogroll, but I’m not sure I can categorize my blog with one word — unless that word is eclectic. I talk about politics, religion, economics, and then some downright humorous, offbeat stuff. My blog is at http://supercynic.wordpress.com. Take care, and I look forward to the discussion.
