I have been talking to a few friends and it seems like most of them try to have a theme to their blogging. The themes mentioned were dieting, getting through school, money, artistic talents, and politics.
I decided to focus my blogging around my experiences as I try to enter the age of technology. My granddaughter, Natasha, has agreed to be my coach. She has successfully gotten me set up on Facebook and Twitter, and on this blogging site.
I am beginning to learn a little of the necessary language. I have learned that the word blog comes from combining the last letter of "world wide web" with the word "log" (as in a log book), meaning that a blog is a written record available on the world wide web. I was surprised to find the word had a logical background to its creation.
I am still struggling with the twitter/tweet concepts but I imagine that will come soon. I have promised my granddaughter that once I get a handle on all this internet stuff, I will consider tackling a cell phone. (Shudder! Whimper! Gasp!)
I am a devoted Quote Collector and I selected one for today's challenge.
You cannot run away from a weakness; you must sometime fight it out or perish. And if that be so, why not now, and where you stand. --Robert Louis Stevenson
I have committed to fighting it out until I master it. Wish me luck.
