Addictive

Blogging is addictive! In building my own blog I have been to many pages in hopes of figuring out how to grow and promote my site. This is an experiment and a learning curve for future projects, including a parenting manual for which I will need contact with many parents for input.

What better way to learn than to just do it! Well, as with any other learning experience there are unforeseen side effects which contribute to, and distract from, the process.

I find myself reading other blogs and linking from those, to others, and forgetting where I started in the first place! I have begun to mark favorites and list a few on my link sidebar. It is a good thing to have electronic tracking because it simply boggles my brain!

This does seem like a viable way to connect with strong, intelligent people and share what otherwise would not be known. I have to say, it does take courage for me to share what is a very private life. It seems easier to share with strangers. My partner hasn't yet seen this site, and although there is nothing here she is unaware of, it just feels more comfortable to keep it to myself for now. She is aware of what I am working on, but just hasn't seen it yet.

It could just be the perfectionist Virgo in me, but I guess I want it to be presentable and functional before I let it out.
