So, a couple days ago I randomly came up with the idea of wanting to start a blog. I don’t know why or what inspired the thought but who am I to question inspiration. I started looking into how to start a blog, who would host it, etc. I Googled the subject and came up with way too many hits so I chose a couple and moved on. I took the first “how to” site on Google (courtneytuttle.com) and read an article titled “Starting a Blog That Isn’t a Time-sucking Money Pit”, a great article. However, this sent me into a whole other set of questions like ‘what is the purpose of my blog?’ and ‘what subject should my blog focus on?’ issues that the article pointed out as important to having a successful blog. As I struggled coming up with answers to those questions I backtracked a bit and asked myself ‘Do I care if my blog is successful?’ the short answer – no. Answering that question made everything easier, at least in my mind, I can post about whatever I want. Will people read it? Will I get any RSS subscribers? Will anyone link to my posts because the liked what I posted? The answer to all of these is maybe, and that is good enough for me.
Now that all that is out of the way, what will this blog be about? I will be posting about things I’ve done, places I’ve been and new things that spark my interest. I expect this whole blog can be summed up by the saying “an inch deep but a mile wide” hence, the name
