New to the World of Blogging

OK, so I have to say I am a bit skeptical of this whole blogging revolution. I'm not sure I really understand the point of posting random thoughts for the whole world to see, and I'm not yet convinced I'll actually put much effort into this project. It seems, however, it is all the rage to have a blog. Or follow blogs. Or blog on blogs. And while I am deeply committed to keeping 'fads' out of my life, I can also appreciate jumping on the bandwagon when warranted....So, don't judge, this is a work in progress...
