The Secret World of the Blogger....

I've been doing some research into blogging lately, just to be sure that in my initial foray into the Blogosphere, that I was doing it right... That if I get to the door of this potentially exclusive club (ie. the Secret Society of the Cool Blogger) that I don't get thrown out by a 200kg bouncer, before I even make it to the bar. As part of my investigative quest to attempt to come to grips with blogging, I read somewhere in the last couple of days that apparently 99.7% of blogs go unnoticed. Well, it's nice to be part of the majority for a change, is what I'd like to say to that...I'm not necessarily wanting to be part of the 0.3% group of bloggers who really shake the universe. Instead, I'm just wanting to rant from time to time about what works in therapy, plus other stuff that people may find useful, as far as their lives and relationships are concerned.


Apparently too, there is a whole other world of Blogger Etiquette that I have known nothing about..For instance, it is usually a given that I should be putting a lot of links to other blogs over here, in that column on the right. I wondered what all that blank space was for- so now I've just stuck another pic of me there.. A space filler, until I figure out how to find all these links that I'm going to be putting there...Bloggers apparently look out for each other, by including each others links in their blogs.. There are probably even annual Blogger Conferences, that I currently do not even know about, where they talk about all this stuff into the small hours. Scary. It seems I'm supposed to put a Twitter badge there too. The web-site people even gave me one, ready to pop in over there (also supposed to go on the right), expecting that I want to be followed on Twitter. The reality is I don't tweet or twit, or whatever it is, and I don't want to be followed anywhere....though I will try and check out the link thing some more. Bye...
