To blog or not to blog
Laura M. | Oct 28 2005
Every time I see the "Hacer" title I feel compelled to do something, whatever, to fill it in. Very Gestaltic. Anyway, my question is, do you blog? Don't you think blogging takes away a lot of the time you could be using more productively in other things? Do you ever worry about who will read your blog? Does a blog no one reads exists? I remember once reading that example for personal websites. If no one reads your blog, does your ego will take it badly? ;) In my usual slow way of reacting, I've been thinking about the utility of having a blog when I can just pester people around with my comments on their blogs or on boards. 11 Comments

I'll definitely will go for it now, though I guess my blog would fall into the category "OMG ROFL this guy is a freak" interesting". :) As a matter of fact, I started one over the week-end after realizing my webhost had now a scrypt ready-to-install. I'm not a technical person at all, shame on me, and secondly, English is not my mother tongue. But what the hell, I'll give it a try. Here's the link to my very-empty-for-now blog. I hope to be able to add more meat around it. Looks too minimalistic right now. » POSTED IN:
