Invisible

Of course I am aware that I am an invisible Blogger at present.

There are now millions of Blogs out there. XML and other technologies are providing the means by which this great mass of writing can semantically discover itself. This, in turn, means that we may eventually link up - whoever you are.

I am in no hurry. Already my Blog title has lied because my posts have not been diurnal - I am full of good intentions! I do intend to write most days though.

Eventually, there will be material placed here which should attract some passing trade. For the time being, I am quite content to just sit here in Blog Space - watching the world go by.

The Beginning ... of What?

Just when the pundits were saying that literacy could be dying, buried under an avalanche of sound and light, the 'Blog' arrives.

An explosion of mass literacy - unprecedented in history it seems.

Suddenly, everyone is a writer, journalist, reporter, polemicist, apologist, propagandist, poet, prophet, observer... Graffiti artist.

On a whim, I decide to join in. What will be the result?
I have no idea.

Only time will tell... Blogs are by their very nature, chronological.
