I am wondering if setting up this blog with no real knowledge of html is foolish. But perhaps it is because I'm too ambitious. I could just write and post I guess but that's not enough - I want some sort of connection with my readers (if there are any eventually!) even if it's negative. And I would like to end up with some images etc. Small steps and I will probably learn as I go along from the help section. Undeterred I have tried something new today. I have added a link! <br />It's to OpenDemocracy.net <a href="http://opendemocracy.net"></a> which is my favourite site for balanced news and debate. <br /> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6776862-108210794559958129?l=indigirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>indigirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05373180563767386584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776862.post-1082026968865639092004-04-15T00:03:00.000-07:002004-04-15T04:06:46.653-07:00April 15th <br /> <br />Exciting stuff this. Have just added a comments facility to this site. Now all I have to do is think of something interesting enough to write that people might want to comment on....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6776862-108202696886563909?l=indigirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>indigirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05373180563767386584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776862.post-1081964663340770992004-04-14T10:33:00.000-07:002004-04-14T10:49:27.483-07:00I've been reading other people's blogs for a while now - such a varied world at my fingertips. And a respite from drearier work moments it has to be said. I like the rants - makes me feel like I'm not the only one who thinks that if <em>I </em>(insert your own rant here) knew then (insert your politician) must have known as well... I like the touch of the bizarre but I wish I'd kept a record of all the URLs now like the subservient chicken which kept me amused for, well, minutes, but they were side-splittingly funny ones I have to say. I also have a horrible fascination for the emotional diary sites that make me feel a bit like a voyeur and kind of relieved that I'm not at a stage in my life where I would want to do that (but who knows?!!) <br /> <br />I have no idea what flavour this blog will turn out to be. I suspect there are many others that will always be wittier and cleverer. On the other hand I prefer the unpredictable and unexpected and if I'd waited until I had an idea that I thought was sufficiently... sufficiently.... sufficiently what?? Well I'd never get started would I? <br /> <br />No promises then, no guarantees of top quality blogging but a willingness to see what happens when my mind meets a new space. <br /> <br />I have a strange urge to write about mountains - maybe tomorrow <br /> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6776862-108196466334077099?l=indigirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>indigirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05373180563767386584noreply@blogger.com
