I was lost, but now I am found.


When someone creates a weBlog, but before they post for the first time, a message like this one appears. For the newbie Blogger, this message could be pretty daunting and even a little scary. Would anyone read what I will have to say? Will they comment? (Will they make nasty comments?)

With these questions swirling around in my mind, I found that I'd have things to say, but would any of them be worthy of a first post? This line of thought leads to Blogging Performance Anxiety, (also known as BPA.)

I can almost hear the comments now. ("Don't worry, it happens to everyone", "Maybe if you relax for a while, it will be easier", and "Nobody expects perfection your first time.")

A few of days ago, kimananda linked to my unfound Blog. The moment I learned of this, I knew that I couldn't procrastinate a moment further, so I immediately, (give or take three days,) set to work. What sits on your screen is the product of this labor.

To butcher a quote contributed to Confucius, "A Blog of a thousand pages begins with a single post."
