Do You Have Blogorrhea?

Posted by Sophia as Opinion, Tips, Writing Bloggers who write detailed accounts of their lives tend ramble on about the littlest details. Sometimes they're juicy (what you did during a weekend getaway with---oops!), sometimes they're a tad too colorful (how you won a hotdog-eating contest and had an appendectomy in the same day). Blogorrhea?

You don't mind, since it's unbelievably soothing to write all these details down in the free-for-all that is the Internet. But what about your readers? Your visitors?

Hello world!

Posted by Sophia as Software and Widgets Hello everyone! I'm Ia, another Blog Tutor signing on. While I've already head of blogging back when Blogger had URLs ending in .pyra, web design was a cinch with table layouts, and I would never have thought of paying for my own domain name and space, it would take several bouts of hesitation before I proceeded to work on my own site.
