Finding Your Way Around My Blog

I’ve really been getting into having an online presence lately. I love blogging, and I don’t know why because usually I’m very against drawing any sort of attention to myself. But I’m enjoying this.

I’ve added some content to my sidebar. The “Stuff I’ve Mentioned” section contains links to stuff I’ve mentioned in my previous posts (duh). I’m not putting everything in there, just the things I feel like. Then I have a “Blogs I Like” section. I’ll add to this as I find more that I like. Browsing through the recently updated blogs on Blogger’s main page is fun – except when I see a blog title that may look interesting, then I get to the blog and it’s either a SpamBlog or it’s not in English or any other language I can understand. Bah.

I just added a “Find Me on the Internet” section to the sidebar. Here I will include links to other places I can be found on the internet – most of it will be forums and message boards, and occasionally you’ll find a page of mine from another website. There’s only 2 things in there as of this writing, but when I have more time (that is, when I’m not at work) I’ll find the rest of them and put them in.

The “Old Posts” and “Even Older Posts” sections are just that – stuff I wrote and posted already. It’s all archived here on my blog, so go ahead and peruse through it. You never know, you might find something interesting.

I may or may not be adding more content to my blog – content besides my posts, that is. I basically add stuff when I think of something I would like on here and (since I’m not too up on code) when I can figure out out how to get it on there and look like I know what I’m doing with html.

I hope you enjoy my blog and the offerings of my sidebar!

Updated 8/19/10: This post refers to my old Blogspot blog. Some of it may not be relevant anymore.

Hmmmm…

It’s occurred to me that I am severely limiting myself by only having it about figuring out where to go next. So, I’ve changed the title. I’ll write more a little later.

Putting It All Down

Wow, my first post. My first blog. Who’d ever guess that I’d be putting all my thoughts down here? Well, maybe not ALL my thoughts, just those pertaining to what I want to publish in my blog.

A quick background on me: I’m single, 30s, girl. I moved away from home in a New England town where everybody knows your name – well, everyone knows MY name and my family. I love them, but it was stifling. Especially when I’d be in a store and someone would tell me to say hi to my dad for them. Who the heck are these people? I had no idea. “Dad, someone said to say hi to you.” “Who?” “Dunno, I don’t recognize them at all.”

So I moved away, far away, to the glitz and glitter of Las Vegas. Really exciting, yeah, really. Not for a homebody like me. Not that I want to go back to New England. But this fast-paced, fast-growing, always open land of loose morals is not for me. I’ve known that since the minute I landed here. It’s been nearly 3 years now, and I’m still figuring out my next move. I think I have the where figured out, but not the how. Of course it’s the logistics of it all that’s got a practical gal like myself all tripped up.

So, there’s your intro. I’ve got to get my arse in the shower now so I can get to work on time. I’ll post more about my thinkings and sorting this out later.
