I was trying to see what this blogging stuff was all about....

Many, Many, MANY moons ago I decided to see what this blogging thing was all about, what was involved, and whether or not money could be earned from these things.

I personally was not interested, but someone I knew was looking for additional income, and a traditional job was not really acceptable.

So I said I would check it out.

At first I found it quite fun.

Then, I found it to be a little inconvenient.

Then I found it to be very inconvenient - time constraints, pooter problems, other things that were more important.

And to be perfectly honest, I was getting no following.
And no response was a little bit discouraging.

Not one person on the internet was finding what I had to say in the least bit interesting.

Now, that is not really a big deal until you realise that there are people who host photos of bunnies with pancakes on their head who have a HUGE following.
There was a guy who video'd a double rainbow who became world famous.
There are any number of silly, stupid, and insignificant things that people do or collect and display in the internet...... and my thoughts rank below them.......

How am I supposed to feel about that?

Good thing then that most of the time I don't take myself very seriously.......

Anyway, I am blogging again - a bit here, and a bit there, but doing it.

I will say though, that as far earning some extra cash goes, this has been a huge flop - my friend lost interest almost as soon as I put up my first post, so........

But I just remembered that I can check my "earnings" (giggle - earnings: Yeah Right..... ;) )

Well over the whole time, I have had really low view rates - because I am not as interesting as a bunny wearing a pancake hat - and in fact my total earnings have been 1c.
Yep one singular solitary cent.

I think what we can learn from that is that even with this sort of thing, one has to work a lot harder than I have bothered to if you want to make a living out of it.

Well, there's another 3 - 7 views over the next 12 days or until whenever I get to put something else up here.

Later folks....

Skelli.
