I've spent the past few weeks trying to immerse myself into everything I could find that is blog. I've barely scratched the surface. It's starting to look to me like there's almost as much information about blogging as there are blogs. It's positively mind-bloggeling!

This morning I came across a post in 'Successful and Outstanding Bloggers' (I promise to get back to you this afternoon with the link). From the point of view of one who aspires to make blogging a career (well, at least for now), the site is a rather fine find.

One post that caught my eye talked about the blogging community. It struck me like a light bulb: we who write and read blogs have more of an opportunity for community than anyone has ever had at any time in modern history. We don't write for ourselves, we don't read alone. It's an interactive society and I'm happy to be part of it.

With that in mind, I suppose I'll be learning to incorporate something more of a 'what-do-you-think' color to my writing life. It can be done and it can be done well. After all, what's the sense in belonging to a community if you don't participate in it?

While I'm here, I'll post the URLs for the two other blogs I have now:
