I chose my domain name: thepowerofeverythingthatis.com. It’s my own name-no one else on Earth can have it. I own it. I picked a nice picture out forrepparttar background-it looks really sweet, much better than a blank sheet in a diary. I got it from a site that gives photos out without charging a royalty (the first few): www.istockphoto.com.

I just want you to knowrepparttar 128783 great feeling I got when I first typed in my domain name and my site came up! It wasrepparttar 128784 equivalent to a person who’s afraid of heights being accepted into an astronaut’s mission into outer space. Or maybe it was like a turtle driving a Ferrari 300km per hour. Possibly it was like allrepparttar 128785 ants inrepparttar 128786 world getting together for peace talks.

It’s a real blast having this blog. I can write on it any time, anywhere, from my laptop, at an Internet café etc. I can write as much as I want, and I’m hoping one day my writing may inspire others to communicate with me aboutrepparttar 128787 subjects that I’m interested in.

Look, if you like writing about anything, and want to have your thoughts and opinions onrepparttar 128788 Internet, maybe meeting others similar to yourself inrepparttar 128789 progress; you have to get a blog and get it now. Don’t be afraid any longer,repparttar 128790 world is inrepparttar 128791 palm of your hands; it’s time to get on!
