Welcome to Blogland

I have never written a blog. I have never subscribed to a blog. I am for all intents and purposes a ‘blog virgin’.

I can’t help feeling that it’s a rather unfortunate name “blog”, and yes I did look up its provenance (web log) but the image in my head is still a cross between a rather muddy swamp and a natural bodily function.

All that aside, here I am. Blogging.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not technologically impaired, I have a facebook account (I think I even created a twitter account at some point in the distant past), in fact I already spend 7 hours a day in front of a computer screen…and therein, I think, lies the problem. I’m scared. My greatest fear is that I will discover that blogs are in fact awesome. My ‘to read’ bookshelf has morphed into its very own bookcase, the magazine subscriptions pile up week by week as I battle to get through one before the next arrives – my head is simply telling me it doesn’t have room (or time) for more reading material. Because I KNOW that I will – not a doubt in my mind – find blogs that are great, indeed so fantastically full of exciting information that I WILL become addicted to them which means I will have to find time to read them.

And so I dive, headfirst, into the muddy swamp that is Blogland.

My new favourite blog (ok i lie – it’s the only blog i’ve subscribed to so far) is appropriately titled This is Naive – a really great little blog about ‘beautiful things’ by a London based photographer. Time spent trawling through this blog today: 47 mins (and i will be going back).
