A Blog Is Born

Posted by Jarrett on November 23rd, 2008

First Post!

According to Technorati Media, 175,000 new blogs are created every single day. Today, November 23rd, 2008, I’m adding my own voice to the vast chorus of unwashed masses crowding the ever-expanding blogscape.

What should one expect to find on SpaceParanoids.net? Well, we’re going to have to find out together. I’m going to make an effort to create some interesting content. You’ll certainly find some original music and plenty of photographs. You’ll probably find some artsy stuff now and then. I may craft a Photoshop tutorial or two. I’m sure I’ll be tempted to share my opinions on politics, religion, popular culture and bacon, as well as my personal experiences as the proud father of a precocious toddler named Ethan, a 25-pound bundle of pure energy around whom my world currently revolves.

Will my humble blog stand out among the other 174,999 blogs launching today? I doubt it. But if you’re reading this, something has brought you to my corner of the intarwebs, and I welcome you sincerely. I encourage you to make comments and offer any kind of feedback. As long as it’s positive. Critical comments (constructive or otherwise) will be gleefully deleted.

Do you know what the hardest part about blogging is? Finding an interesting way to end your post.

Are you using a typewriter? Double-spacing after a period is no longer an accepted standard. I have to delete that in everything I do, when I get copy from another source.

Y’know, the browser is supposed to treat all manners of continuous whitespace characters as a single space. I don’t know what kind of voodoo this Wordpress theme’s stylesheet is doing to override that.

Anyway, I went ahead and deleted the double-spacing. It is a habit I learned in typing class in seventh grade.

Now that the typography issues are resolved, re-read the part about critical comments. :)
