Well folks we’ve made it a whole week on the ol’ blog. I’ve learned some very important lessons in this short time.
1. Never make blanket statements about today’s culture without doing a little research. One day after declaring this the most musical era in my lifetime I hop online and see headlines on all the news sites telling me the music industry is in decline. To top it off its not downloads that’s killing music but lackluster artists. Hmmm note to self, I wonder if this is what it felt like when disco died.
2. Don’t play around on websites that offer free counters and polls for your blog. I spent the better part of the last two days adding, deleting, rewriting my blogs template thanks to some of the crap I’ve tried to add on. My advice, add a counter with no bells and whistles and that’s all. Simple clean lines that’s how we blog in the ‘06.
3. Even if you think some people you know might not appreciate your blog, invite them to check it out anyway. Really the outpouring of support from all walks of life has been overwhelming. Kudos to you readers.
4. Set aside time for writing and stick to it. If you put off your column until the end of the day then you might wind up with some half assed topic like congratulating yourself on your 1 week anniversary.
Excelsior,
P Cobb
