Ready, Fire, Aim Creating Your New Blog

Thanks for visiting JamesMcGillis.com.  Since the inception of this blog, a little over six months ago, we have posted over 50 articles on various subjects.  Last week, 750 people from around the world clicked on this website and viewed over 1500 separate pages.  If you compare our results with some of the big political blogs or scandal blogs, that may not sound like much, but we appreciate every reader who “tunes in”.
 
If you could start a “newspaper” today for under $500 and have a readership of 750 people per week in less than six months, would you do it?  If you answered, “Yes”, you are a candidate for starting your own blog.  If you have the skills to use Microsoft Word and FrontPage 2003, you can create effective “text and pictures” blog entries in almost no time.
 
“But what would I write about?” you ask.  That is part of the fun of Blog Clothesline (http://jamesmcgillis.com)creating a blog.  One day you can write about the environment, the next day it might be politics and the third it could be about your travels.  Writing a blog is like diving into a meandering stream.  You may get wet, but you are not going to drown.
 
Once you find yourself in the current of the stream, you will naturally begin to refine the "subject" of your blog.  Since initially, your readership will be limited, you can play around, get comfortable with the process and try out new ideas.  If you look at the list of our blog entries on the right side of this page, it encompasses over forty different subjects.  If you post something and later do not like it, you can "turn it off" or delete it.
 
Regarding your new blog website and its initial look – Your webmaster can easily change any accompanying explanatory text.  If you have an agreement with your webmaster, he or she may offer to do so at no additional charge.  That way, if you find your true passion, you can adjust the Home Page to reflect your current intent.

Although starting a blog seemed a bit daunting at first, it is now an essential part of my personal creativity.  Since I do not paint, sculpt or play a musical instrument, this process is my primary outlet for creating “art”."BLOG" Keyboard Image (http://jamesmcgillis.com)
