Week 2: #3 Creating a blog

To blog or not to blog.
I've heard people talk of blogs but couldn't imagine myself being involved in the world of blogging. What would I say? Would I want to make my innermost thoughts available to the public? Perhaps one day, perhaps at the end of all this I might be a convert but just right now it all feels a bit not me. Whilst exploring the world of blogs I came accross a blog which was posted by the mother of teenager who had suicided. It was sad and confronting but it presented a very strong message and would have been therapeutic for the author. Nevertheless I do worry about the potential harm that could arise from such an open forum. Call me oldfashioned - you're probably right!

Dear Reluctant Blogger,
Good to see you up and running. I know what you mean about exposing inner-most thoughts. My consolation is that probably not many people will have time to read our blogs, so I'm probably only exposing my thoughts to two men and dog anyway.
