The REALLY scary part of blogging...

Okay...So I took the first step and actually posted a blog. Now comes the even scarier part--telling people about it and inviting them to take a peek. Hmmm...Whom should I contact first? My mind starts assembling a list:
--those who will be kind
--those who are not tech savvy and will therefore be most impressed with my
efforts
--those who will only glance at my info, give me a token pat on the back and
post a generic comment such as "Nice job!"

My mind shifts gears, and I'm thinking about all the teens out there who have recently created MySpace (or whatever SNS) pages and are anxiously waiting responses, hoping someone will ask to be a friend. I'm thinking of the teens who already have such pages and have no troubles spilling their guts online and sharing all of their personal information as well as their most intimate thoughts. How do they do that? Was I born into a different generation that has more inhibitions than today's teen generation? Do I just need to get over my
blog-o-phobia and let loose? Time will tell.

Meanwhile, I'm off to invite some people to view this blog. Maybe I'll go ahead and add a few techno-talented people in order to get their constructive criticisms. I hope they will be kind!
