What in Tarnation takes a look at the first posts of some of his favorite blogs including his own. We all begin somewhere. Do you remember what it felt like to set up your template and make that first self-conscious entry?

John Adams is celebrating his BlogDay today and asks:

I’m interested in knowing what posts I’ve written really stuck out to you, if any.

One of my favorite posts is his April 13th entry on blog ethics.

There is also the problem of nuance. The idea that seems so lucid in the author’s mind often seems that way because he/she can hear the voice intonations in his/her head that make all the difference in conveying meaning. This problem of nuance is especially great when conversing with natives of a different country. Be respectful, and give others the benefit of the doubt.

Happy BlogDay John!

LivingRoom and Cre8d are back. Well, the server is back, both are blogging. Rachel Cunliffe is back from a long trip and Darren is on a long trip blogging from Morrocco.

I took the red pill is a writer. She writes. She writes when she doesn’t feel like it, she writes when no one is reading. She writes what others don’t always want to read. And, after all the struggle, it has paid off.

wow, i can talk about this.

i have an approved book proposal with Youth Specialties and Zondervan for the emergentYS line.

publication date: september 2004.

as mark oestreicher said,

“It’s a first-person narrative, combined with “faith musings” — very much along the lines of Anne Lammot’s writing, but with an extra dose of pain.”

i am so, so, so unbelievably, amazingly, dizzily ecstatic.

i have wanted this my entire life.

Congratulations Iphy.

    Bene,

    I was wanting to add your first entry but I know that you have changed hosts and blogging platforms so I didn’t add it. Would you happen to have your first entry laying around somewhere? If you do I would love to include it.

    LoL Christopher:

    I don’t fit the mold……my first ‘blog’ entry ever was at Martin Roth’s Commentary, but Martin did all the tech work…

    Then my next first entry was at a portal…

    Then there was a first on one this blog on MT where I had to learn what buttons to push….

    Then this blog was taken, and it is as you see it now. So many choices….

    That awe, that ‘first’ has happened to me more than once!
    Thank you very much for your willingness to include my first blog post, it’s a great thing for you to celebrate, like a first day at school, and I enjoyed your post. I honestly have no idea how or where I fit.
    Blog on!

Benediction Prayer
