 A tentative blog to test the temperature. |
|
Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end. So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.     |
| Templates Google Docs has all sorts of templates for various documents. I never use templates but today, being devoid of ideas, I sifted idly through them. There was one for blog posts and I loaded it to see how it performed. It was horrible. The font sizes were huge, the layout was immovable and so far from my blog’s established layout that there was no way I could show it to you avid readers. Just take my word that it was totally unsuitable for my purposes. I wasted so much time trying to bend it to my requirements that I would have been able to write three blog posts instead. If I’d had any ideas, of course. In the end, I decided to squeeze out the one thing the template had taught me. There’s a reason I never use templates. Word count: 139 |
