LockerGnome: Blogging Should Be Sexy

I revamped and changed the focus of the blog I was writing for LockerGnome. Now it's called Blogging Should Be Sexy. Is the neon pink too much? Just cause I like it doesn't mean anyone else will. :)

I wrote an About page for it:

Blogging should be personal, artistic and sexy. Innovative, original and imperfect web publishing for free spirits.

My first blog was on Geocities. Not an official CMS, just something I typed into a text file, added HTML to it and saved to my freebie Geocities pages. I wish I had saved those but I was also writing in my handwritten journal offline so it’s not all gone. Since then I’ve tried several versions and styles of blogs. I’ve stuck with Blogger longest cause it’s fairly simple and lets you focus on the writing and creating instead of figuring out coding and bugs. My current blog was begun June 2004. My first blog was started in 1998.

My blog style is imperfect, experimental and requires creative ingenuity. It’s also a lot of fun! That’s what makes it sexy. I make mistakes, I patch things up and find work arounds. I discover great new ideas and use them. I take risks with my blog cause at the end of the day I’m really doing it to hear myself type. I am pleased to have readers and comments but, I’ll let you know ahead that it’s only me you’ll find behind that curtain. Whatever I am; I am myself first.

There are a lot of sites to find out about SEO, monetization and professional blogging. This isn’t one of them.

I'm also a sucker for hot pink, but I doubt I'm referring to the same thing.

All things should be sexy, really; and to me that means being bold and taking risks, and not being afraid to make some mistakes along the way. While it's not always easy, it is ultimately more satisfying; and is also how we learn and grow.
