I started Grumble ‘n’ Grin on September 9th as a way to to experience the Blogoshpere and social media. I made some notes about the experience over the first couple of months. Here they are as life in the blogoshpere unfolded:

Eleven days into blogging and playing on the social networks. There is so much out here that sometimes I feel like my head is going to explode!

Do you realize that there are over 4 million blogs out there. That’s FOUR MILLION. I guess most of us are writing to ourselves which is only one step better than walking down the street talking to ourselves.
Ooops – here’s an update. Technorati reports that they have indexed 133 Million blogs since 2002 and that 7.4 Million blogs posted in the last 120 days… and here I thought 4 million was a lot!

One month into the “blog and social media test” and I am surprised that Twitter is one of my favorite tools. It is a bizarre thing to post 140 character mini-bites. You never know if anyone is reading it or not, but who really cares? On the main blog here: it is strange that I never know what I am going to write until I start, but I always have something to say… and I know that I have at least one loyal reader – love ya, honey!

Almost two months into the Social Media and Blogging Experiment. What have I learned? It is time-consuming. There is a lot of content out there, lots of writers and lots of noise. Patience and realistic expectations are keys to maintaining sanity.

Tomorrow is the two-month anniversary of this personal blog. Since I began blogging, I have read a lot about what other bloggers say about blogging. The general consensus is that your blog should have focus… mine does not unless you consider personal viewpoints on a hodge-podge of subjects to be a FOCUS. Somehow I don’t think that’s what they are talking about.

The most interesting blogs are about a specific subject, cars, music left or right wing politics, whatever. Especially if it’s someone with inside knowledge. You need to pick something you know and stick to that, how about figure skating? Maybe you and Bobby could do it together.
