Most people describe blogs and other forms of chat or online gossip to be for the 'younger generation'. Being a part of that generation, I can honestly say that's definitely not true, lots of older people use sites where members can write blogs, so it seemed strange that lots of people expect people my age to have be part of sixteen online communities, and to have written about a hundred and one blogs on each!

In fact, it wasn’t until today, when I made an account on BlogsToday.co.uk, and read a few, that I really understood what one was; it’s basically a place where you can post a topic or article of your choice on a site, rather than send it to a newspaper or magazine, where there’s a high chance of rejection.

This is my first blog, and I can guarantee that I will ramble on quite a lot, but I suppose, again, that’s what a blog is for too, to ramble on and on people who decide to read it! And I love it! Because I tend to go on a bit, and after sending so many myspace bulletins, friends start to get bored of them and so instead of having lots of sweet petite bulletins, they’ve turned into massively long ones instead.

Back to my first point though, I don’t think my generation (I’m 16), do appreciate the use of blogs as much as others realise, blogs sound like they should be long and boring pages of words, generally not interesting. I was a part of that crowd until I searched beyond the myspace bulletin pages and glossy magazines and found a few blog sites to find out what it was all about, and so far, I don’t regret it! It’s just a case of finding subjects that interest you and finding the time and patience to read it. Of course, not everybody has time and patience, but most people do, and they don’t really make the most of it, again, including myself.

So, to round off this blog, blogs are just a place to ramble on at people, and there’ll be someone out there who will probably read it, they might not rate or reply, but they will (hopefully) find at least some of it entertaining if they read to the concluding paragraph!

Normally, I’d apologise for going on, but this time, I’m not going to, because that is what – I believe – blogs are for.
