Blogging Roller

I think my <a href= "http://www.rollerweblogger.org/page/roller/20021012#blogging_is_difficult"> Blogging is Difficult post was a little corny, overdone, and maybe gave people the wrong impressions. Writing things for my weblog is not difficult like some painful chore that I dread to do each day. It is quite the opposite. I enjoy it and sometimes I have to hold myself back.

What makes blogging difficult is that sometimes I write things that I later feel to be stupid and embarrasing. I think I'm being little too sensitive and self-conscious about this. My readers probably don't even notice the things that I consider to be stupid and embarrassing.

Another thing that makes blogging difficult is mixing the professional and the personal. Part of the reason that I write a weblog is professional. I want to improve my communication skills and I want to build a reputation as a software architect and developer. Again, I think I'm being too sensitive. I don't worry about the effect on my professional image of wearing shorts & berkenstocks, taking breaks for disc golf, and cranking up the Clash at work. So why should I care about having some fun on my weblog? As long as I don't mention my employer by name and I speak about work only in vague generalities, I'm fine - right?

I'll stop the meta-blogging/navel-gazing now and return you to my normal disjointed ramblings. That is what I promised and that is what I will deliver.
