Voice in the Wilderness: heard

So I'm minding my own business, working hard, playing sports, studying for an exam, putting off working on this poor blog, when *WHAM* - blogging heavy, Timmy (Voice in the Wilderness), links to me. Too bad I haven't set up Site Meter yet - it would have been amusing to see the sudden, severe uptick in traffic today.

So now I'm feeling a bit of pressure to get started. It still won't happen until late May (most likely), but I still fully intend to give blogging a try. If, at that time, you're still looking for another procrastination outlet, please feel welcome to come back for a visit!

bonjour simon!

david told me that i had a new subscriber! thank you! and thank you for bringing up my list of subscribers to 4, making me number 4812 in bloglet for being so uncool. boo! now with more people reading i'll have to be entertaining. damn! :)

anyhow, you should do a audiopost and say only "transfer". i still haven't heard you say it. i've been told that you're really good.

good luck on the blog! you should have time now that you won't be studying... lucky you!

Hi Mag! Thanks for stopping by.

I'm still pretty busy at work though, plus I need a bit of time to figure this whole "blog thing" out (not to mention get some thoughts organized so I don't get writer's block in week 1!).

I like your site - not only will it be interesting because of your amazing trip, but I like that you also offer pointers about blogging e.g. making columns wider, posting pictures, etc. I'm a total rookie so I'll be stealing as much info from you as I can.

À bientôt!

"Transfère!"

Oops, I've been told that it is actually

"Transfert!!"

i guess that means that was also wrong... dang!

by the way, i'm sorry if i exposed your secret about the exam!

as for the blogger templates and how-to stuff, you can also ask me if you have any questions. chances are, i might not know either, but whatever! steal away!

I was just kidding around with David when I mentioned that you had 'exposed my secret' about having just decided to not write the May exam; actually, next week I will be starting on the next one (so I'll still be busy studying & working)! I figured that I'd better start early this time as it's a huge (and difficult) exam.

Look at that! A third post and you've already got a lively chat going in your comments.

You're destined for big things, my lad...

I'm still watching...;)

Thanks for the continued support Timmy!

I can assure you that your hopes for me are set far too high though!

I'm with Magalie. While I greatly enjoy getting your comments on my site, I would love to see you get yours up and running. We need as many progressive voices as possible in the Canadian blogging community.

Still waiting...

Um, thanks Happysam. I mean, I guess. I haven't really posted anything yet!

If that was indeed a compliment, let me say that I hope everyone will be just as easy to please!

Timmy: it's a lot easier to comment than it is to post!

Mag: do you have any ideas for me? I've already got writer's block :)

ideas!?! you say writer's block, i hear blah blah blah lazy!

sometimes i have a hard enough time with my blog as well though, so i do get what you mean. i think it would help if i knew what your blog was about, ie, some sort of topic. is it about you, your opinions, politics, sports, procastination? perhaps if you were set on the blog's purpose, it might give you ideas as to where to start.

i find that it's easier to just write something everyday, even if really short, rather than pondering on that next big post. just get out there, even if it's not perfect, at last you'll be getting into the habbit of posting regularly.

i check your site just about everyday. gimme something else to read than these comments! hehe
