First Post

When you think about it, the first post in any blog should be something special. It should serve up the irresistible genius of the author, and act as a kind of moral example for the posts that follow it. Besides, with over 100 million blogs online, you really need to say something sharp to get noticed.

But this is a tall order, and one that is rarely executed properly. I recommend getting through it as quickly as possible, with minimal fuss, rather than risk committing the amateur mistake of choosing a definite topic at too early a stage, and allowing it to serve as a statement of introduction to the whole intellect. Such things have a habit of appearing on a person's obituary.

It rained today.
