i did it...i wrote a blog.  it took longer than i thought, but it looks good, real good.  it's time to publish, click!  OH! There it is, for all the world to see. yippee!

now it's time to rest. i'm exhaused, didn't think i had it in me.

(two long mimutes pass)

hummm, maybe someone commented...i check.

nope. no comments.

ok, game is on, i'll watch tv.

until the commercial.  boring...maybe i'll go check ar again. nothing still.

hummm.  is it really a good blog?  self-doubt sets in. my stomach feels sick. did someone else just experience my same thought...i'll look. .....no! whew.

jeeze, wish i'd get a comment.  maybe it's a dud, a bomb, boring, stupid, maybe i should delete it.

yes! that's it, i'll delete it.

click, it's gone.  whew! it's only been 6.5 minutes, maybe nobody read it.  whew!

blogging is tough. i'll try again tomorrow.

John that's a correct observation.  Taking that first step is hard, but it is also a confidence builder.

I think we need to be sure to help build the confidence of the new folks taking that first step.  I know that is hard to do with all the traffic this site is getting, but us "oldtime Rainers" can do it.

Hey! Number 25 .... the same number of points I'm getting for adding this comment. What a country!

I was amazed at how hard it was to blog ... B.A. in journalism be damned. I spent so much time worrying about what I was going to write and how to present it to a public audience that I never let my own voice come out.

I've tried to turn myself loose a little more here, hoping any readers I do gather (both from within AR and without) have an appreciation for the knowledge and perhaps the wit rather than reading more marketing pablum.

I had to comment on this blog, what a provocative title, wasn't sure what I would find. Ha, shows where my mind has been.

Janet here, new AR blogger. I responded to KK's real estate "if I had a nickel" piece because it hit close to home. In reading the newbie guide, there are so many hyperlinks, how will I ever have time to read them all. Anyways, I am trying to blog correctly and contribute to the subject matter at hand. I am a good typist, think quick and land on my feet always, however this will take some getting used to. So even though this is technically my 2nd blog, I feel it belongs on this post. I can see why Andrew needs a timer as may I when it is all said and done. Happy blogging to all of you.

Hi Kristal,

OK. This is my 1st too! Comment, that is. I just joined & found you from one of Brad's newbie 'how to's. I got here from your profile. I'm slogging through many newbie info posts & links. Maybe I can figure out how to post. Ah, in good time.

I guess this post is really timeless! Most everyone had / has the same feeling when posting their first blog.

Well, this is my very first COMMENT after signing up, not to mention I haven't yet written my first blog.  You could DELETE a blog once posted?  Nice to know! 

OMGoodness, so much to learn and appreciate.  Thank you for making me smile and bringing a real life emotion into this big, intimidating, blog world.
