Being new to this community (less than a week old) I felt this would be a perfect forum for this post.
Looking at all of the information and the great blogs on active rain it can seem a little intimidating to start blogging. However, being one that once the decision is made then it is time to jump in with both feet I let the blogging begin. One of the very first comments received could have been considered a bit snarky. I quickly shut down the computer, put my tail between my legs and resolved that maybe this was not for me. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that maybe it was just my perception. We don't have the benefit of body language or inflections. Only the occasional SHOUTING through text. Since the comment was not in all caps I thought okay, I will give this another try. So far so good and the other comments on the post have been kind and friendly. By the way, thank you Active Rain-ers for that.
For all of us new to blogging and to active rain, I give a pat on the back. Try and try again. This really is a kind and friendly community with a lot to offer.
I'm glad that you didn't give up after your first blog.
