Fourth Time = The Charm?

It's late. I probably shouldn't be creating my first post on this new blog so late at night.

But it doesn't really matter that much, does it? Besides, I'm eager to see if it looks nice and if the IFTTT connection to Facebook is working properly.

This is now my fourth attempt at a personal blog. You can still find the previous three "out there", if you look hard enough. After all, anything once posted on the Internet will never, ever go away.

From time to time, I find myself wanting to expound upon some topic, and Facebook (or Google+ or multiple Twitter posts) just isn't the right place for it. A person really needs a personal blog like this (these days) to get the kinds of thoughts I'm thinking "out there" where everyone and his brother can read them.


This will likely be my final attempt at a personal blog. Part of the reason I didn't keep up with the others is that I wasn't enamored by the platform. One was on Wordpress.com; another was at LiveJournal (yes, really); another was at Google Sites. Blogger (aka Blogspot), which is owned by Google, has a look and feel that I much prefer.

Update 7/6/24: I've totally changed my tune on the above. I much prefer Wordpress.com to Blogger. If I want to blog some more, I'm not sure where I'll do it.

As of this update, I've been writing here from November of 2017 through April of 2024. I haven't posted all that many articles, but I think this is the longest I've had a blog under the same title/URL since I started way back when.

===

What will I write about? Right now, I haven't much of a clue, but when I do, what you'll read here will be my thought exactly.

One more note before I quit for the night. It's amazing (and yet not) how hard it is to come up with a Blogger site name that hasn't already been taken. Notice that, even though I've titled the blog "My Thought Exactly", the URL is MyExactThought.blogspot.com. I guess someone else had the same exact thought as me some time ago.
