Punch the keys

I have been trying to get my content from www.mdominic.com , which is hosted on blogger, over to the posterous site. But after an initial euphoria, I realized that all my posts were truncated. Only the first few sentences have been imported.  Have sent a mail to the posterous support team. Lets see if i get any help to this problem. 

The entire day today, I was experimenting with some of the themes that I found on the internet. I liked the WordPress sites and their look and feel, so thought I would try to get some theme like the ones on the WordPress blogs. I was even tempted to move over to the WordPress site because of the themes, then decided not to. Nothing against WordPress, (quite the contrary judging by the time I spent on the site) but I just wanted to stick to blogger. There's an old saying about a man and his blaming the tools when things didn't weren't working out. So thought that I would work on my blogging/writing "skills" and see where it goes before making an "informed" choice on the site. ;) Incidentally, there are sites that specialize in converting the WordPress themes to blogger compatible and vice versa. The best ones I found on wpbloggerthemes wordpresstoblogger deluxetemplates Found so many wonderful themes that it was difficult to decide which one to settle on...

"Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries . A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Link to the wikipedia page Great! So reading on blogs, I learnt what "portmanteau" meant. That is something the internet provides. Unlimited learning. You start with one and you end up with a load of information. I started blogging with a question to myself. "Can I give something back to the community?" I have happened to learn so much...

Well, this is my first post on the blogging site. Thought I would try out blogging for the heck of it. I happened to go through a lot of blogs earlier while googling for info and thought that it may be a good idea to have a blog of my own. So I went ahead and created an account in blogger a couple of months back. Why the delay with the first post? Well, I have put in a lot of thought and was waiting for an inspirational subject. But then nothing happened. So i quit waiting for enlightenment. I may be just babbling but then... the experience is very different from traditional styles. In oral methods, conversations, debates, discussions, the topics and the "audience" is very well defined. With web content, it used to be informational matter. Blogging seems to be a mix of everything... a bit like diary writing, a bit like taking to yourself, a bit like writing a mail, a bit like everything else... Maybe slowly I will get the point, but not yet. So till then I think I will just ...
