Cheating

I remember the days when it was hard work to create ones very own "website." That was before the era of blogs, eons ago - I know. Anyway, now you see all of these sophisticated, cute, and creative blogs. BUT, don't be deceived! No one actually writes their own HTML code or even knows what the heck HTML is. (here is a great link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML ). In fact, nobody even uses some kind of great software like DreamWeaver (which is kind of cheating too, but better than blogs). It is quite depressing. And the most disappointing thing is that I, in order to keep up with the Jones' or at least with Mrs. Jones (because I get the feeling that it is my female friends and associates that do most of the blogging (at least in the family communications/photo type blog world (I know I am going to get burned for the whole female thing))) -sorry about the parentheses - maybe dashes are better?- Ok, where was I? Oh, I, in order to keep up with the Jones', must fall in line and shamelessly copy someone else's HTML work and plug it into a system, i.e. Blogger, so that my blog will not be shunned by the other cooler and more creative blogs. If only I had time to truly shine? Yeah, yeah, someday . . . . . someday (in a softer almost day-dream-like tone).
