Blogging: The First Month

Well, I've been doing this for about a month and I’m still trying to find my “blogging voice”. I have learned a lot over this past month.  Most of my time has been spent getting comfortable with the software and wading my way through the large array of templates, widgets, gadgets and add-ons. The site is starting to take shape. Content is what I need to focus on now. 


Why did I start this blog in the first place? My first motive is as an outlet to express my thoughts and impressions of what I read. I spend a lot of time reading, partly as research and partly out of curiosity.
Secondly, being a parent means that I’m always looking for ways to encourage reading. I want kids to read, not solely as a source of information, but as a means of inspiring creative thinking.  Reviewing books help me remember which ones would make good gifts and for who. Some of them may help with future school projects.
Finally, and most importantly, I really love discovering new stories and seeing how artwork can enhance the experience. I am happy to find that there are other people out there, who not only see the value in manga and graphic novels they have insightful things to say about it.  (Check them out on my blog list).
Well, time to see where month two takes us.
