We Blog (or at least intend to do so at some point)

I went to Barnes and Noble near Lincoln Center today and saw a woman in the cafe reading this book very intently, sitting with a pile of other books on how to blog. It seems that, if she tries really hard, she just might become a blogger. I wonder if We Blog has a chapter on blog crushes. If it did, I'd imagine it would go something like this:

"Chapter 1: Blog Luvvin'

The most important part of being a blogger is the mass seduction of your geeky readership. Since you yourself are geeky, do not complain that your readership is no less so. No, it is your duty to make yourself appealing to those who may one day read your blog....

You may discover, after being a blogger for a while, that you have fallen for a fellow blogger. This is perfectly normal, healthy, even. It is estimated that by the year 2050, 99.8% of marriages will be blogosphere-based; some, it is believed, may one day exist only in the blogosphere...."

As much fun as it was watching a woman learn how to blog... I decided to splurge and spent $10 on the most fabulous shoes in the land, or at least being sold on the Upper West Side. (The blue ones, not the pink ones).

(Somehow I think a guide to blogging would advise against sharing that sort of narcissistic, shoe-centric information.)
