Hello world!
As a first time blogger this is all very exciting and new and a bit scary. We are a team of new bloggers and are very curious and interested to know all about the community of blogospheres.
We have started this blog because we want to find out all about our new venture but why do others start a blog? What feelings about blogging are we to expect? Right now there is a great anticipation and nervous excitement about the prospects of blogging and the great fear that no-one will respond after we have written down our raw feelings about blogging and putting it out there for all to see. So vulnerability is also another emotion we have right now!
How do people feel about publishing their thoughts for all to see?
What advice do you have for first time bloggers?
We are hoping now that at least one person will respond to this blog so we don't feel even less clueless about blogging! So please, if you read this blog do respond. Even if it's only with a 'I have read your blog' and nothing more.
Thank you.

I agree, it's pretty scary. There are so many blogs out there. Where do you start? Is it easier to start your own or just contribute to others? ?!?!?!?!
So far, it seems like it is more effective to start by commenting on other blogs and getting involved in the blogosphere that way. Unless you are starting your own blog as someone who is well known and are likely to have a following that will translate to the world of blogs OR if you already have an audience waiting to read your blog, it is more difficult to post a blog and have people find it, read it and respond...especially as a first time blogger with no blogging kudos!
So, a personal blog about you that your family and friends will read may be a good place to start but even so, it has to be interesting enough for them to read and blog back! In a very peripheral sense, I consider Facebook wall a kind of mash-up of blogs...
