Blog Envy

August 14th
There are so many creative people. I wish I were one of them. The MT home page provides a running list of blogs that have been recently updated and I've been checking them out. So many are sleek, clean, and inventive. There's The Girlie Matters, Tightly Wound & Highly Strung, The Kingdom of Squirrels, Pixie With a Crash Helmet, A Whole Lot of Nothing, and more.

The blogs on my blogroll mostly follow my interests but also implement a lot of good ideas I'd like to try with MT, which is still pretty much of a mystery to me (old dog, new tricks issue). Graphics tend to really enhance a blog but I haven't found much discussion about tools to create blog graphics.

I like the way the Internet has fanned the fires of individualism and creativity. You can see how people live elsewhere, what they're interested in, what their day-to-day concerns are. You can find insightful commentary from the political left as well as typical BCD screed from the political right. Baseball, movies, Kansas City, they're all blogged. (I haven't encountered any porn blogs though. I wonder if there are any? I'll keep looking.)

If only I were creative... I'd have one of those cool blogs.
