Peep Gets Personal
Posted by Hal
Okay so there's lots going on in peep-land but first an announcement. As of Monday, this blog is going to get personal. Anyone who's been reading these posts knows that I've mostly been concentrating on outside links, interviews, research and other aspects of the peep phenomenon. But part of the point of this blog is to see what it's like to peep my own life. I haven't really done that yet. I haven't even managed to post promised pics from our Florida trip and an update about E's lost shoes. So no more! It's time to get personal. I'm clearly going to have to force myself to blog about my day to day life, so here's my plan: every second post has to be about my quotidian existence. I'm making a rule and sticking to it.
So what inspired this momentous decision? Well I did an interview yesterday with a young woman named Emmalene who hails from Hamilton, Ontario. She's a video blogger on YouTube (a status I'm hoping to work up to). Anyway, she's a funny eccentric who doesn't seem at all phased by negative comments, giving her opinion on evolution vs. intelligent design ("that's just my opinion...I'm not not sure what to think"), or posting videos of her singing songs that she barely knows the words to.
She talked to me about lonelines and community and how YouTube has become a major element in her life. And I realized talking to her that I'll never understand what it's like to have total strangers cheering you or telling you how much you suck until I actually give people a reason to make an emotional connection with me by sharing more of my life. So that's the plan. But not today. Not yet. Next post for sure. Probably Monday.

If you are just starting out with your own website or are perhaps moving your blog from a free hosting service to a paid hosting service running WordPress, you will do yourself a huge favor by learning all about iThemes as a premium WordPress theme developer. Not only do they provide a nice collection of themes, Builder being their seminal offering, but they offer plugins and extensive resources for understanding WP and web design in general.premium Wordpress themes

There is some significant debate throughout the internet as to who indeed is the first video blogger. I would like to have some kind of independent references on this. Work from home
