My Very First Blog

Ah my first attempt at a successful post. Well, this whole idea of creating a blog occurred to me today...

A few days ago, I came across a silver Mustang convertible for sale in a driveway near my house. My first thought was that I had to have it. Mustangs had always been my favorite cars and this one is beautiful. I asked my dad. Of course, he shot the proposition down immediately. Today, I called the owner of the car and asked about it. I found out it was an automatic (Awesome- I'm not too swift with a stick) and it had just 43,000 miles on it. They were asking $9,000. Not bad at all if you ask me. But apparently to my father, it's out of the question. You're probably wondering how this blogging business comes into the picture. My friend was texting me at the time and we were thinking of ways to make cash fast to buy this gorgeous 'stang. Obviously, my first reaction was to search "how to make cash fast" in Google. I came across a page that talked about people blogging and making money from the ads. Sounded a little risky but creating a blog seemed like a fun thing to do as well. The article mentioned blogger.com as a free blogging site. I thought, "Why not?". Now that I see how cool blogging can be, I realize I don't want to junk up my page with ads. Screw the money, I'm blogging because I like it.

And that's my story. Interesting, huh? I'm not sure what I'm hoping to gain with this blog. A place to vent maybe? I've had diaries as a child but never one that people could read. As a teenager, so many things are going on in our lives and sometimes things we cannot talk about to friends or family. That's where this blog comes in, for me at least. Enjoy!

  1. I never read Personal Blogs I think you are the first person whose blog i am reading Which is not a technical blog.Found it little bit interesting and a unique blog and a attractive template.And hoping that you will be able to buy the car.
    But i think that you will be not able to earn too much from this blog because it's a personal blog it has no existence in search engines.So you can't get too much of traffic.If you want to earn you Should try Google adsense it is the best because it pays the best on clicks and it has the highest revenue and anyone can trust on Google.
    Best Of LUCK.

  2. Thank you Janmejai for your input.
    I agree about not getting much traffic. That's why towards the end of my blog I stated...

    "Now that I see how cool blogging can be, I realize I don't want to junk up my page with ads."

    I've decided against it.
