While learning the ins and outs of blogging I’ve heard it mentioned quite often that to be a good blogger you need to find your voice. You need to find whatever it is you want to say and say it in your own unique way. This above all else will establish you in the blogsphere.

After several days of starting from zero and trying to figure out WordPress, CSS, blogging, php, abc, 123 and so forth, I’ve finally found my voice…

It is one of a lunatic madman.

This is probably one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever tried to do in my life, except work for someone else. It never fails, every time I think I can sit down and do a task that should take me 5 minutes, it takes me an hour.

For instance, last night I sat down to add the little feed logos to my sidebar here at the WeblogStop and it turned out to be a nightmare. I uploaded the feed plug-in to this blog and copied the code form my sidebar, that’s right I copied it so I wouldn’t get it wrong, and now I have an extra line of text in an h1 heading that says Syndicate. It’s not in one of my other blogs at logcabinfurniture.weblogstop.com but it’s in this one and I can’t get rid of it.

It should look exactly the same, I copied the code from one sidebar to another. I want to blog, I don’t want to be a lunatic technician. I’m not good at that.

I’m not sure I’m good at blogging either since my voice is now one of a babbling fool.
