ex(PR)essed

Ah…the wonderful world of blogs. Let’s see. I’ve been at this since January 24. I like to think that I was a bit of a pioneer — one of the first on campus to really embrace the idea of blogging and to even add it to my weekly to-do list. I don’t know how you access my blog, whether you sift down through the list at blogs.messiah.edu or whether you come directly to ex(PR)essed. But, if you use blogs.messiah.edu to read Messiah blogs, you may have noticed that they’re listed in order based on latest posting. So, if I’m the latest person to blog, ex(PR)essed jumps to the top of the list, and, I must admit, I like seeing ex(PR)essed at the top of the list. I get a strange satisfaction from such a little thing.

Ok…so today I mosey into work only to learn that Justin (web services guru) has added FOUR additional bloggers. Students. And guess what? Two of them are already blogging like crazy, and they’re doing a fantastic job. I think they’re funnier than me. They’re more interesting to readers (except my mom maybe), and they’re both clever and stuff. And, ex(PR)essed was dangerously close to the middle of the list. As I mentioned, I don’t care for that!

So, now it truly feels like “game on” in the blog world at Messiah. And, honestly, I love it! Be sure to check out Stephanie Rajchel, choose your own adventure, not as good as an ice-cream cone, and wit has truth in it. A few are still under development, but now’s the chance to watch these blogs develop and grow into true reflections of their writers!

Let the games — er, I mean blogging — begin!
