Looking for a Rufous

Gibbs’s Rules would be from my favorite TV show, NCIS, which like MASH did, has survived for many, many seasons. I figure that counts for something. Maybe the Gibb’s Rules (use the link below for the actual rules and what episodes they appeared in) are just my segue into doing this post. Basically, I’m trying to go public with my blog. I figure, it’s time to see what the world thinks of my writings and get some feedback, eh!

Gibbs’s rule #11 says, “When the job is done, walk away.” That has absolutely no relevance to this post, except to say – my contention is there are no rules in blogging. Why would there be? Why should there be? Look at my blog, look at anyone else’s blog. This should illustrate my point that there are no rules in blogging. Go see for yourself, the infinite variety of topics, styles, colors, bad writing, good writing, business and professional blogs, blogs about someone’s cat or dog or their boa constrictor. I used to find the blogs about pets annoying until I realized I was just as guilty given that I had eulogized my own recently departed pet, Morty. Someone close to me commented that one of my blog posts was weird or crazy, something like that. But you see, that’s my whole point. Your own blog can be weird or crazy, talk about and show pictures of your pets, dazzle people with how slick your blog is, or how good your writing is. In short, the world of blogging is without limit, which is why I love it. And besides, it’s the poor man’s self-publishing platform.
