Your e-tribes/life site

I took it up, just on a whim. The registering process wasn't very intuitive, and I got muddled up between usernames, passwords, e-mail addresses for abc and etribes, failing in the end to quite make them the same. Once I'd registered, I naturally wanted to read other sites, but as far as I can see there's no central community, or, at least, no way to find a list of other members, of the sort you get on most web communities (unless I'm missing something). I wouldn't expect the world at large to visit, but I'd hope to build up a few contacts and links with other members. Maybe I'm the Neil Armstrong of all this, though. The idea of my having the stamina to maintain a blog is laughable, but I've decided to write occasional notes on my ideas about things - just for a touch of random writing practice, really, and as an extension of my diary habit. I've managed to wrestle a short post up, but, now that I've turned into Mr Magoo, I was disapponted the font was a degree too small for comfort. I'd have hoped - if this little site be truly mine - that I could choose the size of the font; but apparently not. Also, there was a glitch that I'm quite used to from ABC: big gaps appearing between the paragraphs of my text - but that was easy enough to rectify. Thrilled with the novelty of having my own site, I promptly looked it up on the internet but got no hits. Perhaps that takes time to go through Hopefully you will take these as constructive criticisms, given that you intend eventually to make money on this. I think the whole idea is neat, especially for computer illiterates like me. I was impressed by the lack of popups, by the austerity of the design, and by the cleanness and speed of operation.

I found mine, and promptly added lots of my favourite links to it. And a sort of 'sub-heading' under my name. But the idea of a blog has never appealed to me, so I thought I'd use it to put some poems up initially. I'm sure a more definitive use for it will evolve.

i set one up, and advertised the fact that my cat is missing. i havent a clue how to link to other sites on it, infact i maynow have lost it, i will have to find your email agan.. tony lol.

At first I thought it might be like myspace but for the functionally literate, then I decided it was more like livejournal for grown-ups, for a brief moment I thought it might be a bit like flickr for writing, or maybe even deviantart for people who aren't goths, then I finally decided it was basically blogger for people who don't understand blogger. Is it web2.0, these days it's got to be web2.0.
