How I became a blogger

Note: to best appreciate this post, you’ll actually need to read it from my website: in a future article I’ll explain why. (Yes, WelcomeBack is coming ;-) and it’s related to this.)

What brought you to start a blog?
Friends. My first blog, in June 2005, was on an Italian blogging platform (Splinder) equivalent of Motime.com: that time a blog represented, for me, a bridge between me and my friends, who could know my thoughts and feelings almost everyday.
The strange thing about this definition, my reader, is that I keep believing it. I don’t believe in Splinder any more thou, as you probably know, because I found in a self-hosted WordPress installation the best solution for every purpose.

Your first post?
It starts with:

Well, so I’ve started a blog. I haven’t understood the reason of this yet: first, I don’t know what to write; second, I don’t even know if I want to write, and third, connecting to internet is expensive and my parents will kill me soon.

The post you are ashamed of?
It’s not being ashamed, believe me: once I wrote about Prodi (Italian current Prime Minister), and my article somehow was reported on libero.it (very popular Italian portal). I had tons of comments, mainly flames. But I believed and believe what I wrote in that post.

The post you are proud of?
It’s a hard question. First, I’ve got many posts I’m certainly -not- proud of, but choosing one in particular is very hard…

And you?
And you, my reader? Would you like to continue this meme? I’d like to know your answers! :)
