[LEMONS] 7.12.2002
One of my favorite aspects of reading weblogs is that they aren't professional. This was one of the reasons I initially began keeping a weblog, too. I was tired of obligations: to readers, to editors, to advertisers, to the rules of grammar. I wanted to do something for me. Weblogs allow you the freedom to write, or not write as you feel like it, or as events dictate; to inject a piece with your personal feelings; to say things you could never say in a "respectable" publication, even though you should be able to; to make it look how you want it to look, damn the reader surveys. Weblogs are never obligated. And along those lines, I've always liked it when I go to read someone's site who posts regularly, and there isn't a post that day. It always makes me wonder, "huh, what's [your name here] got going on today?."
