Introductions

The time has come. My memory isn't getting any better, and of late I have been reminded quite graphically of my own mortality.

So I'm determined to start keeping this journal, to get into text what my memories still recall, and reach out to try to find some of those characters lost along the way.

The advent of social networking sites, which I will use in conjunction with and also to promote this central blog, gives me an opportunity to reach out to many people, and in doing so, amalgamate all my blogging onto this site, which is basically a blog of all my blogs, so I titled it Blog o' Blogs.

The links that I will be putting up to navigate to my other blogs will take you to the extreme ends of some of my myriad mental rabbit holes, if you want to dig after it. There will be some secrets revealed along the way, and maybe there are some seeds of reason hiding midst those briars and brambles that you will find worth keeping.

I invite you to comment on any of these blogs, but especially here on the Blogo'Blogs. Let me know what you think. It will help me determine where my issues and ideas matter, and which blogs just aren't interesting enough to generate any response, good or bad.

When I get comments on any of them, I will respond, but it will all depend on the flow of comments.

No doubt, some of those old blogs will remain inactive just as they have been for years, others will get occasional, even intensive input, because they are not only still pertinent but essential to my purpose of utilizing the web to piece together the story my memory is losing all too quickly.

I know there may be some downside to what I am about to ask, but it is the only way to get the upside: if in the process of reading any of my posts, you recognize someone you know or even yourself, as one of those characters I've lost to time, or if you remember anything at all that is related, please email me directly at jepatt07@gmail.com with your observations and connections. I know there were so many peripheral characters swirling around the main ones we remember, and sometimes they saw more than those who were immersed in it.

Hopefully, this log will help me piece together some of the blank spots that are nagging me in my memory these days.

This will also be the place where I publish my weekly "Emails to China", that blog is about to get started, along with my first video blog, Rough Hewn, also a music audio blog where you can download some of the accompanying original music...and you can find it all here on the Blogo'Blogs.

Stay tuned, and don't feel at all reticent to click the ads on my pages, part of what Blog o'Blogs is about is monetizing my Blogger experience, I'm seriously curious just what sort of traffic I can generate, and while I don't get to choose the ads, I hope the people at Google who pick those ads are wise in their choices. And that is the last and only time I will talk about that.

That being said, if you represent anything I can feel good about promoting, contact me and we will entertain some advertising options. I can post anywhere among the blogs someone might find appropriate. While I can't choose the Google ads, I can post anything else, including most advertising, so keep that in mind if you think it might help get your cause or product some effective exposure.

If I'm going to let Google pick their ads for me, then I'm going to use my own space for any ads I find compatible with my own message. Some very successful blogs use this formula quite efficiently.

If you happen to read this somehow before I publish the "Grand Opening" announcement, comment on how you got here if you would, and of course, please check back in and watch the progress, I'll find a logo and put up the links to the other blogs next.

I'll be making an introduction text box out of this first post, please comment on that post all the way at the bottom of the blog, if you have any input.
And of course,l thanks for looking in.

DON'T GO DOWN THIS RABBITHOLE!

If you get started, you never know how far you'll go.

There's been no traffic to this blind site, I haven't promoted it yet, but will do so very soon.

I am still dangling this little paragraph of comment-bait out there, unpromoted anywhere else but right here, to see if some chance shark or bluegill happens by.

So if you read this and you didn't hear about it somewhere else, you somehow just stumbled onto it, leave a comment on how you stumbled onto the place before it went public.  I would love to know how it happened.

If you stay tuned, and watch for updates and directions, you will get a chance to dig much deeper, and the secrets that lie hidden in the future progress of this blog will be revealed.

  1. any diligent blog sleuth can already navigate to places undiscovered, however for those who want to follow along, I'll post links to some of those blogs among the blogs, if you see something that matters to you, comment on it, if you would.
