I have been putting in a little bit of overtime surfing the web for different things this week and I have had the opportunity to read or glance at alot of blogs and sites. First of all, I have to tell you; there are a heck of a lot of words out there on cyberspace. I've run into lots of interesting articles this week that I have enjoyed- some satirical and others factual, but I have also seen some things that I couldn't make heads or tails of. There was one blog that I came across that had a humorous fairy tale about one of the biggest 'diggers' of our time from the land of "digg" called Wherefore arte thou Mr. BabyMan?
that I really enjoyed. I happened to StumbleUpon a funny item that showed a typewritten letter that was used as a prop on the 1950's TV show 'Leave it to Beaver'. The blogger managed to zoom in to a closeup of the page and we all had a chance to see what was really written in a note that was supposed to be from the Beaver's principal, Mrs. Rayburn to Beaver's father Ward. What caught my eye was the first paragraph form the letter that somehow reminded me of some of the less successful blogs that I read.
Take a look at this opening -
"This paragraph has absolutely nothing to do with anything.
It is here merely to fill up space. Still, it is words,
rather than repeated letters, since the latter might not
give the proper appearance, namely, that of an actual note."

Doesn't that remind you of a blog that you might have seen?
Merely here to fill up space?
I guess things like that just go with the territory.
It isn't always easy finding interesting things to write about, but as the host of this writer4web blog, I will try not merely fill up space.
Some people are serious about their surfing, and some are just looking to get seen.
