I started blogging unknowingly. I had no clue what a blog. The story of my life blogger does not begin with "Once upon a time ..." begins: I am a frequent user of MSN Messenger, one day note that this program had the potential to create a Spaces. Without much thought, I created my Spaces. I started uploading some pictures of me and some friends to the album. A week later, on August 6, 2005, to publish something I had written. So I started, not knowing that he had written that article would be my first post.
What we publish at that time there was a e-mail chain, or something profound, not something personal, not a criticism of something I saw, or tell a story strange and fabulous. I wrote something just occurred to me, it was titled "Test Absurd", here a paragraph: "... sometimes seems to do something without knowing why or what, but we feel and we feel that we were not us who is doing ".
After that, my first post, I got to continue to publish articles (I had no idea they were called "post"). Gradually he was holding my baby Spaces. To the extent that I began to get interested in learning about html. I learned the basic code to insert images in articles, as the Spaces do not allow that option directly , if you could post images, but with a small size and only went out at the end of the article and not where I wanted to locate. Another html codes I had to learn was the one used to justify the text, because it did not offer that option Spaces.
My second article was hilarious, it was titled "Google, you no longer want." It was a kind of satire against the almighty Google did not know I existed. Here is an excerpt: "They were and 8:26 pm when I came to reopen the GOOGLE website and see what came on the screen if the search bar put my name. To my disappointment, there came nothing related to me. It was frustrating. It was hard to understand that with GOOGLE 8,168,684,336 web pages, did not know anything about me. I thought that if some girl in Slovenia, southern Europe, wanted to know from someone named Ramon Salazar was not going to find anything that had related to me. "
"After that I'm not the same, if there is a god of insurance must have an I-Pod and a Palm, and certainly not know how to find it in scrambled NO GOOGLE, sure my prayers do not reach except by E-Mail to Bill Gates I do not exist, perhaps not really exist, and who wrote it was safe software if it appears in GOOGLE. "
Some friends told me they liked one of the published articles they had read in my Spaces. That motivated me to continue writing. I published two or three articles per month. Rarely received a comment and when it was received from some of my contacts from MSN.
"From as far west poker went from my life," was the name for my third post. A chronicle of the day I learned playing poker. Here are a couple of lines: "... I ask," What play? "They almost in unison, as if they had tested, responded, looking on" poker, men, texas hold'em "they might notice amazement on my face, and how not to be surprised, I expected that I respond that played 31, ajiley, load the donkey .... " "... Also on my mind when thinking of poker, only reflected the image of a little cowboy with jugs of beer, dancing girls, the guns on the table, all in a bar or tavern. I could not associate the image I had of that game with what I was witnessing. " "... Not a week that we meet at a friend's house to play Texas Hold'em poker. I thought it was fair that we dedicate some lines to this, not so easy, game. Total, already more than a year ago come dedicating 2, 7 days a week and a significant fraction of my salary, I could care to spend a few minutes and a couple of lines. "
I visited the Spaces of my contacts on MSN Messenger to see if someone else was using to publish the things I wrote; but only I was with some pictures and copy-paste of some mail.
A friend told me that there was a page that offered the same as Spaces, it was Blogger.com. I opened an account on that page the same day I reported on their existence, and place the same items I had in my Spaces. But after a while I decided to delete all the articles at blogger, and I looked silly, and double work, publish the same content on two different pages.
Apparently Google read my second post. I say this because of the overnight, I began receiving more than 50 visits a day in my Spaces, thanks to Google decided to include in the results of searches that people did on that page. As the number of visits, the comments started to increase. Well, not that post received 10 comments, were usually three or four comments.
Several things motivated me to stop posting on my space and I started to do this in Blogger, among those I can mention: the major limitations in the Spaces having the time of posting (in terms of images or text format), almost no ability to customize the Spaces (only basic changes could be made) and because Spaces are not taken into account as Blogs, except in a very few occasions. So I started testing on my Blogger account. In April this year to publish my last post in my space and also published the first post on my new blog on Blogger. What has happened since April is history.
