i'm still green

Second day of blogging and I still haven't made much of a progress in customizing my blog... *sigh

I spent some time hopping from one blog to another this evening just to realize that the phrase "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" still applies although your blog is actually "GREEN-ER" than other people's blog.

Congrats to Fakhrur for being the 1st person to comment on my blog. Unfortunately, your comment about some blog feed is quite useless cause I simply have no idea what you are talking about. (^_^)v

Usually when one creates a blog, one uses it to express an opinion about oneself or others or something else. Also in many cases, people use it as a media to share information. I haven't quite decided yet on what I'm gonna do with my blog but most probably a mixed of both.

will you come and teach me how to blog?

"Okay, okay... I'll create a blog". That was my response to my wife when she asked me to create a blog just so that she could have something else to read online rather than the usual facebook walls, friendster comments and her friends' blogs.

I guess it's really unexpected of me to not have a blog, especially if you knew my family well. Let me break it down for you: my wife is obviously addicted to blogging, my sister won an award (or were there several, sis?) for designing a blog and my brother practically built an online community for bloggers. So, I suppose it's not wrong for me to join in the crowd.

I chose "greentinted60smind" as the address of my blog 'cause it's one of my favorite songs of all time, played by the best band to ever rock this earth "Mr. Big". Actually, a few things came into my mind before I decided to go for that name. I scouted my surroundings looking for clues of what could make a great name ( or at least how I will feel about the name, not necessarily great though) for a blog. First thing I saw was "Gardenia"... *Seriously? A brand of bread product?. And then I saw "Cold Storage"... *Pretty cool.. if I want to sell groceries through my blog. Third thing I saw was my guitar case and immediately the word "Stratocaster" hit me but darn! if only it hadn't been taken, it would've made such a cool name. Not long after that, I imagined myself holding the guitar and playing green-tinted sixties mind. Voila! Ergo the name.

I guess the next thing I should do is to put some links to other people's blogs on this site (I have no idea how to do this by the way). Can someone teach me how to customize my blog?
