The Zen Of Blogging

Darren Rowse pointed me to the Zen of Blogging by Hunter Nuttall.

It starts:

They say that when the student is ready, the master will appear. One day I felt ready, and I began the long climb to the top of Mount Blogmore. Was the legend true? Did the old man really exist? No one knew for sure, but we knew that every aspiring blogger had felt compelled to seek him out when their time had come. We also knew they were never seen again.

And so I climbed Mount Blogmore, with a strange force pulling me to the summit even though my knees quivered with fear. It wasn’t my choice, it was my destiny. I had to know if I had it in me. I had to know if my inner blogger was ready to be awakened.

And ends:

There is no blog! A blog has no inherent value; it’s just a medium for conveying value from one person to others.
