This ain't college. It's just a blog. Here's my advice for that crippling pressure (and this comes from long experience as a <a href="http://la.metblogs.com/author/mackreed" rel="nofollow">blogger</a> and journalist) - go ahead and blog something really, really trivial, just to get it out of the way. Maybe you saw someone doing something dangerously dumb on Route 128, maybe you took a photo of some lame graffiti, maybe your favorite band is playing this weekend - but just go ahead and blog <i>something</i> - a couple of lines or something. Then do it again. Then do it again - and hey, presto, you're blogging. Seryusly - it doesn't have to be Shakespeare. It's blogging! Don't psych yourself out. :) Cripes, Michael – so much pressure.
