OK, we've established that I'm a freak, or at least feel like one. I feel like I'm just skimming the tree-tops of disaster. That's not good. But, on the whole, it doesn't touch me, which is interesting. This sense of being near disaster is related to my purpose for the blog, though. Maybe I can get into safer territory. How does that work?
From the perspective of my personal sense of - not security, that's too dangerous - serenity, it might help if I'm doing more that's useful. As a writer, a publisher of writings, I'm an aspiring information merchant. (Writing is also about entertainment. Is that a separate question? Can it be treated as such. Does it need to be considered separately?)
In a way, as it's developing here, I'm working in the field of meta-information. I'm not so much creating new information about things, as I am creating information about information. I'm developing - I think, if I'm succeeding at it - frameworks which people can use to access information. This takes me beyond just developing frameworks, it's true. I'm putting information into those frameworks.
Starting here, at this page, how can the reader understand these frameworks, and access them, so as to access the information in the? Maybe I'll do this: in order to provide access, within the mixed themes of a blog, to some specific theme, bloggers can associate posts with tags, which are, in Blogger, called labels. The labels appear at the bottom of every post. So, if I want to keep readers up to date with my work on these information frameworks, I can label updates on the subject with the frameworks label.
