Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken. ~ Oscar Wilde

— Oscar Wilde.

I appreciate your time.   They’re short. My belief about the likely response in sharing them may not be all that well founded but my true feeling is that a stranger/friend (peer) is more likely to be forgiving if they watch My Third Film first.   I am genuinely afraid if you watch them in the order they were made you will hate me before you reach the third and never get around to it.

This is the order I recommend watching them:

Get Cracking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiBTuPtPrWo

        If you somehow manage to refrain from judgment until the end of the third, I am sure you will understand that I didn’t actively seek to start a row with prog rock.  I became concerned.  If you want to share them with someone, that’s fine.   I want a lot of peer review, but it’s hard to come by.  No comments necessary, any comments welcome.
        I had to go back to Pittsburgh to go to school, because Seattle Central banned me for this, but the Deans in Pittsburgh requested background and allowed me re-entry on the basis of this paper for them:  http://themepaper.webs.com

Best to you,Mac

This is the order they were made:

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
