Hello Blogosphere,
I have just entered this arena for the first time. I recently completed Hugh Hewitt's book, "BLOG Understanding the information reformation that's changing your world", and I must say that it was a great read for me. While reading, I introduced myself to many of the top blogger sites. ie Instapundit, Andrew Sullivan, Hugh Hewitt etc. I was most fascinated by such a vast world that existed with-in my reach and had never realized it.

I am just an ordinary fellow that have thought for years that MSM was way too left of where most Americans were. I discussed it mainly in family forums, my Sunday school class and among a few friends. When Fox News came along, I really could hardly believe what I was hearing. It truly was a breath of fresh air. I told everyone to tune into Fox. It quickly became the news of choice around my house. Even to the point of irritating my wife and kids a little. When I am coaxing the remote from one of my children that has been watching the tube they will sarcastically turn the channel to Fox News and walk away. Well, at least they know what channel its on.

The first time I heard the term "blogger" and realized it, it was during the Kerry/Bush election campaign. I didn't pay it much attention, I just remember wondering briefly what it was.
Then again during the Rathergate deal. (one of the most gratifying events I have witnessed in my life). Then I begin to really wonder what this "blog" thing was all about. Then I ran across Hugh's book. Now I'm here.

Thanks to all of you skilled bloggers that have contributed to a world of news and information that this nation and its people like me have starved for for years. It has been there all the time, its just that no one allowed it to be distributed. Thanks again.
