We’ve all been talking about it, dissecting it and pondering what it would feel like to take the leap away from static Web content and into the dynamic, chaotic, and sometimes downright scary world of blogs and today’s wild world of Web dialog. I know I’m looking forward to it. I think it’ll be fun. So, fasten those seatbelts and get ready for a new version of Mr. Toad’s wild ride.

Right here is where we begin, with my pretty-much-empty blog page. It looks rather naked and exposed at this point, don’t you agree?

But it’s lovely in its own way empty and full of potential. And that’s the beauty of the Web today. It’s full of exciting possibilities and connections undreamed of even just a few years ago. But back to the Harlan Editorial Blog: This is how blogs begin. Look around and you’ll find a blogroll full of friendly strangers, and one friend that I’ve added already as well.

Even on this very simple grid, I can see so many exciting ways to go! We’ve got places for archives, ways to add additional categories, tags, links, pages, and even a calendar. We’ll play with these as we go along. We’ll go in starts and stops and experiment for ourselves. So, take a screenshot today, and later we’ll compare; we’ll see how far we’ve gone in three months. And then we’ll ask the BIG question: Can a business exist on a blog alone?

Yours, Judith
