Deign

The company I work for has recently published a bound edition of someone's blog.

Blogs have never really struck me as the medium of a undiscovered writer. I don't think it is unreasonable for someone without any ins in the business to try new things. But it's mainly used by weird people like me. People that have some weird itch to put their thoughts or their daily lives out to the public. A limited public, though.

Blogs seem like a weird little art project. You can obviously put in a ton of work. You could use correct grammar and spell check. You could learn some fancy CSS codes to make it look professional. Most of us are just gonna screw around with it and make stupid little posts about our stupid little lives.

So the idea of publishing a blog seems really odd to me. It's all online, for free, to read whenever you want. You could read it on your phone these days, if you are the kind of weirdo that reads blogs on their phone. Why not give a struggling writer/blogger a chance to write something completely new?

Eh, what the hell do I know? I just design the covers.
