Default Oh, what the heck: here's my latest blog!

It's called The Dumbest Thing I Ever Did, and it's an ongoing collection of stories about ineptitude.

There's also a nascent Facebook and Twitter page for it.

I chose a Wordpress.com account on purpose this time, because in the past I've let myself obsess about monetization, which has held me back and led to overthinking. By using a platform where you can't even run Adsense (which would be a terrible fit anyway), I'm forcing myself to just write.

I would, however, like to reach lots of people with the site, and even get some guest posts. Other than purchasing an actual URL, which I'll get to here soon, what changes would you make to this blog? Is there anything just flat-out unappealing about it that you can see? Am I just screwing up royally?

Thanks in advance.

Killer idea, I would get a domain with the .com if I was you and would start
this site with your own hosting ASAP. Then at some point start charging
people to post the dumbest things they have done on your site. This is
what I truly think by the way. As soon as I saw the site, I wanted to write
about a million of the dumbest things I have done

Love the idea...I would love it more in a "post a secret" format. So keeping it a bit more short and sweet, especially for those that are guest posting. I could imagine a lot of people would love to contribute to this, but in short quotes. I know I would probably contribute, if it could be short and sweet.
