Joining the Blogging Craze

I think it would be appropriate to start off my first blog with a well known cliché.

Better late than never.

Millions of blogs exist on the web and that number is constantly increasing with a reported one blog being created every second. Currently, my blog is just a minuscule fish in this large, expanding ocean.

What sparked my interest in starting a blog?

My interest in poker started when I saw the WSOP (World Series of Poker) on ESPN, two years ago. Some friends of mine had watched it too. Consequently, we started playing poker every weekend. My love for poker has grown ever since then.

This past spring, I saw commercials for the WSOP on TV which made me anxious. Impatience overcame me, and I started looking for a way to find updates and/or the results online. Well, I Found it! About a month ago, I came across Dr. Pauly's blog where he was giving live updates from the WSOP every single day.

Dr. Pauly's blog was the first blog I have ever read. From that moment on, I started reading more and more blogs. Not only blogs on poker, but on a variety of topics. Apparently, I'm only one of millions according to this article from BBC News.

The blogging phenomenon has caught up to me.
