This is the first post.

...and that's about all I should say, don't you think?

I mean, the chances of someone actually reading a blog's first post must be pretty low so why bother even writing it? Sure, without a first there can't be a second etc. but the opening effort does little more than test the equipment.

It's hardly the place to put one's best work.

For starters, nobody but me and the cat know of theunderwhelmingblog's underwhelming launch so the reader count is sure to be vanishingly small.

By the time my first reader subscribes by mistake, after misspelling theunderwearblog, I'll have a laundry list of posts and this one will be buried so deep it'll have begun its metamorphosis into brown coal.

Nope. I'm not going to write anything here, I'll save the pixels for something that might actually get read.
