A friend who shall remain nameless describes his aversion to blogs in this way: “Why would I want to spend my time reading about someone else’s issues that should probably be kept to oneself to begin with.” I certainly know where she’s coming from. That said, I’m going to take the risk of blogging about blogging, or more specifically, about web kindness.

I spent a few hours tonight trying to setup my RSS Feed. After becoming quite frustrated, I posted a message on the wordpress message help board and within an hour, two users had walked my feeble web-based mind through the process step by step. (I’m helpless at this stuff because I know no html.)

I have never and shall never meet these kind help boarders. There was no good reason for them to help for they gained nothing for their troubles save my thanks. And yet, they offered their kind assistance nonetheless.

The web facilitates many horrible deeds, as Oles feel all too strongly at the moment. But when used for good, it can bring out the best in people as they show kindness to people with whom, without the web, they would never interact.

Ok, if, like me, you didn’t know a lick about RSS feeds. Check out this brilliant wee flick below.
