I've enjoyed reading since I first learned to read.
When I read I learn so much.

First time for everything

Hi, All
This is my first time to post to a blog. By profession, I'm an advertising copywriter. I work over the internet from my home in the mountains of western North Carolina. I'm preparing to move to Costa Rica and I want to create a blog about my adventures, or misadventures. I hope lots of people will be interested in reading single woman boomer retirement. I will also cover the booming cosmetic surgery and reconstructive dental markets. And whatever else I discover.

blogging: to do or not to do

Facebook, blogging...what should I do?
As far as facebook is concerned, after many invites for getting on the bandwagon, I've tried to debate myself out of it. The thing is I still can't see a meaningful benefit of this kind of "social networking". Many people have turned it into a tool for self-projection. Then with an apparent competition on having the largest network, facebookers have aquired a long list of superficial friendships. And lastly, I can't overlook the complete loss of privacy on facebook: What should be private has become a public affair, for others to see and comment on. So, I don't know really if its such a good idea, in spite of the fact that I know it's so popular that I can become unpopular by just commenting against it!
Now with blogging, there seems to be more room for sensible, useful interaction. And that's what has lead me here, hoping that after exploring it through this course, I can convince myself of making good use of this oppurtunity to connect with people. And btw my name is Hadeed.

Bloggease!

Hi, I am new to the world of blogging, about two weeks into this and I thought I'd find a resource to gain perspective on what blogging is and what it is used for because I want to utilize it as a service to people in my company! Now, the fun part will be finding topics that will interest people so that they get good feedback. Afterall that is what blogging is all about right!
