I Go By Dennis

My name is Richard. I go by Dennis which is my middle name. My cruel parents chose to call me by my middle name so that all of my life I would have to interrupt my new teachers to say, "Richard's my first name, but I go by Dennis." We did the same thing to my son. Anyway, I have been blogging sporadically for a year or so and I want to take it more seriously now. I love to write and if possible, I would like to discover an avenue to generate income from my writing. That's why I am taking this course now; to learn as much as I can about blogging and the opportunities with it.

My first bog

Hi there, New blogger here, I spent the majority of my my life not needing to deal with computers, but there's no escaping the technical evolution. I wound up having to about fifteen years ago in my trade. I'll have to admit it made my life easier. I could stay more informed about the products and services I provided. I was able to keep in contact with more clients and vendors. I was able to do more in less time. I read blogs all the time and I have even quoted,copied and pasted,but I have never written a blog until now,unless you count commits on social sites.

Sincerely, New blogger.

SAHM looking to start some extra revenue.

Hey! Is it weird that when I'm reading a blog and people don't start with a hello, it kind of throws me off balance. I mean, aren't most blogs meant to be written as if you were talking to someone, or many someones if your lucky? anyways, I had a blog...many moons ago. Okay, not really many moons ago, I'm only 22...but awhile ago. When live journal was around and I thought there was no one in the world that understood what I was going through, except people that lived millions of miles away from me, that i would never meet in real life :) Ohh, things were so easy then! Anyways, I'm a 22 year old SAHM (stay at home mom) I have a 2 year old amazing little boy who is the light of my world. I am pregnant due with number 2 in December and plan to be clinically insane by January 1st! just kidding!, sort of. I am married to an amazing man, who just so happens to be my hero :) He is in the United States Army 11 Bravo (& yes thats what he CHOSE not what he was "stuck" with) He is set to deploy in September and I am pretty sure the next year is going to be the hardest year of my life. It's going to be hard being a single parent again and it's going to be especially hard having my best friend gone not to mention in such a scary place. I am hoping a blog, along with a naughty two year old and soon a happy newborn will keep my busy enough to stay sane until my husband returns. I am also hoping to earn some free stuff :D Host giveaways, pass on some reviews, you know the normal bloggy stuff :D :D

Born-again Blogger

Greetings!

This is not my first blog post, but it is my first as a blogging student - hence my "born-again" status ;) I first began blogging almost a decade ago on a friend's blog. I was the only female posting on the site full of monkey men. It was a lot of fun. As time went on, my posts got better and better and they attracted more viewings and more comments. I was even pretty controversial. My head swelled and I thought, "I should have my own blog, people are chomping at the bit to read what I have to say." So, I started the first of two blogs. Both failed miserably. My first didn't attract one reader not even a spammed comment. In the second, I essentially strong-armed some friends and family to become followers and although they complied, only a couple actually read a post and commented out of sheer pity. It was very discouraging. I tried to go back to my friend's blog but I'd evolved as a person since posting on that site so its contents didn't hold the same interest to me and I didn't have the same appeal. I believed my blogging days to be over.

That said, I haven't been able to get blogging out of my mind! I moonlighted, very briefly, as a ghost-blogger but it felt so horribly wrong I quickly resigned. No, if I was to blog it was going to be my own blog, on my terms, posting what interested me in my personality and style. Which got me thinking, surely there's something out there that'll help me to become a better, more successful blogger. And that brings us to now...

See you in the blogosphere!

New to this

I am a very opinionated individual who used to write a lot when I was young. Due to work and life creeping up on me I got away from writing regularly. Recently I find myself unemployed and doing a lot of research on the Internet regarding career choices. I find myself in the fortunate situation of being able to change my career path and so I have been searching different articles on news media sights to find a way to get my opinions out there and write more in a forum I am currently unfamiliar with. I do not use any social media sights because I have never been a fan of sharing idle information pertaining to what you had for dinner or what you will wear to work tomorrow. That being said and life being what it is (ironic) I find myself very interested in what some people have to say. I have found that there are an abundance of intelligent people out there, the trick it seems is finding and communicating with them in this world of on-line social media, never really knowing anyone, pour your heart out anonymously writers forum.

My Favorite Hobby

Golf is my favorite hobby.

I've been playing golf since I was 9 years old.

I love golf because it leads you to meet so many new people.
