1st Post

Test post.... 1st ever for me.

Blog Baby

I call myself Blog Baby because I am new to blogging. What I know about blogging can fit on top of a pin head. I've stopped by several blogs but never understood what went on behind the scenes of blogging. I often felt blogging was an interesting concept and thought maybe one day I might try it once if I could get over the fear of being exposed and vulnerable in front of possibly thousands of people. I admire people who get out there and blog until their heart's content and unleash their opinions out into the world. I call that courage and freedom. Kudos to all of the brave bloggers of the world. You are my everyday heroes.

Blogging and me!

I have blogged before. This is the first time I have taken it seriously enough to take a course to blog effectively. I want to create interesting blogs that introduce my thoughts and opinions to others, while also gaining new perspectives.

Presenting me

I am a mild-mannered, nondescript, middle-aged person of average intelligence and no particular distinction. I am of average height and build and therefore of average weight. I prefer not to express emotion, particularly in a public place like this where the world can see me but I do not know anyone. Even if it is completely anonymous. Rather than risk ridicule, I will end my comments right here.

My introduction

Hello,
This is my first blog and I'm excited! I am new to computers so I am trying to learn as much as possible. This is a new world! I'm looking forward to "meeting" all of you!

WYSIWYG Trial

My favorite hobby is playing guitar and singing for family & friends

I have enjoyed this hobby since I was 11 years old (many moons ago)

I enjoy this hobby because I can express emotion and entertain at the same time

Here's a link to a site about learning to play the guitar

This is a photo of me playing some songs for family during our Christmas celebrations

My introduction

I have over 30 years of experience as a CEO in manufacturing and alternative energy industries and have decided to begin a consulting practice. My 'tag-line' will be 'Bridging the Gaps' as I have extensive experience in bridging most of the gaps that a business will face in it's journey from new technology - R&D - Product Development - Manufacturing. I have touched in all business areas from developing and manufacturing products, development of strategic partnerships and raising funds.

I realize that communication will be paramount and will need to establish a web site and a presence through efforts such as blogs and newsletters. I have very little experience with this and am anxious to learn

First Blog From A Newbe

I've been an avid reader of blogs for many years now, but slow to adopt writing blogs as a way to share my ideas. There are many reasons for this, fear of writing, my comfort level with the old and familiar, and the learning curve needed to become proficient with the tools needed. But I've made the commitment to conquer my fears and venture outside my comfort zone with the goal of learning to create my own blog.

My first step was to Google "How to Blog", as you can imagine thousands of results popped up. After some exploring I found a great resource and started an online blog coarse offered for free from BlogWritingCourse. So far so good! I let you know goes.
