Newbie Blogger

Hello Bloggers, I am a New Blogger. I am excited about this opportunity to learn from each of you as well as share what I know. I enjoy adventure. Let the adventures begin! First, Do you believe that the guys that host the show Ghost Adventure are for real? I want to believe them but part of me has my doubt. What do you think?

Getting Started

Hello!

I am a young women interested in posting about my life on the web. It is that simple for me. I like most people my age started out with a messenger serves then Myspace then Facebook and this is just the next step in the progression of things. I decided that now is as good of time as ever. I am recently married and moved far way from home base. In still wanting to share thing with my friends and family back home but in a more personal way I came up with this as a better alternative to those social networking sites. I figured on it not being too difficult so diving in head first and getting things right the first time seemed to be a good idea. I learned very soon that when a site says simple and great for everyone they are most certainly not talking about someone who has little to no http knowledge. So, after purchasing a web server and theme for a site more than a month ago and having a empty web page to this day I came here for the knowledge I need to put me in the category that they speak of as everyone.

I am born!

I'm now retired and I want to pass on my political experiences during a long life.

Political activist andpolitical teacher are part of my history.

Blogging Journey

I have heard and read about blogs. I have even browsed a few blogs.

I have read expressions like"Wordpress" and "Blogger". I gained this acquaintance because of my interest in making money online.

But I have never put up a blog nor made a post in one. This is my first time of doing so. And am I excited! From now on, I will study blogging and blogging skills and techniques so that I can use blogs as a part of my communications mix for my internet marketing.

I'm relying on this course to get me started, support me all the way.

New At Blogging

For several years I've been hearing that blogging is the way to go when it comes to meeting, greeting and promoting anything. So after many people pushing me and wanting me to do this I am getting started. Now I must learn how to do this and what is the best way to do this. I have spent several hours on line looking for direction and welcome suggestions and recommendations from all of those who have gone before me on this journey. What would be the number 1 and 2 suggestions you have for someone just beginning? I am sure that this will be an adventure that will take me to places I never dreamed of before!

My blogging! Past, present,an future.. (No spell check, so sorry!)

I'm a forty year old single woman with alot of free time on my hands, I guess you can say that im a "Total blog virgin".
When it come's to blogging, I no nothing about it , the term's used, or how, when, & why, I would write one.
That is until 2 days ago.
While looking for a "work from home" job online, which is a total crock of stuff.
I came across a job opening for a "Blogger" (i dont even no if thats the correct term, but oh well.)
After reading the add, I thought, WOW! This is something I do everyday for the fun of it, when I write in my journal.
So, I looked up an online blogging coarse, and after weeding out all the fake site's and warding off the forcefully sadistic people trying to take over my computer, or sell me a bunch of stuff I don't need, I found myself here,& writing my first blog with in the first 24 hour's of finding it.
I am, by no means, saying or suggesting that it's a good blog, but, it's a blog either way!

Blogging 101

!Making a blog worthy of reading is something you can learn from Blogging 101!

I already have a blogger account but no one is reading it and it seems like I would have to pay to get real exposure. Just giving it to family and friends is not a real solution. I am frustrated with this because it's just like a personal journal and I want to share with the entire world. The other thing I do not get is that I have to find a "nitch" which is something I love to write about and can write about as an expert. It's the narrowing it down to ONE THING that I cannot seem to handle right now. My expert knowledge is in Cosmetology but I am no longer in that field of interest. I have moved on to the legal world as a Paralegal. It amazes me that attorneys nor the general public KNOW what the Paralegal is able to do! Yes, a legal secretary but more glorified and able to do everything but charge for services, represent clients in court, giving legal advice or accepting clients. Yes, paralegals perform the same functions as an attorney. They can recognize and evaluate relevant facts and legal concepts, organize, analyze, communicate, and administer; resolve conflicts, negotiate, and relate well with various types of persons, often when these persons are in distress.

Hello fellow classmates. Just signed up for the Blogging 101 course and am working my way through the free course. What do I know about blogging? Well, I read blogs daily, sometimes intentional, sometimes not. And I even have a starter blog on blogger.com, but here's the sad story: I never finished the dang first post! (writer's block...) So that's about what I know. Am looking forward to learning more.

Coaching vs. Coach able

As a "newbie" it dawned on me how much 'I don't know what I don't know', yet! Therefore as I begin, I am aware that the only way I can actually learn, absorb and apply these NEW tools and lessons is by reading, doing & following the experts in their step by step process. The teaching some agree, I'm NOT alien to. I do-do a lot (most of which IT likely is) in my professional, training & recreational life, except for there 'I' am usually the teacher or the 'Coach'. I've also realized in this exercise how much 'a-must' it is for ME to be 'coach able' and willing to learn. THAT is a challenge for me & most. I am now A Kohai (translates as "eager student"), a term used frequently in the Dojo or a classroom for Martial Arts where I spend a great deal of time. Thus, my title. My Goal IS, I suppose is; to make a difference in mine & others lives by expressing myself through this Blog and what it is like for me to learn how to write & participate in a maybe a not so NEW but for me, still a kind of abstract Viral Medium which, we ALL are seeing and hearing grow at an eXponential rate! So, please join me as I take my first steps, as a White-Belt if you will, on journey & experience I hope shall take us wonderfully fulfilling, hopefully humorous and maybe even exciting places...

New to Blogging

I am BRAND new to blogging, hence I am even taking the free blogging pre-course. So far so good, everything is running smoothly. I'm just not sure what exactly I am going to Blog about yet. hmmmmmm.

Here goes nothing

Previous experience with blogging - none. Like to read them - always wonder what I could write about. Can I even write? Why would anyone be interested in what I have to say? Well, I am hoping this course will release my inner blogger. We will see!

Be Well

I am starting a blog with a true story line about illness and recovery but also exploring questions and musings about becoming an acheiver, a hero. Lots of film references, quotes and wordplay.

What Do I Really Know About BLOGGING ?

We all know at least that blogging is a message left on a web page. However it is much more than that it is a way for people to communicate and share information with each other.

A Wannabe Writers Dream ~ Blogging!

Here I am, a want to be writer in my 'early' senior years with the world of blogging enticing me like a candy shop tempting a small child. Wow, I can hardly believe it! I can write to my hearts content about the subjects I love to write about and not have to think about newspaper or magazine submissions, editors or even my lack of formal training in writing. Thanks to blogging, I can write what is in my heart, click the 'post' button and feel as if I have truly accomplished something.

Yes, I know what you are thinking. Just because I have written something 'from my heart' and hit the 'post' button doesn't mean anyone except me has, or will read it. This is precisely the reason I wish to take a course in blogging. Hopefully I will learn how to create an interesting blog that will draw a few curious folks in to visit. However, even if no one else except me ever reads one of my stories or inspirational pieces, I will continue to find satisfaction in writing them because writing what is in my heart brings healing to my soul. And, God willing, maybe someone else will stumble across something I have written and find a small bit of healing, as well.

Starting from here

This is where it starts. Just like a child taking his first step. I wade into the kingdom of blog.
I know nothing about blogging. I've been told for years that I should try it, but had decided it wasn't a neccesity. Life is busy without piling on more. I'm no guru of technical or technicality. I like to spend time with my family. I'm a private person. Why would I want to blog? The phone was always handy if I wanted to say something to someone.
So why do I want to learn to blog now? Life and times change. I still keep busy with my family, and I still don't like to talk about myself much. However, there comes a time for change. I'm starting a new career, and am anxious to see where it leads. Blogging would be a plus, and, it never hurts to learn something new.

My first blog

I am interestedin knowing how to do a blog. It seems like a fun way to stay in touch.
