Attack of The BLOG!!!!!!!

Wow... just when I think I'm tech savvy for having finally programmed my universal TV remote, here came the blog.

"Eek... what is it?!," you might say. Me,too.

Well in layman's term, blog is short for web log. Basically, A blog is a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.” So,it is not as scary as we thought but it still looks a little funny.

As I thought about it more I began to wonder... where did the blog come from and why has it become such a integral part of communication these days? This short video should help.




Still feeling a little skeptical, I immersed myself in tips trying to find the best approach to tackling the blog beast and writing a post of my very own. (That's right folks, I'm first-timer and lucky for you, these things have spell check.)

Here are a few tips I found but didn't follow:
1. Write on a subject that you are knowledgeable in and are good at.
2. Try to be consistent with the length and regularity of your blogs so your audience has some idea of when to visit and what to expect.
3. Think about your writing style, be informative and polite.
4. Let your blog reflect your personality. Give your opinions with respect and be honest.
5. Remember to copy your new content to the clipboard before you post. If something goes wrong, you can just paste and try again.

Hopefully, like me, you can now find the courage to begin blogging on your own. As a matter of fact, I invite you...no, I challenge you to conquer the longing to be anonymous and find your voice here.

Please comment. I'll will post again next week.
