Just Getting Started..

I have had this blog account open since the days when I used to check my myspace account. My brilliant idea was for their backgrounds to match. I haven't written anything because I am not that interesting and couldn't think of anything to blog about.

Thank goodness Jeremy D. Miller convinced me to blog when I simply typed into google "Should I blog?"

Some of his reasons to support the answer yes are:

• You publish something that helps somebody. You've used a lot of tutorials, newsgroups, and other people's posts in your career. Think of your blog as a way to pay it forward.
• By writing out your position on anything, you'll be forced to crystallize your thoughts on a subject. I very frequently use my blog as a way to "pre-can" arguments and explanations for later. I've used my blogging material in consulting roles. I think that the simple act of expressing yourself is a good way to learn. What do you think about a subject, and why? Can you defend that statement?
• It's a way to practice communication
• You'll get noticed in a positive way and turn it into professional gain. Arguably, writing a blog is the best thing I've ever done for my career.
• It'll be funny to go back over old posts and see how your ideas have change

He clearly put a lot of thought into this ... I probably won't even put this much thought into anything I post, but he convinced me!

I am not quite sure what the the purpose of this blog is ... what am I trying to teach but we will see
