Get Blogging.......

Aloha Everyone,

I have been wanting to implement a blog for some time now but I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to say (blog). I just never really knew enough to feel confident about publishing my words. Well, now today I can say that I do feel much more confident, in knowing that as long as I keep a positive self-image of how I want others to perceive me, and to also be honest, straight forward, and with good intention I should be alright. So for anyone who thinks that it cannot be done, let me tell you that IT CAN!......

With my thoughts all over the subject, let me make a few suggestions that were quite helpful for myself with getting started...

1. Preparation is ultimately half the battle so before anything else know what you want to say, and say it.

2. Think of your blog as your own personal journal.

3. Express how you feel about something that is o important to you, or an idea you may have and want to share.

4. Write a short story and add pictures to help the reader grasp what the story is in referrence to.

5. Research your topic so you can have current or updated information to share with your readers. Dont forget to give credit to others if you have borrowed part of the post by addind links.

6. Write footnotes to remember important details about your article that you want to include. Footnotes will give you the accuracy element, and your article some character.

7. Be confident in yourself....you have gotten this far, now "Go All The Way."

8. With every entry you will start to become more familiar with your style and even develop a characteristic that most bloggers display (exclusively you)

9. It is a lesson in self discovery and personal development. And please remember to have fun with it!

10. Now your a blogger!

There are many websites and communities that you can become a member of and that will help you to seek out other like-minded bloggers like you.
This has been my: "Midlife Impression" for today!
