Here’s me, jumping in…

So it’s been a few years now that I’ve been in the business of helping webpreneurs with their online businesses… and one of the most prominent business tools I’ve seen are these blog-thingys. So it’s 2009 now and since I entered this year with a jaded attitude (I lost my mojo late 2008 – but we’ll talk about that in a different blog post) I thought – “What can I do to 1) get my mojo back and 2) reposition myself in this industry” it came to me! Why not do for myself what I see my clients doing?!?! And now here I am with my newfangled blog – and I don’t know what in the heck I am doing here!

I can set it up. I can pretty-fi it. (Yes, pretty-fi. I make up words. It’s ok) I can promote it and SEO the heck out of it — but writing? Where do you begin????

So I investigated blogs. Which was cool, because I discovered that you can pretty much talk about anything you want and if someone wants to listen, they can… if they don’t, they don’t. It’s a nice change of pace for me, since I see the look on my husbands face when I talk sometimes. That look of “I soooo don’t care”.  So now I have a new outlet and I’m guessing my marriage will benefit from this. But what I could not find in all those blogs was how to START. What do you say in your first, your second, even your fifth blog post? If I walked up to someone new on the street and just started rambling about graphic design they would probably think I was crazy and slowly back away, then take off running, right?

After agonizing for a few days over how to start, I decided to just make my first few posts just ramblings about my leap into the blog world. Albeit I may be running the risk of people slowly backing away from the computer, then taking off and running out of the room… but here in the blog world, I can’t see you running so it doesn’t make me feel so crazy.

So for those of you who didn’t slowly back away and then start running out of the room – Welcome! Welcome to me rambling about web design, graphic design, photography and a whole bunch of other stuff that makes me tick. I hope in the posts to come that I can provide you with stuff you need; tips, tricks, tools, etc.. I will make a point to include useful stuff amoung my crazy, sometimes snarky ramblings.

Until next time…
