			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So it&#8217;s been a few years now that I&#8217;ve been in the business of helping webpreneurs with their online businesses&#8230; and one of the most prominent business tools I&#8217;ve seen are these blog-thingys. So it&#8217;s 2009 now and since I entered this year with a jaded attitude (I lost my mojo late 2008 &#8211; but we&#8217;ll talk about that in a different blog post) I thought &#8211; &#8220;What can I do to 1) get my mojo back and 2) reposition myself in this industry&#8221; it came to me! Why not do for myself what I see my clients doing?!?! And now here I am with my newfangled blog &#8211; and I don&#8217;t know what in the heck I am doing here!</p>
<p>I can set it up. I can pretty-fi it. (Yes, pretty-fi. I make up words. It&#8217;s ok) I can promote it and SEO the heck out of it &#8212; but writing? Where do you begin????</p>
<p>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&#8230; if they don&#8217;t, they don&#8217;t. It&#8217;s a nice change of pace for me, since I see the look on my husbands face when I talk sometimes. That look of &#8220;I soooo don&#8217;t care&#8221;.  So now I have a new outlet and I&#8217;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?</p>
<p>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&#8230; but here in the blog world, I can&#8217;t see you running so it doesn&#8217;t make me feel so crazy.</p>
<p>So for those of you who didn&#8217;t slowly back away and then start running out of the room &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>Until next time&#8230;</p>
