Google Wave

I'm never on top of the latest trends.  I still don't have a DVR and, yes, I don't have an iPhone <GASP!>!  Yes, it's true.  I bought Vinyl records until 1990.  I just started blogging in 2008. I've never been ahead of the curve.

But, I am excited to check out the new Google Wave.  Maybe I'll be ahead of the curve on this one.

Blogging for Fun & Profit

I just happened upon this really cool blog site that tells me so much about blogging.  It's called Blogging For Fun & Profit. 

I have a lot to learn, but I highly recommend this site. For example, I just read an article called Blogging 105.  I learned already 10 new tools I can use to promote my blog site. Very cool!  Check it out!

Widgets 101

I just read a great article from the elance blog that teaches you everything you need to know about widgets - especially for small business!  I can't wait to start using them for Go Global and the new blog Krissy and I will be starting in a few short weeks!!

Blogging & Watercooler Wednesday

Hello Everybody - it's late Tuesday / early on Wednesday morning and I just can't stop messing with my blog.  It's Ethos' Watercooler Wednesday.  This is my second Watercooler post.  The cooler is fun because you get to read what others are writing about. 

Ever since I took the Lifework 2.0 class with Randy Elrod and Spence Smith a few weeks ago, I've been nuts about blogging.  I have so much yet to learn, but I'm enjoying the process.  I encourage you to attend a future Lifework 2.0 class or any reputable class about blogging. 

I've become convinced even in this short time that everyone should blog.  If you are a leader in any capacity at all, you should blog about what, why, who, where and how you lead.  If you are a business owner, blog about your expertise.  If you have a passion for something, write about it.  If you have family far away and want to keep them informed, write about it.  Randy Elrod has a wonderful Top 10 List on why you should blog. 

If you want to learn more about Blogging Basics, check out Blogging Basics 101.  I found it very useful! 

A few weeks ago, I heard God clearly say to me "write".  That's when I started pursuing blogging and journaling.  It's been a wonderful journey so far.   I look to you...fellow bloggers...to continue sharing advice and tips on how to blog better.  Thanks for being on this journey with me!
