I hadn’t intended starting this blog quite yet. I’m still in the early stages of the newbie’s learning curve and feeling way over my head. I have been working to get up to speed. Blogging For Dummies has been read, marked up with a yellow highlighter, and tossed on a shelf (I even understood some of it, but not much). There is a stack of screen prints that has been duly sorted, punched, and placed in a cheap purple notebook. I’m about to start reading through those again.
The plan was to take as much time as needed to become proficient at all the skills needed to put a credible blog on the net. Then Aretha Franklin died. I can’t explain it, but I was a fan, and had been for a long, long time. It made me stop and think about the finiteness of life, how things change as time goes by. Each day is one less that we have. So, maybe I will learn as I go.
I can assure you there will be bumps. I apologize for those in advance. Bear with me. Offer advice and coaching. I’m open to any advice on how to keep things safe, relevant, useful, and interesting; how to control spam; how to stay current on comments; and how to make sure it all stays honest.
Thank you for spending your time with me. I know life is hectic and you have to pick and choose what’s worth your time.
