blunderblogger inaugural post
I am required in my Not-for-Profit Management course to create a blog about blogging and post to it weekly. Before today I had no idea what a blog really was, at least not in any technological sense of the word. So, where to go... the Internet of course. Do you have any idea how many hits there are for one little word,"blog"? This blog is meant to inform my peers and provide stimulating conversations in class and on the blog site about this chosen topic. That being said, here are a couple of interesting morsels I learned during today's search.

You would never be able to tell you're a brand new blogger! Interesting blog facts!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the facts. I didn't know there was a blog day.
ReplyDeleteGreat Blog!! I guess we both have a lot to learn.
ReplyDeleteBlogging seems to have become a bit of an epidemic! I would be interested to learn more about how one may efficiently navigate all of that blog-related information.
ReplyDeleteA) Very nice first blog/ blog post.
ReplyDeleteB)I find the blog world a little overwhelming. There are so many blogs out there (as you said, 156 million +!!) all commenting on a wide variety of things. Some intelligent and interesting, and some that report, on occasion, with little factual accuracy. I look forward to hearing about your journey into the blog world (and on learning more blogging fun facts!)
