well, here it goes
My mother was an English teacher in her earlier teaching days. She taught both English as a second language as well as English grammar and writing to high school students (yes, I know, very brave of her). This is, perhaps, the reason why it has taken me soooo long to jump on the bandwagon and start a blog. After all, I am quite the technical oriented mind so issues such as spelling, grammar, and run-on sentences all too often fall behind in importance to things like mathematical calculations, properly written computer code, and, dare I say, emoticons
. Therefore, the ability to make my English teaching mother proud in my writing may be called into question in this blog.
So, a warning: Don’t expect Shakesperian perfection from my writing.
I chose to start a blog for a number of reasons. In fact, it was entirely hypocritical for me to NOT start a blog. After all, I encourage every one of my clients to maintain a blog on their websites in order to increase search engine optimization, maintain a loyal following in their clientele, and peak their own interest in their website.
So, what CAN you expect from this blog? My aim is to impart some knowledge on the reader of this blog with some of the things I’ve learned over the past 10 years of dealing with computers and websites and over the past 31 years of dealing with life in general. This will not be a heavily technical blog as I would, most likely, put everyone to sleep. But you can expect some tips, tricks, pointers, and marketing ideas as it relates to your business, your websites, and your everyday life (if I may be so bold).
What am I looking for from you, the reader? For me to claim that everything I will write here is as if it had come straight from the mouth of God would be totally egotistical. If you don’t agree with something I say or write, please let us know in the comments. If you agree, let us know in the comments. If you can extrapolate further on something, let the world know in the comments. You see, all too often bloggers have the “center-of-the-universe” syndrome and feel they are imparting nothing but truth and wisdom to their readers. I feel a blog’s role is to simply spur on debate.
So, Welcome and there will be much more to come.
