SHORT INTRO TO BLOGGING

A blog is an online diary or journal written by an author, about the author and/or the author’s interests. The great thing about a blogging is that there are no boundaries at all. You can be as creative as your heart desires! You can write about your career, relationships, car, or pet fish etc.

The important thing about this journey is that you write about something that you are passionate about. Different people have different interests and you’re no exception. Chances are good that others just like you are ready to delve into your material because they have similar tastes and interests. Don’t hesitate to write about something you’re passionate about - just do it and have lots of fun!
