Blogging 101 - Part Duex (2)

If you want to create a blog, whether for business or for pleasure, here are some tips that should help you get through the concept design process for your blog easier.  Think through the following items first and it just might be the inspiration you need to create an interesting, successful, well-read and commented-on blog.
1. What is Your Passion?

The Power of Our Community Online

After hearing me rant and rave about the virgin territory still on the internet, my lady friends asked me to share my knowledge so that we could all benefit.  I think its a brilliant idea - teach myself and other mommy’s how to create abundance using the computer and the internet as a tool.  So that is what I am setting out to do. 

Beyond the independent web site reaching out for reciprocal links, we’re going to build a conscious, sustainable, profitable, fun, creative, joyful, loving community in cyberspace.  My hope is that the online community will serve as inspiration to the offline community, and vice versa.

“We’ve got the Power!”

 Ahem.

As I was saying before I got distracted by nostalgia, Myspace has been definitely served a positive purpose in my life.  I must, however, caution to all newcomers - Myspace can be dangerously addictive.  So keep your wits about you and watch your time in there.  Then again, some people have reached massive success by working it in Myspace.  Like “Forbidden” aka Christine Dolce - self made star catapulted her career via Myspace ( www.myspace.com/forbidden ).  (more…)

Zen and the Art of Blogging

Blogging 101 – Part 1

Everyone knows that Blogs are all the rage these days. (For those of you who aren’t privy yet – “blog” is short for “web log” also known as online journal.
