Being on a journey of life, learning is key and am here to learn, so i will express myself then you are free to guide and teach me well.

I have had this itchiness of expressing myself in order to share with other people my personal view on everyday issues. I do but in small gatherings of less than 10 people during social gatherings, and the response will be great as i will also learn from the people around me.

This to me has been the only platform of knowledge exchange and it is quiet limited because these are friends and family, making hard for them to criticise me, i find blogging to be broader, which gives me an opportunity to grow myself, expand my point of view, get some real critics and create a wider knowledge exchange network that will be beneficial both to me and the people who will come across my blog.

Am interested in issues of everyday politics and governance, everyday issues people face, education, management, employee/employer relations and any other issues that will cause itchiness and requires that i scratch it out using a blog or two.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
