In trying to think about blog topics lately, I’ve kind of gotten a bit itchy. If a lot of people were writing how-to posts before I started my engagement series, even more people are writing them now. And besides, now that I’ve been in the online world for a bit, I am acutely, nay, keenly aware that what works for 1 person may not necessarily for you or you or you. So what can I write about?
Well, I am embarking on a big experiment, and I hope you will help me out. Instead of me just spouting out “This is how to do this,” I thought it would be neat for us to actually converse. You know, I frame out a topic and offer my advice, and then you add to that advice or ask additional questions.
That’s right – I am not framing myself as an expert. I’m just framing my blog as a place to talk about stuff. Think of it like the cafeteria or the student center.
These are the topics I was thinking of but this schedule can be changed as new questions come up. Ready?
