Now for sure... U.B. Bloggin'.....

It's not just the name of our site, it's one of the newest, most important things we train folks on. Why? Because suddenly, blogging gives the average everyday person the ability to get what's important to them... out onto the net, just like everyone else. It's having your own webpage... with the easy ability to post new stuff all the time... and the ability to link to your friends... create your own blog network for impact. No special skills needed. No cash needed. Just enthusiasm. **smile**

And it's not 'what you know' as much as it is... 'WHO you know'. It's a relational bunch, these bloggers. And they help each other learn more and accomplish more.

Bottom Line: Blogging is a free & easy publishing/learning system which creates new networking opportunities and uniquely impacts the new culture in which we live!

"Blogging is not about a web-SITE; it's about a web-STRATEGY."

How to blog? Where to blog? We'll show folks that on Saturday mornings at 10am til noon -- so y'all come.

Here are some helpful tips for now:

• 'Blog' generally refers to the blog SITE... example: "U. B. Bloggin".
• The URL of a blog might be something like... http://UBbloggin.blogspot.com.
• A particular 'post' at a blogsite refers to a specific entry on a given day. Example: today's post..."Now for sure U.B. Bloggin' ".
• If there are 8 million blogs (as reported this month by the Pew Internet & American Life Project), then there are probably 8 million different ways to do a blog. So get crazy -- don't limit your thinking; there's no particular rules about blogging. Just know that anyone can see them, so don't slander anyone or embarrass your employer, etc. Bloggers have been fired already... hello courtroom!
• Blogger.com is a free & easy place to create your own blog. Don't get distracted by the fact that when you do use Blogger.com to create/edit your blog, your resulting blog will be located on their 'blogspot' server... so it'll have a name like http://UBbloggin.blogspot.com.
• Keep reading UBbloggin.blogspot.com regularly -- we'll continue posting helpful tips, such as... Hyperlinks... Picture Bloggin' ... RSS... Aggregators... How to add links, do html-coding & edit your template... etc.

And here's a great (Christian) site that will be very helpful to learn more...
