This is my Blogging 101 Presentation that I use during my training. Training blurb: Come learn how to setup your own personal blog. A blog can be used in many ways personally (1) It is a great way for friends and family to follow your adventures! and (2) It can also be used as your own personal web presence (website) where you store your resume and write up your work experiences. Participants will be shown a variety of examples and can get started with their own blog!

11. So why the clotheslines?
“Blogging is like hanging yourself out to dry. It
is taking all your thoughts and ideas and
putting them out there for the world to see. It
is wringing yourself out – and seeing what you
find. It is challenging, frustrating, and totally
rewarding all at the same time.”
