Getting started with the "BLOG"

Yes, I'm new to the blogging era. I thought I was doing so great because I got into Facebook (boy, did I get into Facebook!), created a Twitter page, and designed and put up my own Web site. Now, you have to realize that I'm a transcription and translation specialist. My niche is not that sort of high-tech Web presence specialist that is, quite frankly, where it's at now.

To my own defense, however, I do know my transcription software. I also know all about designing newsletters and putting together the most creative presentations out there (okay, I'm patting myself on the back). But as far as blogging goes, well, let's just say that I'm definitely at "Point A."

But with that said, blogging will not be my demise. I am going to learn it, get good at it, and own it. A few people have asked me, "What is your goal for 2011?" I do have many goals, most of which consist of moving my business forward. But number one on my list is to master the blogging concept and use it to my advantage.

And this is my very first blog, FYI. So please do take the time to comment. Add in your thoughts. Give me your most severe criticism. Wait -- was this a blog? Or was it just me babbling about my blogging issues -- or better yet, my lack of?
