Blogging for Dummies

I've decided to take some of the pressure off our senior pastor, Lyndy and help with some of the blogging. Today, I will be making my first post. I'm not much of a blogger, sure I've read the occasional blog from time to time, posted a comment or two, but have never dived in.

The cinematic scene found in the occasional B movie, in which a preppy group of guys enters a biker-bar, only to be met with the sudden halt of all music and an onslaught of awkward and menacing stares is somewhat how I envision my entrance into this blog-o-sphere. Of course you would have to replace the hardcore bikers with hipters, food critics, and stay-at-home moms, but still, it’s all kind of intimidating. I mean, sure, I might come up with a clever status update or tweet from time to time that might receive a few likes, and maybe even an lol, but to write a whole blog that is actually interesting and relevant, I feel a little out of my league. But, here I am joining the over 150,000,000 bloggers, entering into the only untapped social media platform that I haven’t “tapped....” Blogging.

Luckily I've been given some useful tips form friends and collogues, on creating a relevant blog. Limit posts to 500 words, always include a picture, be consistent, blog at least once a month, share your posts on other social media platforms, and mistake I was destined to make, don’t post your sermons.

Any other tips for this rookie, I would love to hear them.

Well my first post is about to be in the books, or on the page, whatever seems more appropriate. 

As I enter into this new intimidating world of blogging, I’m excited, I’m excited to tell my story, but more importantly, I'm excited to tell God’s story.
