So Here Goes......My First Work Related Blog Post

I’m starting my blog here as a part of my coursework through Walden University. As I stated in my profile, I am not new to blogging. What is new to me is the fact that blogs and work can go hand in hand. As many other young professionals, I have a personal blog. I have made sure that most of this blog is only viewable to my designated friends, and not the whole world. I use my blog as a place to vent frustrations, a place to post funny news I have noticed, and a place to express myself and keep my friends updated on my life. Blogging is something that, in my mind, is something that needs to be kept completely separate from work. You hear the horror stories about “My cousin’s best friend’s neighbor got fired for stuff he put up on facebook!” Despite the fact that most of my brain thinks “How stupid was that guy? Why didn’t he just make his profile private?,” it still makes me worry. Because, well, you never know. This blog, however will be something new and exciting. It’ll be a place where I can post those ideas that bounce around in my head about possible future lesson plans, maybe get feedback from peers, new ideas, or a different way of looking at things. So, needless to say, I’m excited to get this thing under way. I hope it turns into something not only fun but useful as well!
