Test Blog for Course

I started a blog at http://fitzfocus.wordpress.com  about a week ago.  While I get great feedback, I feel it is limited.  I have linked it to Facebook successfully but still feel it can get better numbers as far as readership. 

Primarily I write in the Humor section but have realized that the blogs can seep into other sections and therefore adjusted the settings so that other genres can see the blog.  I am hoping this course eliminates or at least limits more trial and error.

What blogging is to me:

Blogging to me is a way to make a little extra money,a way to voice my opinion,to speak to new customers and old one alike. I'm a worn out carpenter that has had a fulfilling 30 year career and still love to dabble in my trade, blogging is a way to stay in touch with new ways of doing thing and researching things I have not yet had the opportunity to experiences. I hope to master this new skill so that I can share my experiences with others.

What do I know about blogging?

Most people would be somewhat surprised at my answer when they learn about my education, professional career and experience. I am almost retired, i.e. I have officially retired but still work part time. In 2004 I retired after 38 years as an aerospace accountant which means I made the change in the '80s from mostly manual accounting process to personal computers (386, 486). I was there when Microsoft came out with Windows and Excel replaced Lotus 1-2-3.

Jumping to current time, 2012, I have no experience in blogging, have never made a post, have read a few blogs but have not had a clear understanding what a blog is and how it is used. Are you surprised? For a person with my education and experience with one of the largest government contractors in the aerospace industry strangely my path never crossed with the development and growth of blogging.

Without bragging, I have been told by a number of my managers that I have good writing skills and I do in fact enjoy writing. Now that I am pursuing having my own website and blog, I am looking forward to using my writing skills and reaching my goal of mastering how to blog successfully.

A Canadian in CR

My name is A. I am a Canadian currently living and working in Costa Rica. I've never before blogged but always been very intrigued. Now that life has taken a bit more exciting turn from the endless day-in, day-out repetition of home, I'm hoping maybe I can share some useful and worthwhile knowledge with my readers!

I've traveled extensively throughout North America, South America, Africa and Europe with a very wonderful and long visit to Thailand when I was younger. I always knew I wouldn't spend all my time in Canada. It's an amazing country, I miss it immensely and do plan to return eventually but for now, Costa Rica is so beautiful, I have found my home. I fell for Costa Rica the moment I landed in San Jose. I'd been so many places, I knew just by the way I felt that something was very special about this place! I instantly started daydreaming in the cab on the way to my hotel about all the wonderful things I could do in such a beautiful country. "I can start a B&B, or open a crepe shop. Ooooooo, I could start a B&B behind my crepe shop!" My mind was set and well, falling in love with a local helped make it a reality very soon after!

Now that I have been living in Costa Rica for over 6 months and have really started growing my roots, I find it a pity to not share all my new knowledge. I am currently working for a tour company, getting to enjoy each and everyone of their tours for free. Plus, I help them with sales, so often times they send me to other tour companies or hotels for which they sell as well, to ensure their products are as they should be. I've enjoyed so many wonderful new adventures and little known activities or areas here and in surrounding countries, I want to be sure to give others the chance to enjoy just as much as I have. Cause really, how many will be fortunate enough to find the love of their life to show them all this ;)

Currently I am working at a local tour company as mentioned, soon to be working at a local hotel as a receptionist. This is all really just so I can gain the experience to become a receptionist on a cruise ship so I can blog about even more destinations and share even more new knowledge with my readers! I hope you'll all enjoy and stay tuned!

Cheers!

What do you do when your whole world changes?

My friends call me Spyder.  I am new to blogging, but I have an opportunity to blog for a friend.  I was laid off at the end of March 2012 after working for a company for 28 years.  I know, I'm not the only one that's gotten a call out of the blue saying "you can go home now". So I did.  I grabbed pictures of my children and walked out the door. Left what I working on on my desk and didn't even finished the work.Not getting my work done is a first for me.
