I Talk Too Much- 500 Blogs

By
Real Estate Agent with Donna Homes, powered by JPAR - TexasRealEstateMediationServices.com 0480809

I can't believe it, but it's true... I've posted 500 blogs!  This makes 501!  When I first started blogging, I didn't quite know what to say.  I knew I had a lot to say, but wasn't sure others cared about what I had to say, so I stuck to only factual, business related topics.

As I got more comfortable with blogging and read more and more blogs by other people, I realized blogging can be anything you want it to be.  The word BLOG comes from the words "Web Log" and when you're logging things on the web, it's just another fancy word for Diary.

I look at blogging as a way to make my Diary open for everyone to view, without the most personal stuff of course!

I've blogged about real estate, I blogged while I was pregnant, I blogged while in the hospital after my water broke, I've blogged about buyers, about sellers, about my husband... nothing is really off limits when it comes to blogging, and I like that!

If you're new to blogging, and you're wondering how you're ever going to get content to blog about, don't worry about it. Things will just start flowing off your fingertips, and you'll be well on your way in no time at all.

Wow!!  500 blogs (well, 501).  You certainly have a lot to say.  But don't worry... someone is listening (reading).  Have a great day!

Donna,

Maybe it's not that you enjoy talking, but rather you enjoy the feedback. It makes me feel good to see lots of comments on my blog. I'm being listened to.

Hi Donna,

I'm following my own advice and getting more active online.  So I decided to Pop By and say hello.

Claudia!  Hey!  How are things?  Basecamp going well?  I would love to hear all about it. And you definitely need to get your blog going.  I noticed the AgentCEO on my subscription list last week and was wondering if you were going to come back.

Congrats on 500 blog entries! You've been a busy girl with lots to say. I have to agree... when you start it is hard to find what to say but if you just start it becomes more and more comfy as you work the words. :0)

Lindsey, Thank you, and lots more to say!!

Leigh, Thanks, and it's not scary as I feel I know so many people and I say "my friend" in such and such area.  I have "friends" all over the country.

Teresa, I don't completely blog about hubby, but I've related some of his golf habit to real estate, and then this move to Austin that might happen is because of him.  He doesn't know... shhh

Joseph, Yes, yes I do. I can talk all day!

Christopher and Stephanie, I know what you mean as sometimes I'm just writing to rant, but others still comment as they relate.
