Getting Hooked

I'm starting to catch onto this blogging thing, and honestly, I'm getting hooked.

Prior to taking the Intro to Public Relations course at the University of Oregon, I had never really heard of blogging or social media. Sure, I've seen a few Live Journals over the years but never realized how powerful blogging had become.

It was Christmas day. Presents had already been opened, dinner wasn't until 4pm, and I was bored. I tried just surfing the web, but I couldn't find anything of interest. Then I remembered my PR professor, Kelli Matthews, had started a blog called PRos in Training. I thought to myself, "I might as well check it out."

That was the end of me. I couldn't stop there. I started searching and found Church Marketing Sucks, Swerve, Spare Change and the list goes on.

I've been reading, and reading, and reading. I love this stuff.

But now the time has come to start my own blog. I'm officially hooked.

Am I ready? Probably not. Do I have much choice? No. Am I excited? Actually, yes.

So here it goes...

Enjoy the ride.
