 Hey, you might be wondering who I am, so here’s a little bit about me. I am Yaslin Sanchez, a 6th grade scholar who loves poetry, piano, hanging out with friends, and volleyball. I’m what you can call a social butterfly. I like laws and mysteries. So when I grow up I want to be either a detective or a lawyer. Having my music skills will help a lot when becoming a detective. 

I love the idea of making this blog to connect with others and help those who need help with school, self confidence, and much more. I’m not perfect like you think, but I have my own ups and downs. If you want to change and be a better you, you can start now cause no one is going to stop you, “Step into your greatness before your story ends, so when your story ends they’ll say…”. Make things right before it’s too late. 

(A blog for anyone and for anyone that needs love and appreciation, YOUR AWESOME AND DON’T LET ANYONE SAY OTHERWISE)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
