Hello my lovely readers!  Have I mentioned how much I appreciate you recently?  Well let me take a minute to say thank you for being here.  I really do appreciate it.  I am just starting my fourth week as a blogger, but I am really liking it.  It is a fun way to connect – both with people to whom I am already close but don’t get to see everyday and with people who I have never met but come form all sorts of interesting places and backgrounds.

Today I am starting a 30-day Blogging101 course that is a part of WordPress’s Blogging U.  I will have daily assignments, but not all of them will be to publish posts.  The assignments that are published posts will be tagged Blogging101 and I will post them in my Foundations category.

Today’s Assignment: Write and publish a “who I am and why I’m here” post.

I have a confession to make.  I already did this assignment.  When I started my blog a few weeks ago I actually looked at the assignments for a past Blogging 101 course.  I knew that the next course wasn’t starting until January 5 and I was too impatient to wait.  So I figured I would just use the posted assignments from a previous course and get started right away.  Well, that lasted all of a week 🙂  But I did manage to get that first assignment done.  And it happens to be the first post on my blog.  Since it was only a few weeks ago, it is still pretty accurate.  You can check it out here if you missed it.

As always, thank you for allowing me to share.  I hope you have a wonderful week!
