Novice Blogger

I still consider myself as a novice in Blogging for three main reasons:
1. No Formal Training in I.T - I never had any computer subjects in college. I learned how to hands on the computer when I purchased my own desk top in 2005. I was reading a poem and I commented about her great work. She was a blogger who lives in Germany. Since I can't leave a comment without registering, I did create a blogger account. Because I do not understand about HTML, bandwidth and etc, I did not pursue my blogging activity on this platform at that time. The need to EARN forced me to LEARN few easy steps in blogging. And presently, I am still learning!

2. My English Professor in College said "I Can't Write"- Well, what happened was, I grew up without someone to guide, correct my grammar and etc. I was an average student and never had a failing mark too. In class, I was satisfied with a below 90 score well, I worked in the school library as a student. I was a scholar struggled to maintain a B grade which I did maintain up to 3rd year in College. I have an English Teacher who is a perfectionist and she speaks fluent English. She assigned us to pass a Term Paper and of course I complied. One day, she called me in her office and return my term paper. She then told me that she believed it's not my work! She said that the writer had minor grammar problems but, the term paper is written very good. She said she knew I can't write that well, for that (cheating) reason, she gave me a B- grade. Hehehe! I was thinking, should I tap my shoulder for the ghost writer in me? I laugh about it!

3. No Journalism Experience- As much as I wanted to write, I knew I lack the skills to be in a writer's guild group in college. A flat A grade in English is a tough one to get but, I got an easy A grade in Sociology and History subjects.

I can speak my mind through Blogging! People can scrutinized my work but, won't affect me at all. Their superficial superiority is good for themselves and with that, I care less. I don't write perfect but, advertisers hire me to write about their products. I don't get paid if it did not pass in their standard. So, I am happy with that. My greatest struggle to battle is really learning the skill of IT world. I should get me an IT course perhaps.
