I am worried that i wont be able to blog with any good content. I am not a writer and kind of a loner.
Hi Brent, I think most of us feel the same way you do when we first start with WA, whether we haven't some experience or not. There is so much help and support here that you will be able to get all your questions and concerns answered by fellow members. My advice is just go for it. You are probably a better writer than you give yourself credit for. Find a niche that you enjoy and know something about, and you will be able to share your knowledge with others. Good luck, Tom
Hey Brent! ... funny that you should mention it ... do you know why? ...
...I felt the same way you did as I didn't ever recall writing up a blog either before joining WA ...
... so pretty much the whole time up until recently, I 'practiced' on WA's My Blog and just figured things out one at a time -- like loading an image (free on here) and just kept going ...
... I'm up to over 20 posts and you're welcome to have a look at what i've written -- just click my profile.... you might surprise yourself -- I discovered, to my own amazement, that yes, I can blog! ... and of course, so can you! ...
.... Absolutely! ... find within yourself an interest, hobby, vacation, dream, topic, another interest, activity, sports, news, the world, anything that ignites your fire within! ... go for it! ... on the keyboard -- yes! you can do this! ...
... hope this helps encourage you a wee bit ...
..... all the best, cheerio... :)
Thank you keishalina9 I am going to give it a try the best i can and maybe i will get better at it as time goes by.
For sure! ... try and have some fun with the various functions / buttons / icons, etc ... it's ok to experiment -- WA platform is amazing technologically! .... here's a training blog by a seasoned WA member about "important stuff" to know -- here it is in case you haven't seen it ... wished it was available when i first started here ... very helpful ... :) Important Stuff at WA

Write all the things you wish you could do that you think you would love doing. Now write down all of the things you love doing even if it is sleeping. Take the top three from each list, write it on a piece of paper, put the papers in a hat, shake the hat, and draw one. Spend at least 40 to 60 hours reading and researching what you drew..
When you have done that grab a legal pad and pen or pencil. Set your countdown timer on your telephone for three minutes. When you have done that write down one topic that you came across in your research. Start your countdown and for the next three minutes write down every idea that you have learned in your research about that one topic. Don't worry if you stray. Just keep writing until the countdown timer goes off. If you have more than 10 topics you have written down, you are good to go.
This, by the way, is a brainstorming exercise in which is used by some of the top corporations. Mindmeister is a good brainstorming app.
