Another Blog

In my blogging class we are asked to interview a blogger we admire who's blog is similar to our own.  I chose Abi Martin, an OKC girl who blogs about similar things I aspire to blog about and she is awesome at it.  She has great style and has a way of writing about anything and making it interesting.  She writes a lot about photography but she also writes about daily life.  Check out her blog by clicking this link!

Elizabeth


 This is Elizabeth.  She started babysitting me when I was 4 years old. I can't begin to tell you how much I looked up to her when I was growing up.

She is already the mother to a cute as can be 8 year old girl and is expecting Charles Jr. in April.  Elizabeth is as beautiful on the inside and she is on the outside. I loved taking some maternity pics for her! We took advantage of this beautiful spring weather. This pic was one of my favorites.

Dave Rhea - Guest Speaker

On Tuesday 2-28, Dave Rhea from The Journal Record (a great business newspaper for Oklahomans) came to talk to our class about blogging. He had a lot of great information to offer. Some of what I took is the following:

1. Blog consistently.  If you don't consistently post something you will lose the attention of your followers.  This tip really made me think that I should post more often.

2. Share your opinion. Don't be afraid to take a stand.  This to me is important, I am taking it in maybe a different way than Mr. Rhea may have meant.  I take it as not taking sides on controversial issues, yet I am taking this advice as sharing what I feel is important.

3. Love learning. I love this statement. No matter what you do in life this is important.  We live in a World that is constantly changing, no matter what you do for a living or just life in general, we must love learning new things to stay current.

Dave Rhea was an awesome guest and I took a lot from what he had to say.  To look at his work and the work of the other journalists at The Journal Record click here.
