So, here goes…
2 Nov
Wow, finally… my first post. This is quite a momentous occasion for me, I’m a little nervous about what people will think of my blog and if they’ll even read it. You wouldn’t think I’d be nervous considering I blat out my every move on Twitter & Facebook, so much so that there is no need to ask me “So, how have you been?”. Anyone following me will already know… in great, and often unecessary, detail.
But I digress (I will do that a lot, so get used to it), back to why I am nervous about this post: You see, I have some amazing friends/mentors in this industry (Rozz, Mike Stopforth & Mel Attree to name a few) who have been encouranging me to start this for quite a while. And I haven’t yet because I want to do this right. I think it will be a personal blog, since I will not even try to enter the leagues of the web 2.0/social media bloggers I admire yet (Specifically; the aforementioned friends plus Eve Dmochowska, Gino Cosme, Dave Duarte, Jon Bishop, Tyler Reed, Nic Haralambous, etc) – I still have A LOT to learn. But I’m not exactly sure what to write about yet.
This brings me to the real real reason I am nervous (see – I told you I would digress!): In the true spirit of social media, I am going to ask you to tell me what you would read. Do you think I should write about my weird and crazy life? Should it only be about what I am learning in this exciting industry? Or should I do a little of both? I wont ask you to be nice – only be nice if you think I deserve it.
In the meantime, get to know me – if you don’t already. I’ve put together a not-so-short summary of who I am and where you can find me on the About and Contact pages. If you want to find out for yourself if I really exist an am not just a badly constructed bot, catch me at the next Jozi 27dinner!
Laterz,
Heidi
It looks super Heidi – well done. Glad to see you’ve gotten around to it – I think you’ll bring some balance to the ‘force’
I’d like to see you writing about a mix of things – work, life, you, reptiles
Whatever means something to YOU. It is your site, after all.
Cool beans, will subscribe asap!
Woot! The Snowgoose is online
Congratulations, and well done
Congrats on the birth of your blog. Now jut add a bit of yourself every day, stir in a good dollop of what you find interesting at work, whisk in some talk of the weird and wonderful (reptiles) and bake at 200 degrees till piping hot.
serve with some ready-made r(ice)ss
Yay! Nice one!
I say write about whatever the hell you want to…your space.
I’m also scared of clowns…and may perhaps be even more scared of people who aren’t scared of clowns
As for 30 seconds – name the time and place and you’re on!
Thanks so much guys – your comments are great! @Aquila: Nice one!
Looking forward to visiting your site regularly but may have to skip over any Blue Bulls propoganda!
@Amabacha LOL!
Typical Sharks supporter.
Finally! Love the Feed me btw.
Now just make sure to keep posting
Nice Work Heidi,
Your blog is going mad, awesome to see you can attract some many visitors so quickly.
You rock,
Hi Heidi
I only saw this now – nice site, welcome to the fray! Glad to see you finally decided to jump in.
On the writing – a little bit of everything is probably called for. You can’t please all the people all the time, so why try!? Hopefully you’ll use it creatively [as you already are] and get the enjoyment out of that!
Looking forward to reading more. Oh, and your about me page is very cool.
Hey Heidi. Nice going! Your blog looks great and I look forward to seeing your content evolve!
