@Gini
Thanks for writing, Gini. Yes! That impostor/illegitimacy “thing” is a big one for us creative types. Our positive self-talk is the best defense.

@Lindsey
I value your feedback so much, Lindsey. You’re one of my role models when it comes to blogging. Thank you!

@Janet
I’m so glad to connect with you via my blog. Thank you for writing.
As I mentioned in my article, I traded time for $$ and hired Lena West (see blog entry for her website) and had her walk me through the process one inch at a time.
Wordpress.com is pretty self-explanatory, but to have it come through my website required Lena’s and Steve’s (my webmaster-link on entry to his site, too) expertise.

My understanding of the power of blogging is that your subject matter will attract those interested in what you do. These search engines are powerful connectors, so early education providers will be magnetized to your site and you through blogging.

Thanks for your feedback on the look of my blog. Branding is an important piece of the pie, so I wanted to take the time to present myself in keeping with my identity.

@Ilana
I appreciate your feedback and enthusiasm for this medium. I respect your opinion greatly and look forward to being connected in this way.

@Tonya
Thank you! I hope all is well with you, too. I miss our regular contact. Hope the new work is suiting you happily.

Now that I’ve worked with you in person, I look forward to reading your blog and hearing your wisdom on regular basis.

I live in Virginia and have been enjoying your emails
for several months.

So many times I have wished we lived closer so that I
could attend your classes…

Would you please tell me the steps you took to start
and run your blog? Who is your host, etc.

I am an Early Education Coach, don’t yet have a web
site, and hear that a blog might be a good way to
start. But how?

Many thanks!
Janet

PS. I love the colors and overall look of your web
site. They encourage one to “stay a while” and read
to the end.
