A mistake used as a teaching tool is an experience  – that’s what I keep realizing.

It’s 12 : 08 PM on day 1560 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth, read Isaiah 45, publish my Disability of the Day feature,    publish my Kid of the Week feature, feed myself  a peanut butter sandwich and a banana for breakfast and  promote my Educate Generations campaign –  still on $1 190 and still praying some people have promised to donate for which I am very grateful (dear God please when you have a moment work through someone to help educate generations. Please and thank you in advance).

This morning I was thinking about the things that I wish someone had told me before I started blogging in 2010 and I wrote those things down in the hopes that it would help someone. Take a look:

4 Things Bloggers Should Do

1. Own and manage your own domain name and hosting account – if someone else pays for and manages your domain name and hosting account they can pull the plug on your blog at any time.
2. Be Consistent – if you can only blog once a week then blog once a week don’t blog once a week one week and five times a week the next week.
3. Be honest and be yourself – when blogging it’s important to tell the truth about yourself and the things you notice around in a style that’s completely yours.
4. Use your blog as a platform to help people – don’t use your blog to hurt those who hurt you rather use it to speak for the voiceless.
