Feel free to send this post to anybody who’s getting pushed to blog—and to anybody who’s doing the pushing.

Nope... no previews... read the 6 Myths of Blogging here
One of the purposes of these posts is for me gain knowledge and grow in understanding the ins and outs of my new career as a blogger. This article caught me up short (hummm where does that phrase come from?). I am sure I have been guilty of not only believing some of these myths but also passing them on to others.

Yet, what right to I have to expect you to spend time reading material that I haven't spent time putting some thought into?
I will work at doing better, I promise.
