Marshall Yard:

Have you seen my blog? What are you blogging about? Should I blog? Who else is blogging?  This is a venture that I am truly a novice at, in reality, the blog-umbilical is still attached.  I am in the infancy stages of this social media craze.

I have found that blogging is fun for sure,  I am not a copywriter, nor claim to be one.  This is truly a novice perspective, but welcome to the neighborhood! In researching different social media sites, you truly can learn alot, forums are a great place to pick up tips as well.  RSS-could stand for really stupid stuff, but it means Really Simple Syndication.  I ran across a great site that lists several places you can submit RSS feeds into.  

Okay, so the original question, Blogging? What is it all about?  I feel it is about “relationships”, its an added source to anything you are presently doing in your life.  Whether your blog is personal or business related. 

I recently ran across one of our clients blog, Indium Corporation-Rick Short, and sent off an email since I did not know Rick Short and wanted to introduce myself.  In my position, I do not have communication with our clients so this was really a great thing for me.  Even though its a business blog, its great to form relationships of a more personal nature. 

Getting to know the “true” personalities of people, and the lighter side of folks is actually fun and puts a bit of the old “human” touch back in things.  How funny is that statement, well at least you don’t have to press “1″ for english or “0″ for the operator, you can just read away!

P.S - September 19th, 2008 - We recently had a discussion about two weeks ago regarding the new computers that were coming into our facility all having Office 2007 on them.  Well, low and behold if you are using outdated versions of Office you can not open the files unless someone saves them in a different format.  When our IT contacted Dell to inquire on purchasing these, it is about 300.00 a machine.  Well, this in the back of my mind - I was reading Rick Short’s blog and bouncing from link to link.  I found a conversion program patch for this particular situation, that is available through Microsoft. 

The power of the blog!
