If you don't know where you are going all roads lead there.

That's exactly how I feel with this blog. The hardest aspect of learning for me is setting a goal and then working the smaller steps to achieve that goal. It seems too daunting and I give up. It's sad to admit that I often get after my students for exactly the same thing, but I guess I'm not listening to my own "good advice". I procrastinated writing my first entry after seeing the first bloggers and realizing I was WAY out of my league. (Please tell me these people knew what they were doing already!) O-k, stand tall, breathe deeply, fingers ready.....JUMP.....I'm bloooooggggging!!!

About Me
- lulablum
- I'm a singer, but when I was on Bozo, I told him I was going to be a librarian, so I think I've ended up in the right place. My father and I spent many hours together at the library. He gave me a death stare when I made Mrs. Tester go down to the basement "holiday" stacks for a copy of a special winter book on a missing mitten. (that I took out EVERY week!) He let me take out my first book with NO pictures, but told me I probably wouldn't like it. He was right. I still needed pictures, but I never confessed! Every Christmas, after we had opened our gifts, my father would silently look around, smirk, and slowly get up and walk to the garage, open the car trunk, and bring in books for each of us--wrapped in store paper. He never said a word. I still share library time with my dad when I go out every Christmas and buy large print books for my hometown library in his memory. It's a sweet remembrance for me, and every year I say "Merry Christmas Daddy".

Hi Lula!
I had been playing around with WordPress for about a year, but it wasn't until the ELL program started that I got serious. I was inspired by my rabbi, who has a terrific WordPress blog, despuite no techie or graphics experience. As he frequently tells people, "if I can do this, anyone can".
He also says blogging is a great tension releiver: if something bugs you, blog about it!
Hi Lula-
I was one of the folks with an early site, and I knew NOTHING about it until I started. I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but ... the cool thing is that it's really quite simple once you get over the hurdle of anticipating that it's going to be hard. For about a year, I'd been interested in creating a site for a consulting business that I own, but I figured it would be a huge hassle, and not too fun. Once Heather posted the ELL 23 things, I decided to try it. It wasn't hard, and I think it's a blast!
Congratulations on setting up your blog! If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know.
Heather
