I may never podcast again

I’ve never been much for clickbait titles, but here’s a good one for ya. This is a thought I’ve been struggling with for several months. Back in the 1980’s, we had a Fisher Price audio cassette recorder that my sister and I would fool around with. Sometimes we’d mimic the Muppet Show. I remember once attempting to recreate the “We are the World” song that was so prevalent at the time. After we were finished, we’d rewind the tape and listen back to our insufficient voices while giggling and imagining it going out over the radio waves to anybody fortunate enough to be tuned in to our performance.

Blaugust tip: make haste!

This is the last tip I plan to post for Blaugust 2019 unless some heavenly inspiration overtakes me. Each year that I’m involved in some newbie blogger event, there are folks who seem completely apprehensive about starting a blog. Truly, the most successful blogs do take just a bit of planning in order to assure some form of longevity. But there comes a time when it’s necessary to jump in and hit that dreaded post button for the first time.

Blaugust tip: make friends

This might be the most important tip of them all. Take advantage of this blaugust experience and get involved in the blogging community. Make some new friends. Exchange ideas. Read each others blogs. Comment on each other’s blogs. Share each other’s blogs on social media. It’s a great way to keep the blogging community going, and it’s a fantastic way to come up with post ideas of your own!
