3, 2, 1.5, 1….Blast Off! Tomato’s 101st Blogger takes off.
March 20th, 2008 categories: This and That
Got your attention?
I hope so. Because if I have learned anything about blogging, it is the importance of getting the readers’ attention with an attention grabbing Headline. But, that is about as far as I’ve got so far.
Let’s hope I pick up some more tricks along the way…
I am sitting here with a sense of anxious anticipation that often comes before embarking on a journey to a place I have never before visited. Such is my sense with regard to writing my first blog post. Or, maybe its more akin to the feeling a virgin has before engaging in that thing that no longer makes them a virgin- I’m trying to remember.
Anyway, I thought to begin this journey, I would first dip my toes in the water and briefly touch on my goals and expectations before I actually dive in with something truly substantive and ground shaking. I suppose this is sort of an introduction to both, myself and the throngs of readers to come.
But first, I would like to thank the “Academy“, or at least give props, to the folks who helped me get here.
First of all, thanks to Jim Cronin and everyone who has helped get me off the ground at The Real Estate Tomato. Thanks to Mark Moineau of IDXcentral for turning me on to the Tomato. And lastly, I would like to acknowledge “me” for recognizing the opportunity!
Ok. I know…Get on with it!
From the outset, my vision for ChicoRealEstateVoice.com is to create Chico’s premiere resource for local community and real estate information. I want it to be informative, meaningful and FUN! People should enjoy the site and, hopefully, learn some things too. But, while I will try not to genuinely offend, I am pretty sure that buttons will be pushed along the way. Certain issues will require positions to be taken and opinions to be expressed. And, as we know, you can’t pick a side without making a few waves.
So, surfs up… Thanks for having me and I hope you enjoy my future blogs!
(now that wasn’t so hard…)
