I have to admit

When my computer teacher, Mrs. Vicki, first told my class about blogs, I have to admit I was the person in the back of the room not really paying attention going, “What’s a blog?” Once she explained in simplistic terms what a blog was she required us to create wikis explaining Web 2.0 so we could learn about it and create our own bloglines account. Then (of all things) she had us post something on our class blogmeister account. I was still the one going, “What am I supposed to write about?” I was seriously at a loss. I mean what could I say that would actually interest anyone else, but then I started reading other peoples blogs. I finally realized that there is a myriad of different things to write about: politics, religion, technology, etc. If you have a hobby of any kind, somebody has written about it in a blog. While watching the new this morning, I actually heard the President say the word blog when talking about how the American people can keep up a positve attitude in the War in Iraq. Blogs are revolutionizing this country, and many people are completely oblivious to even what a blog is much less what it can. So thank you Mrs. Vicki for convincing me what a viable resource a blog can be. Thank you for not letting me be ignorant to something so revolutionary.

You are a wonderful student! I am so proud of your blog. I think you can do great things with your blog! I hope you’ll read my post Ten habits of bloggers that win. It is more than I taught you in class but it will help you as you work to get people to notice your website.
First, register your site on technorati.
Second, remember to use your bloglines account to read up on the topics that interest you. If you’re going to write about topics such as politics, you may want to read what Michelle Malkin has to say!
Remember to use the HTML I’m teaching you in class.
You are so wonderful and so very talented. Yes, blogs will change the world, but you too will change the world, Kyli, in very big ways. I believe in you and I am proud to be your teacher!

Hi there
Well done on being woman enough to admit that you were wrong. Well done in spotting the revolutionary potential of blogging. Well done in setting up your own (gorgeous) blog. Well done for realising the contribution you can make. Your Mrs Vicki is one of my favourite people in the blogosphere – she is a fine role model for you, after all, she’s kind of become my teacher, too, and I’m wa-ay older than you!
