Lacking any way to get my writing "out there" beside Parable magazine and sending unpublished articles to magazines, I remembered the advice of various accomplished journalists: Make a website and post your own articles, because it shows that you're always writing, what your writing is like, and gives people the chance to discover you.

First thing first, I decided what kind of online presence I wanted to post my articles on. A themed website or personal ezine, or a column type blog? I chose column, as it gives me more topic options, and turned to Wordpress. I chose Wordpress as it is a blog platform I don't use for any other blog, and that eliminates any personal or anonymous blog posts being accidently shared there, or vice versa. It also has easy to use themes, and is well known.

My only problem was what to write. I didn't want to open with anything too politically charged, and set the precedent for strong bias. Once I found a relatively neutral topic, the vast amount of apps that exist, I wrote and posted it immediately, and made sure to include RSS feeds and links on Weebly. With that article posted, the ideas just poured out, but I decided to post weekly for now.

As of today, there are two articles posted, both of which received feedback within minutes. Once this blog is more established, I can look into my other online article option, which is to start my own website or ezine.
