But there wasn’t a whole bunch of work in the local area where I lived. I was looking at cheap ways for professional development and cheap ways for marketing to get things started. Then a friend suggested, “Why don’t you do a blog?” My current blog started in 2004. It was a way for me to reach out and to talk to people, and in those days of blogging, there were a lot of people who were helping others out, because there were so few of us, particularly in the educational technology area, where I was doing a lot of writing initially, and later in knowledge management.
[[Harold Jarche p]] describes how he came to blogging. He was in a place where there were no others to find. Blogging was finding the others. Early blogging scene was small and people helped eachother out. Did edutech first, then KM. Started in (early iirc) 2004.
