Most of times we often don’t even have plans of doing something but somehow, somewhat it just happens due to something that you go through. In a life time one has to go through challenges and experiences to get a change or start something. This experience i’m talking about is how it led me to create a blogging site.

THE X_PERIENCE 001.
It was one Friday morning head filled with thoughts, of course money thoughts so i sought out to a friend to give me a gig in his company and he gave me a number to contact. I went ahead and texted this guy and he asked me some questions more like an interview over phone, then he asked me if i know how to use wordpress, since i didn’t know how to use it even though i had it in mind to create a blog i told him no but i had started learning which i didn’t complete. In other ways i would say that i was scared at that moment he asked because it gonna be an obstacle. So he gave me a solution right, he said he would teach me how to use it. i waited and nothing happened. He assured me of a different time to do it and it didn’t happen, so it went on like that then i decided to do something on my own. I was looking it up still i wasn’t understanding anything. Well i forgot about him and i said to myself i could do it, i went through the process of creating the account, it got to some point i didn’t know what i was even doing but i was just doing it. To my out most surprise i received an email that i have created wordpress account and that i should activate it. I went ahead and opened the link and there it was. wow i had done it and i was happy i did it by myself.
When you have to do something you don’t have to wait when there’s a chance that you can also do it by yourself, everything is possible once you give it a try. DON’T WAIT, JUST DO IT.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
