Blogging is a broad church that offers many talking points. In this, my first post for the 2016 Newbie Blogger Initiative, I want to explore motivation, aspirations and style. I also want to touch upon some of the inevitable problems that may come up when writing online. Forewarned is forearmed. But before we proceed, don't forget that the advice you’ll both here and via the other sites contributing to this year’s event is purely subjective. We're all individuals and what works for one may not for another. There is no definitive way to blog and each blogger has to find their style.
