It took me a year to get to this blog… no kidding, a year!!! Though I loved the idea of blogging and the interaction that comes with it,  just reading my favorite blogs gave me cold feet. I always worried wether I would ever be able to make to that standard.

I must have a read atleast a dozen sites on how to start a blog, but nothing helped. And then BINGO! I read “how to write a great blog posting” and I just decided to start.  :)

 

Certification completed… what next? March 30, 2007

After getting one hurdle out of the way and heaving a sigh of relief… I am faced with another, much larger mountain to scale! What next? How do I start?  Where do I begin? While browsing around, I happened to stumble upon this blog on creativity and innovation. It seemed to be addressed to me ;)

Here’s what it says in a nutshell…

  • Create space for yourself
  • Allow time for ‘play’ or to make mistakes
  • Adopt simple techniques
  • Allow interaction between yourself and your colleagues for a possible knowledge sharing session.

Here’s the link to the article

Whew! I have got down to doing this. I have been wanting to blog for so long now. But just reading my favorite blogs have left me wondering if I can ever get it right like they do. However I’ve decided to just get with it. So please bear with me guys…

 I do hope this blog turns out to be one of those recognized design blogs on 9 rules. So here goes nothing. Will be writing again soon…. so look out people here I come :)
