Blogging for beginners 1

I find this whole process a tad stressful. I have only ever looked at other people's blogs and have had no desire to create my own, and indeed wonder why people want to!!! However, I know I can't hide from Web 2.0 so should at least understand how it all works.
I'm a passionate believer in lifelong learning and am always looking for new opportunities that increase my knowledge and challenge me. And thinking of what to write in my blog certainly is challenging!
I've just come back from the PLC conference at Tamworth and heard Chrystie Hill speak on building online communities. Fascinating stuff - makes me realise how much is happening on the web that the library world has no part of! It certainly is different thinking of all these new ways for libraries to engage with people, and not just those who walk in the front door. I suppose the challenge is to still provide great service to those who do walk through the door, while cultivating a new clientele out there in webworld.
