Hello!
My name is Zoe. Welcome to my blog!
I am a Oncampus Coventry student that prepare the Master into Coventry University. I am from China but used to live in South Korea. I mayjored in Chemical Engineering in undergraduate university, but now I changed my subject into International Business Management (IBM). I came here, the UK, have been 4 months and still getting accustomed to living in this country. I have made some very good friends so far, they make me feel not alone. They are outgoing, active, sympathetic, and reliable so that I found that I always rely on my friends.
In my free time, I used to listen classical music which is my favourite kind of music. By the way, I prefer Chopin’s music for his romantic style whereas the best pick of orchestra is Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto. Sometimes I also go shopping or to a cinema with my friends. Spending time with friend is exactly glorious.
why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
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:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
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.
