The Purpose of this Blog - and intended format

Hello friends who have landed and joined and have chosen to follow this blog or simply stop by once in a while is to create and arena where both Vicki Elam and myself may blog together and so the threads that I begin and we both continue to elaborate on shall start with a post but then the remainder of the threads shall be posted as comments - for now this is how I understand that this is a good and easy method to set this up and carry it through and so this is what I have chosen to do along with Vicki's agreement and so I hope that we both can go into debt and explore our connection here and elsewhere on the Internet - If either one of use posts something that needs to be adjusted I hope that we may be able to correct those specific posts and remain as flexible as possible - thank you for your interest!!!

  2. well I am very thankful to you Vicki since this is the very first opportunity to work on such a collaborative project for me and it is something that I have thought about exploring for a very long time - In fact I believe that the type of communicating and connecting that you and I are able and from what I see willing to conduct here on this blog is one of the great advantages of there being an Internet - as well as what is known as a social media arena!

    I hope you enjoy your Christmas time and I will look forward to our continued communications!

    thank you!

    Walter

  4. Vicki - during our period of deciding which venue to start this blog in - you mentioned that one of your specialties is social media - can you please explain what that means to you - there seems to be so many people who are stating that they are social media experts and - well I don't think they can all be the same just like every photographer or artist is different and unique - I would like to hear how you even began thinking of that as a specialty for you - if that is an OK thing to ask of you here -

  5. Social Media to me means engaging with people via social networking sites. Its no different than face to face networking. I for one will never claim to be an expert in this field as its always changing. I love connecting with people whether its online or offline. Being authentic and real is the key. I can usually spot a fake a mile away. Then there's the spammers who have nothing to offer and only promote themselves or businesses. I stay clear of that as its so impersonal and unprofessional. Keep things light hearted and fun, that has been my success in social media.

  6. OK - when I hear the words - keeping it real I think - just be natural - is that what you mean?

    I remember my friend Jerry P in grammar school signed me book at graduation - don't be sharp - don't be flat - just be natural - but since we were all in the orchestra playing music together the sharp flat and natural signs he used were musical symbols but the saying stuck -

    well I really think that it is pretty amazing to be having such a conversation with you - remembering things from so may years ago - when in all honesty there are many of my family members who are not able to converse with me to this extent - I suppose there is nothing that I have to say that is of any interest to them -

    now I would like to share a photograph that I took last night so I will be moving from here to another blog post instead of continuing with this comment thread - I hope that is OK with you -

  8. Yes, thats exactly what I mean, be yourself and be natural. Well I feel special knowing that you and I can communicate the way we do, that's pretty awesome in my book. And to let you in on a little secret, I've had more conversations with you in a short time than I've had with my sisters in over 2 years. I'm on to your next thread!
