Life in the Blogesphere

One of the first people to respond to my email yesterday about my career as a professional blogger was our classmate, Connie Robertson Haskell. Before you go scrambling to your yearbooks, I'll tell you that Connie was only there for our freshman year. Luckily, she sat next to me in freshman ATP (with Mr. Born), so I did get to know her. Anyway, Connie is a "blogger" herself after giving up the corporate life on Oahu and settling on the Big Island.

Investigating her "creative" side, Connie took up painting, graphic/design marketing and wood working. But she wanted to do something creative with her writing so she started two blogs in addition to her private family blog, "Robertson Stew." Her personal blog is called "Does this Blog Make My Mouth Look Big" http://hanakuli.blogspot.com/
and "Coconut Girl - Island Inspired Living" http://hawaiiannative.blogspot.com/

One of the customary points of the blogging community is that you try to link or share other writers blogs when appropriate. Connie said she saw an interview on Martha Stewart stating that there was a lack of "older bloggers" so our generation needs to get more technical savvy because there's some great content and information out there. If you find some good blogs out there that are worth reading, let us know. Aloha...
