How to Conquer Your Fear of Blogging

Does the fear of starting a blog stop you dead in your tracks? I meet a lot of people who let the “tech” get in the way.

But here’s the thing; it’s REALLY not that hard to start a blog. The folks at WordPress make it so much easier than when I started back in 2009. Plus there are tons of tutorials out there that can help you along the way. Even if you don’t want to use WordPress; there’s sites like Tumblr, Medium, Weebly, SquareSpace – you can even start writing posts on LinkedIn.

Google Embraces Podcasting and Accepts Podcasts in the Play Store

Google made the announcement on their Android Blog in a post titled “Podcasters, welcome to Google Play Music”. This means that after years of patiently waiting for a native podcast app on Android, the wait is over, and at long last: Google embraces podcasting!

After hearing the news first from Daniel J. Lewis and then later from Rob Walch and Elsie Escobar on The Feed the official Libsyn podcast, I quickly rushed over to tell my friend on Blab. I also wanted to share my initial reaction and discuss the impact this will have on podcasting as a whole. I’m sure that over time I be able to share more “big picture” ideas and thoughts but a few things popped into my head right away so I wanted to Blab about them.
