My name is Becca. I don’t have a blog – until yesterday, that is. I sell online. I sell all sorts of things online, but I’ve never created a blog. Other sellers chat about the benefits – how you can make money blogging, meet new people - but when I think of blogging, I get the feeling that I get when it’s time to scoop the litter boxes.

But I know I have to do this. I chose my blog name, got hosting, added WordPress and a theme. I’ve spent the last week creating a website for my printables store, Becca Katz Printables. And an Etsy store by the same name. And a Facebook page. I was prepared to do this blogging thing.

When I heard from Paul Taubman that he was starting the Ultimate Blogging Challenge, I knew it was the key to finally start blogging

What happens in the Challenge is that you make a blog post every day for the month of November. You need to post it on your website, the UBC Facebook page & your Twitter feed. Make comments on a blog or 2. There is a suggestion every day for a topic so you don’t go crazy trying to come up with ideas.

I spent all day today learning how to post a blog on my site. My test blog post looks pretty good. Now I’m going to create one to post in FB and Twitter

And that is how you start blogging.
