So…Who is this Vanessa Jensen anyways????

      Let me tell you who this Vanessa Jensen is… 🙂

I’m a 28 year old female who loves her husband, her family, her friends, just about every plant and animal on this planet (each are so beautifully unique in their own way!), music (playing as well as listening to), painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpting, cooking, baking, learning, traveling, exploring, puzzles, creativity, meeting new interesting people…this list can go on and on…it would be easier to just tell you the things I am not very fond of…violence, anger, hate, greed, jealousy, envy and just about everything  that is grown from these emotions.

I’m a student at Laney College in Oakland, CA. This semester I decided to take a journalism class, I am learning many new things in this class…I love it! One of our assignments this week was to create a blog so…I have now taken that step into the blogger community and this is my first post.

I’ve been doing a little research over these past few days on writing your first post and I’ll share a bit of the info…just in case there are any new bloggers (like myself) reading this…

• Headline of the post is VERY VERY important.     

This is what will catch the readers eye…based on this they will decide whether they will even spend their time reading on. I tried my best to catch your eye with my headline…how do you think I did? 🙂

• Post should be between 200 – 800 words.          

I’m still writing this so I’m not too sure how long mine will end up being but I’m goin for about 300…I’ll let you know when I’m done. 

•  It’s a good idea to add pictures and links.

I’ll make sure to do this…I went ahead and added a link on bogging tips that was very helpful to me…there was also MANY other helpful sites I looked over but I couldn’t add them all.

•  Always make sure you check for spelling and punctuation errors.

Will do.

• Be sure to switch up the background on your page about every month or so…

 Will do…I wouldn’t want my page to get boring and stale…!

And most importantly write about something you are passionate about…As you can see in my into I have many passions in my life…With this blog I will try my hardest to spread helpful and useful information about all of my passions…possibly with a little humor thrown in here and there. 🙂

Please check back with me when you have a chance and join me on my blogging journey….feel free to leave me a comment with a blogging tip or any other positive thing you would like *

Thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to read this & be sure to make it a beautiful day!! ****
