I have just taken on a job teaching journalism and started writing a weekly column in the local paper. Both were after a year of blogging for a growing number of sites and finetuning the education in communications I got YEARS ago that was rather dusty. The blogging has opened a whole new world of social connections and feedback I never thought possible. In my class on converging journalism, I plan to bring up blogging and how, like journalism, the pressure is on to know a little of everything from good photography to video (or vlogging now) to simply good writing with research to back it if you want to remain credible. Journalism and blogging can be so similar and yet so different. I can't wait to unpack it all with the students. Any suggestions or resources I should use? Great post. Thanks. Absolutely!

The reason why I thought that is because that's exactly what happened to my daughter! She writes a blog about horse courses she's been on, or would like to do, and the travels she's had around the world in the equestrian industry. A local college in our state found her writings last year and asked her if she'd like to teach a horse course at their college. She accepted (after checking with me in case it was spam :-) ) and this year she's been teaching there which has helped considerably towards her goal of saving for a home.

As I have noticed a blog I read, "Life of a Writer", Misti Sandefur also uses this similar technique. That is where I got the idea from.
