Writing and Speaking for Business

I have begun a new class at school - Management Communications 320 - Writing and Speaking for Business.  Like before, this class requires me to maintain a blog.  This is a great way to get back into the habit of writing and reading blogs!

In this class, my blog posts will follow the "What?" module:
 - What did I learn about?  Particularly, what new thing did I discover in my class?!
 - So what? Why does this new thing matter?
 - Now what?  What do I plan to do with this discovery?  Do I need to learn more about it?  How will I use it?  I need to make some concrete plans for the future of this new bit of knowledge!

Yea, but who is reading it all?

A few weeks ago, my niece, Maren, posted a blog that asked if anyone was reading her posts or if she was just wasting her time. Several friends and family members quickly wrote back to assure her that her blog was indeed being read & enjoyed.

Then my husband went on a road trip with some friends, and created a blog to report their trip to all the families.  They had a wonderful experience, but the blogs ended about 3 days before the trip did.  When I asked him why, he told me that no one was commenting on the blog, so he figured no one was reading it either.  He did, however, continue the story where people were commenting
