I’ve been blogging for 3.5 years now. No, that doesn’t mean I’m an expert or anything, but it has given me enough time to learn a few lessons and figure out which aspects of the hobby I should stop caring about. When I first started out, I was determined to post something every day, but…

At my last job, we had some kick-ass business cards. Sure, I didn’t end up giving out all 100+ of them in the 2 years I worked there, but it was still nice to have them for networking events and whatnot. I’ve been blogging for a few years now but haven’t taken the plunge in…
