This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.

While I prefer writing fiction my work took an abrupt turn when I was targeted for title theft by a group of local white collar criminals. For sanity and healing I needed to understand how this happened and why. As a first step I dropped in on the Registrar of Deeds office in Fayette County, TN. I asked a few questions revealing myself as the novice I was, and then copied and took home with me what I had yet to recognize as examples of document fraud. I then attempted to track down the corrupt appraiser. These simple attempts to gain knowledge and understanding, questions anyone might ask, led to me being aggressively threatened by the Perpetrator Nexus crew of bad actors. After a first sleepless night. After I calmed down and prayed I realized that the threat was far out of proportion to my few fledging first steps. It came to me that "they" whoever "they" were, had far more to fear than I ever would. There was something to know and I needed to know "it."
From that day forward the spark was lit. Truth is like water. It seeks its own level and ignored too long becomes the flood that changes everything. My investigation would lead to a mafia like group of operatives and lots of superficially respected professionals making lots of money from serving the local and national footprint of these crimes. I encountered corruption starting at the county level and going all the way up to the sixth circuit court of appeals.
So... about me? I am a seventy something grandmother on a mission to equip other victims of title theft and mortgage scams to fight back. To recognize the chain of theft while still in their homes and under assault. And if the deed is done and illegal seizure has already taken place to know that there is no statute of limitations on a void judgement. It is never too late to start this fight for justice and in doing so, laying the path straight and firm for others to do the same.
My focus shifted as research revealed many other victims some of whom suffered far more than I did. Most never realized that title theft began with banks off-loading mortgages to criminals long before any charade of foreclosure takes place. The first book: ILLEGAL FORECLOSURE, TITLE THEFT, and its CHAIN OF CORRUPTION tells my story. It examines the chain of theft common to all Title Theft Schemes. It looks at some fascinating court cases and what I came to call the Bank Theft Delivery System use of Bank Approved Vendors. Part-3 takes the reader through the series of signed and notarized document fraud that in every title theft scam serves to grease the chain of theft.
The new book (May 2021) TITLE THEFT: QUICK GUIDE OF LISTS is a far shorter book and meant to be a companion to the first. This book is a practical and powerful investigative tool designed to keep any investigation on track; what you need and where to find it.
I love to hear from readers. Don't hesitate to get in touch. I can also zoom a consultations if needed.
