Beth's class on the Basics of Blogging inspired me to jump into the world of blogging. It's one thing to build and launch a website, yet a whole different and often daunting experience to create a larger presence on the internet. I left feeling that a well crafted blog will expand Sole Stories's audience and create traffic to our website. Beth's skill, knowledge and clarity of information gave me the incentive to just 'begin' and see what surprises may unfold.
