Paragraph Description of Session:In this enchantingly mundane preso, veteran blogger Miguel Guhlin shares his meteoric rise to rock star status as a blogger, confesses his blogging addiction, time spent in rehab and offers a retrospective look at blogging as therapeutic nonsense worth tracking and sharing.
About Miguel Guhlin:Although the official press releases can be found at http://mguhlin.net, please know that Miguel has served as a classroom teacher, administrator in Texas schools, worked as a consultant prior to the Sad Economic Depression of 2010, tortured thousands with his desert-dry humor (you’re next), and has been “junk blogging” for the last 5-6 years.

1) Writing flows from a moment captured by the voyager; I am he.
“Every experience in our lives is worth writing about.” - Nanci Atwell, In the Middle
Selfhood derives from the sense that one can initiate and carry out activities on one’s own.
Even the simplest narratives are built around an agent-self as a protagonist.
Any system of education or theory of pedagogy that diminishes the school’s role in nurturing its pupils’ self-esteem fails at one of its primary functions.
Personhood implicates narrative.--Jerome Bruner

2) I blog to transform my experiences.
The act of creation embodied in this blog, in everything I write, are powerful antidotes to the poison I encounter in the wilderness of despair, of fear, and hypocrisy. Blogging allows me to transform them, like the dragon in one of my favorite stories, St. George and the Dragon and The Quest for the Holy Grail by Edward Hays (http://goo.gl/YX7UB)..

3) Dare to contribute for you are beautiful as well.
When I write, you'll find I'm in the story. When I see something, such as a technical problem, I am any one of the following: 1) An ignorant newbie to linux writing about how he solved a problem, recording it for the future so I won't forget what I've learned along the way; 2) A bridge-builder who labors for those who come behind him; 3) A peacock who faces anger with truth; 4) A turkey who cannot control its temper.

Tip #3 - Build your virtual nest using free or hosted web services. Blogger, Posterous and Tumblr are places to start.

4) Tell the truth when you write.
Bloggers must wrestle with their ideas, their emotions, the world around them and bring order to it. We need to speak to that struggle, tell when we fail, when we succeed...and find how to best share failures.
