What is a blog?

The internet is a great place.
 
Okay, so that’s a matter of opinion I suppose. It can be used for both good and bad, but when used for good, it can open up the entire world. 
 
I recently went to Google and typed in: “What is a blog”. This is what I got…
 
blog
noun

1. a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style.

 
Hmmmm, that helps. Thanks Google! So a blog is writing. It can be really long pieces of writing or it can be quite short.  But about what exactly? 
 
When I researched further I discovered that a blog can be about anything you like. ANYTHING! Then I got excited. You see, at Umbrella we have a group of intelligent and excited individuals who have so much to share. About SO MANY THINGS! 
 
Personally I love writing. I’ve co authored two books and would love to write more but these days time for writing is not on my side. To educate our team on the benefits of writing and to share my love in this space is really going to fill my cup. But enough about me! 
 
Today, June 1st 2023, our group of writers start the journey of learning the power of written expression. We will brainstorm about every single idea we have and will get busy making a plan. 
 
As a team we will research, format, understand everything we document, check our spelling and grammar and most importantly, we will have fun whilst learning. 
 
Watch this space… Our team is about to get busy. Did I mention we start TODAY?!
 
Wait… Did I just write a blog? 😜
