Mini Shout Out to Other Blogs

Now, I've mentioned recently about how I read steno blogs, but there really aren't that many because I just started.

But I'm happy that the 2 I've been reading the most of lately are as follows:

StenoNerd

She has got to be one of the most upbeat and positive thinkers on the net. I absolutely love the dedication she puts towards her blog (it's quite regularly updated), but also towards keeping her eyes on the power of positive thinking.

I know that my last blog was a bit of a downer, but I am typically a very positive person.
Even that last negative event reminded me to look for the silver lining.

I'm nowhere near the "end" of her blog, so I look forward to what else she posts.

Kramm

This was the very first steno-related blog that I came across, even though it's headed by a deposition agency, rather than a fellow student.
I first stumbled across it while looking for how to carry my equipment in the most effective and no-hassle way possible. And it all just snowballed from there.
(Actually, would you believe it? That's also the same thing I was Googling when I first gound StenoNerd! And I STILL haven't found an answer that works for me. I'll blog more about this topic later.)

Honestly, I've actually never liked the idea of blogs. When they were first gaining popularity while I was in college, I was so put-off by them, because they were "clogging up" my Google search results. But now, I see that so long as you can find a blog that's geared toward what you want to learn more about, they can actually be quite beneficial.
My guess is that the shift from self-oriented blogs have fallen by the way side now that Facebook/Twitter provides that outlet for people. Thus, freeing up blogs to be more topic-oriented!

In fact, reading some other blogs has inspired me to make this one!
I hope that it helps as much as others have!

Going forward, I'll list out more blogs as I come across them.
