“I first began blogging a little less than three years ago and I have certainly come a long way in this field since that first post. At first, it was a passive hobby, something to satisfy my knack at web and graphic design while at the same time being able to express what I was learning. Yet now, I love the passion of writing and the excitement of encouraging and challenging others.
