@ the risk of revealing my age, I began publishing articles when the only available option was newsprint on something called ‘paper’. Gradually, my writing appeared in both paper and electronic form, and mirroring the industry trends nationally, more recently appears online only. Out of my published articles, highlights include interviews of NBA star Kevin Garnett; basketball coach and Brother-in Law Craig Robinson, Olympic gold medalist and pro volleyball player Kerri Walsh-Jennings, and others of note. I will speak about the transition to blogging and publishing using WordPress, and the ease with which that option presents itself even to someone not terribly up on the latest technology. I will also provide examples of how an Online presence can reach untapped audiences.
