The Struggling Blogger

Thanks to the internet, we are able to transcend nationalities, races and color. We get to meet people from the other parts of the globe.

With that introduction, I would like to present to you my featured blogger in my Bloggers Connection, Eric Schweer.

Eric who is from Colorado is my first featured blogger who is neither a Filipino nor in the Philippines. But like I said, internet, and my Bloggers Connection, goes beyond the limit of the archipelago.

Like most bloggers I know today, I ‘met’ Eric through my blogger friend Jena Isle, my very first featured blogger here.

Eric blogs about mountains, the great outdoors and almost anything under the sun through his blog Ruminations of a Small Town Mountain Boy. What I like most about him is that “he can take you to nature” with him.

I am presenting again my Bloggers Connection, and this time, instead of featuring just a single blogger, I am giving you a group of bloggers - the Clin Chem Student Bloggers, a group of students who created their blogs to support their studies on Clinical Chemistry.

With the blessing and guidance of their professor, these 29 students created their blogs:
1. To enhance the learning-teaching process through Web-Based Instructional Materials (WBIM).
2. To synchronize learning-teaching methods with relevant, available updates in technology.
3. To encourage students to utilize current technology in their learning process.
4. To adapt current and global online methods of learning.

Most of them, if not all of them, are first-time bloggers. And I believe that by presenting them here, you can help me in encouraging these students and formally welcoming them to the blogosphere.

Most of my blogging friends know who the only woman in my life is now… and she is my Angel. My little darling, who is the greatest gift that my wife gave me.

Let me share with you a little story about her when she was still very young. I won’t narrate here though. It is posted in my friend Jena Isle’s blog and it’s part of her Inspirational Book project.

So, if you won’t mind, may invite you to read the story – in three parts…

Here are the links:

She Didn’t Dance - part 1

She Didn’t Dance - part 2

She Didn’t Dance - the conclusion

I hope you’ll find the time to read the story… and I hope you like it.

Thank you.

I was puzzled by Mon’s latest comment in my post about Fatherlyours and Webpinas, because it reads:

Testing mike 1,2,3. hello! Testing mike- 1,2,3 - Hello!

That’s about it!

But I knew there was more to that than just a “mike test” and I was right. I noticed the link he used in his name, http://fatherlyours.com so I excitedly followed it, and voila!

Fatherlyours is back!

Yes! Mon got his domain name back and I am really very happy for him. As of this writing, it’s still the default WP Theme and a Hello World post, but I knew Mon will be able to reconstruct it in no time.
