Have you looked at the blogging statistics on MyEC lately (see Monthly archives)? We have more bloggers than ever. I am always very proud when I read a 1st blog by a new member. Sometimes it is only one or two lines. Taking this first step is very important! You should feel very proud. Guess what makes me even happier? You guessed it. The second blog! Many people stop blogging at #1, but I hope you aren't one of them.
In your second blog you can tell us more about yourself. Try answering these questions:
1. Why did you join MyEC?
2. Why are you learning English?
3. What aspects of language learning do you need to work on most? (listening, writing, etc.)
4. What special interests do you have? (maybe a commenter will suggest a group for you to join in MyEC)
You can also blog about a topic that you are passionate about. Share an opinion about a current event in your country. A blog post does not have to be long. You can write one short paragraph!
Here are some more ideas for blog topics: I don't know what to blog
So, here's a challenge for you:
1) If you've never written a blog post, write a short one today. (share a link below after you write it)
2) If you've only written one blog post, write a second one. (share a link below after you write it)
3) If you've written many blog posts, share a link to your second one in the comments below.
Can you guess what my favourite number is? #2!
PS-It takes two to blog!
If someone leaves a comment, write a comment back. If no one leaves a comment, invite a friend or moderator to leave one. You can always ask me if I don't see your post. I wish I could comment on every post! I'm thankful to all of the bloggers on MyEC who leave comments. I sincerely hope that no blog is left behind.

Very nice reminder Tara,and a useful tip for new bloggers.
Every time I log in,I visit the blog section as well apart from My Page,to check out new and interesting posts.I adore reading and commenting blogs( and sometimes writing too:)-I've just realized,that I had written 18 blogs so far in 2011(not to mention the group discussions)...and it's just March,but unfortunately lack of time is my biggest enemy.
I also remember how I was afraid to write my first post,but getting positive feedbacks from nice EC members gave me a greater source of confidence and I slowly kept writing.
I try to read and comment my friends new posts at least,it is big deal indeed,as they are many.
In the future I will take care of blogs without any comment too,when I log in.
Thank you Tara!
This is a motivated idea that push and ancourage us as MyEC memebers to blog as much as possible for many purposes ( practising English writting skill and refreshing the vocabularies have been learnt). Beside, i see that the dynamic steps to write firsts blogs enhance bloggers advancement forward.
As for the comments, it's a great strategy to attracte more interested in reading as well as strenghten the relationship between the bloggers and readers so as to create a warmful and appointive atmosphere. In addition to fill bloggers motiavtion and ambition to continue in this path especially new memebers who are not used to practise writting.
Finally, i would like to share my second blog with you, and it would be a great moment when you read it Dream the source of future .
My favorite number is '3'.
There're 3 people in my family: I, my wife, my son.
I studied 3 years for my Master's degree, and another 3 years for my Doctorate (Ph.D).
What's your favorite number? Maybe you happen to like #2, just like Tara!
