Welcome to Epiblogger and welcome to 2008. Lee and I have been working for the last couple of months getting everything setup for launch day and now that I am here I am nervously excited to see how Epiblogger as a blog and as an idea grows and changes.
I came up with the name Epiblogger by merging Epi meaning center and blogger meaning one who blogs. From this name, we came up with a pithy slogan—The organic center of blogging. Epiblogger has a meaning that is three-fold. The first meaning is that we hope and will strive to make Epiblogger a leader in the blogging world. Second, the name Epiblogger allows us to grow and cover all aspects of blogging. Finally, though we can cover everything that is concerns bloggers, we will focus on the true center of blogging, which is writing.
It is our goal to help, challenge and inspire you to be a better writer. It is my goal to be a better writer. I plan to do this in many ways and some of those are ideas are not yet realized. Which brings me back to the tagline and specifically to the word organic. By organic we do not mean that you should plant a tree, buy a certain type of food or recycle—it is, however, a good idea. I do mean that good writing is not genetic, but found in our willingness to be open and grow. Writing is something everyone has to work at and tend to.
The word organic implies more than just the act of writing, but a new way of approaching a blog (and I daresay life) and this is a subject that I will be covering in the months to come—perhaps until I grow out of it.
There are many things to look forward to but in the mean time please introduce yourself, take a thought for your blog and enjoy the life that comes with the new year.
