Starting the blog

I chose the name ‘Realizing Me’ because it fit the theme of what I was going for: self-realization, and it was available in not only WordPress but also as Realizingme.com and Realizing.me . I’m planning on moving the blog to a different server when the traffic grows. I have too much writing to do it now!

I’m starting off with the site at WordPress because I already have a blog there (a personal one for family and friends) and it works with Windows Live Writer, which has made my blogging much easier.

I’m currently looking into purchasing RealizingMe.com and Realizing.Me from   GoDaddy so they’ll be available when I need them. I doubt I’ll host the site with them since it’s kind of hard to import a wordpress site to their servers but I don’t have to worry about them as much for the name. Let’s see how that goes…

I’ve had a great deal of time to start thinking about my life and where I want to take it. I’ve started writing a lot; articles, short stories, blog posts and even the start of a couple of novels. I read over and over that you need to write a blog about something that interests you or that you know about. Then it hit me: The only thing I really know is me and what I want in life – and that changes with every day…
