Guest Speaker

Today in Blogging for Journalist we had a guest speaker, Kurt Hochenauer.  He is the writer of a liberal blog called Okie Funk.


I found it really interesting to hear about the beginning of his blog, how often he post and about some of the back lash he has encountered.


I like knowing that he post honestly and doesn't mind hearing what others have to say/complain about his opinion.  A lot of people write about the things that are driven by anger but his tend to be honest and not just a rand about what is going on.  It is refreshing to read intelligent opinion about our government.


Knowing that Doc Hoc does not include ads because he does it out of enjoyment instead of for money is great to hear. He also spoke about how tags are a good thing and actually showed us the impact they can make as well. 


All in all it was very informative!
