Now I Get It

I have to admit that I have never really understood the allure of blogging. What's the big deal? It's just like typing an e-mail. Why is that revolutionary?

This trip has made a convert out of me. What a dynamic and organic way to communicate. I find myself sneaking peeks at the blog to see what's new, who's posting, who's commenting, and who's talking about us ... well, today our little site got a shout out on the National Association of Government Communicators blog. Aha, this is what it's all about. Buzz. Relevance. Timeliness.

I can't tell if it's this new blogging addiction that has me up in the wee hours of the morning on the northern coast of Africa or if it's the fact that my body still thinks it's only dinner time in Wyoming. What a day, but more about that tomorrow (or I guess I should make that today.)

Wendy,
So glad to hear you are having a terrific experience in Algiers. Please tell my Algierian friends hello from me. They were such gracious hosts and I too learned so much from my work with them in 2006. Please tell Steve hello, I am sure he is entertain your group and hosts! The motorcades are amazing, I felt like a movie start!
Glad to hear the technology workshop is going well. Maybe we will start blogging in the Wyoming Legislature soon!
Our weather in Wyoming is very snowy, in fact I am stuck in Ft. Collins with all the roads closed to Cheyenne and Laramie.
A bientot! Rosie
