   Loraine – I enjoyed your presentation and got a lot out of it. I will get to the point of setting up a blog but I want to be sure I will have enough of value to say.

   Your two checklists will eventually be very useful to me.

   Thanks.

     Joe,
     I’m glad you enjoyed the presentation. I’m sure you have a lot of value to talk about on a blog. Why not try brainstorming with a colleague and talk through some ideas?
