I got some good advice from my good friend, Garrick, today about starting a blog:

“My recommendation would be to start a blog and regularly (minimum – once every couple of days) write/post about what you think is interesting in the field/line of work that interests you. Add the url to your email sig.  I say blog – because it’s the easiest to set up, publish, and maintain.

Simultaneously (say on alternate days) add insightful, thoughtful comments to blog posts you think are interesting – pointing to your blog. 

It’s all about getting your name out there – associated with the themes and topics you’re interested in doing work on.

There’s lots there.

Lots.

If I had 1 recommendation, it would be: Start.

Doesn’t have look good out of the gate. Posting is most important.

How’s that sound?”

Sounds pretty dang good!  Good advice for the newbies.
