Foodie's Galore

First we eat, then we do everything else.
— M.F.K. Fisher

Hello! My name is Karim and I am a foodie extraordinaire. I will be posting all about the hottest new restaurants in LA, rating my experiences from 1-10. The ambiance of the place, the flavors, and my overall experience will be a factor in my ratings. Food has always been a big part of my life growing up in a household where home cooked meals were a must. Every meal was carefully made with extra love. Food is more than 3 meals a day, its an art form, an act of kindness, a symbol of family and friendship. If you feel this way too, you are a certified foodie! Recently I went to this spot in Wilmington CA called Mi Pueblito. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by staff as if I was family. The traditional Mexican decor mixed with the decadent smell of spices, immediately made me feel at home. Mi Pueblito is most known for there chilaquiles dish, so naturally I had to order that. Upon taking my first bite, the fresh salsa verde mixed with the queso fresco made my taste buds explode! The sour cream on top added a nice cold touch that tied the dish together. Overall my experience at Mi Pueblito was a 9/10. They really out did themselves starting from the welcoming service, to the delicious food. If you like what I do here and want to join me in my next foodie adventure, please feel free to subscribe as I will be posting way more soon! Hope to see you there! As always, Bon Appetit!

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
What topics do you think you’ll write about?
Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
