welcoming Arnold Katonya to the ourwwworld team

I've invited Life in Africa member Arnold Katonya to join the ourwwworld team of people learning to blog sustainably from and for Africa. It is my hope that we can develop this space together in a way that puts the online communication skills Arnold has acquired as a LiA community member to a sustainably productive use.

To Arnold: nobody is watching yet except you and me, so start writing! Between now and 1 November, I will work on customizing the look of your blog for you, while you work on creating at least 5 new posts. Once you have 5 posts, then we will start working on inviting an audience to see what you've created. There will be some stuff happening in November that might earn you some cash, so that's why the 1 Nov deadline for 5 posts. After that you can slow down to about 2/week.

Please decide on a name and a short description for your blog to help me figure out how to decorate it, and for the purpose of listing it in blog directories. For title/description ideas you can visitthe ourwwworld team blog and from there you can reach the other team member blogs to see what they've done. You can change the title / description yourself if you are logged into blogger by clicking on customize (top right of your screen) and editing the page header. If you have challenges doing that, then send the title and description to me by email and i can do it for you.

Meanwhile, please subscribe by email to the ourwwworld team blog where I'll be posting some relevant tips and bigger picture knowledge that will help you build a sustainable blog.

Hugs and blessings to you. Have fun, and good luck!
