			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I bought my domain a full seven months before launching this blog.  You see, I had a slight dilemma to solve before putting pen to paper, digitally speaking.</p>
<p>At first I thought I should pick a topic to blog about and create a niche for myself.  The trouble with that arose when I thought about how many other, more well-established (ok, established&#8230; at all) blogs were already out there on almost every topic imaginable.</p>
<p>I did a few searches on topics I thought I could create enough content to blog about, and quickly came to the conclusion that my assumption was completely correct, there were <strong>tons</strong> of blogs already created.</p>
<p>So then I started thinking that the blog should be about me.  This topic had a few attractions.</p>
<ol>
<li>I was really interested in me</li>
<li>I would always have something to write about without the limits of a &#8220;niche&#8221;</li>
<li>Did I mention the blog would be about me?</li>
<li>I&#8217;m a pretty interesting person, so the blog would <em>surely</em> be entertaining</li>
</ol>
<p>It was settled.  Screw a &#8220;niche&#8221;. The blog would be about me, me and more me.</p>
<p>That, naturally, brought up the easiest of easy questions to answer&#8230;. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Who Am I?</span></p>
<p>Well.. I am&#8230;</p>
<p>Hm.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>Hmm&#8230;</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;m a girl &#8211; slightly shorter than average &#8211; whose world tends to revolve around music, family and friends, traveling, digital marketing, sleeping in and devouring books like the world is running out of paper.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>About that whole music and digital marketing thing&#8230; see, the funny thing was, is that those were the topics I originally wanted to write about in this very blog.</p>
<p>It seems I&#8217;ve come full circle.</p>
<p>Officially, this blog is about music and digital marketing. More specifically, how digital marketing has influenced music, and how the industry is (or isn&#8217;t) adapting to the new landscape. Unofficially it will feature many posts about music and digital marketing, and a few more about random topics.</p>
<p>Please a comment and introduce yourself.  I&#8217;d like to get to know my readers!</p>
