Getting Started

      Hello!

     My name is Lauren King and I am currently a senior at the University of Northern Colorado, where I am taking a journalism class called "Reporting Contemporary Issues." This blog will focus on politics in Greeley as well as the upcoming presidential election. Our class will be attending Greeley City Council meetings every first and third Tuesday of the month and writing blog posts about topics during those meetings. I will also be covering the upcoming presidential election, which I am pretty excited about!
     I have never written in a blog before, so I'm pretty nervous about my thoughts being out there for for any Internet user to see. However, I think this will be a great experience and a nice change from most college assignments that I'm usually working on: research papers.
      Having no previous blogging experience, I'm looking forward to this awesome world. People from all over the world can write and post about virtually anything that interests them all with the click of a button.
    I hope that through this assignment, I will enjoy blogging and want to continue it after the class is finished with my own personal blog. I may even write a cooking blog. I look forward to this upcoming semester and hope to write a few stories that will get readers talking about politics, and maybe even Greeley, Colo.
