Spanish language Blog to learn Spanish by ZadorSpain language schools

This is my first post and despite of it is not about Spain or Spanish language, and therefore I do not follow the advices of my teachers and many expert bloggers, I really need to write a “thanks” review to all of them.

First, thanks to Sergio Monge from Taller 3d: blog sobre comunicación to introduce me into the world of blogs, to open my mind to a new way of communication, thanks for his expertise and for sharing so many tools with us. For instance, I was absolutely lost and surrounded by acronyms, pings, rankings, posts… but after reading the fantastic tutorial he gave us, I have started to use all these words!!

Thanks to Gorka Julio from Elurnet, for filling my brain with RSS, ATOM, feed creators, readers, and many other words that I only can imagine the meaning, thanks for his passion talking about microformats and for the precise and clear material he gave us and… now I have included some of them in Zadorspain website, and it’s incredible: they work!! For instance, I feel myself like an expert: a great feeling!! 

Thanks to Iñaki Lakarra from Mondragon University, for keeping my feet on the ground, making me feel inexperienced, and showing me some misconceptions and mistakes. After being depressed, I now realise that I have learned a lot and that I can correct my mistakes. At least, some of them, but you know, man is the only animal that keeps running into the same brick-wall a thousand times, so I’ll mess it up again back, I’m sure, and I’ll correct some things again, that is, I WILL LEARN!!

Thanks to J.A.Moral from Alianzo, for showing me that we need to be in community, we need to participate with others, that the Web is not so different from the real life: we live with others, we say hello and talk about the weather with our neighbours, we talk with Leyre in the bar in front our school about the news and… we gossip about other clients. And we need to do the same in Internet: we need to communicate, we need to be in a social network.  !!

Thanks to Julen Iturbe from Consultoría artesana en red for his dose of realism, making me ask myself about everything related with blogs, virtual communities, and… the sense of my life. He gave us a fantastic quote… not only to know a little bit more about ourselves but also for Spanish teachers to work with advanced students (of course, we received it in Spanish).

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done .

Surfing on the Internet, we find the probable source of this small story.

I met all of them at some courses organized by Araba Enpresa Digitala in the Miñano Technology Park, near Vitoria, in Alava. The Basque Government sponsors the program within the Plan “The Basque Country in the Information Society.” 

Moreover, looking for more info on the Internet, I found hundred of interesting blogs. They helped me to organize me before starting. Among all of them I take some advices from:  

• Darren Rowse in Problogger, with Building a Blog Plan for Success, with really good ideas to start blogging.

• Andy Wibbels and his Editorial Calendar to post. I needed some structure as neewy to organize. He offers, in my opinion, a very good plan, establishing a topic for each day of the week, a certain category to post in, a certain type of post format…

Well, theoretically we are prepared to start blogging … We will see.
