February 24, 2017

This week our guest is Jorge Torres a technology junkie with latin roots. While we share a passion for technology we also share a love for the New England Patriots. While attending the VTUG Winter Warmer the Tech Stand UP crew caught up with Jorge to discuss and answer some questions on Blogging.Jorge just started his blog Kolkes.Com, where he plans on diving deep into virtualization and sharing with the world. As we know getting advice from people who have been blogging for years, definitely helps! That is exactly what we talk about in this weeks episode.We walk through the journey of getting inspired by the content he consumed. This passion and desire to give back is what drove Jorge to start his blog. Being an engineer on a daily basis, he enjoyed learning from others but realized that by him creating the content he was able to remember the content. A major trend is for new bloggers to  have a senior or respected member of the community to turn too. Ariel Sanchez is that person for Jorge, with Ariel’s Latin community give back through the vBrownbag, gave him a rapport which turned into a trusted friendship and mentor. This has me thinking, what inspires you?Show NotesJorge’s first time appearing as a guest on a podcastDiscuss how he was inspired by the community blogs and presentationsTalk about different blog platforms available and where to startMentor – having someone in the community take you under their wing and provide guidance and accountabilityCreating content that others have created is ok, as this allows for you to retain the informationUsing blogs as a self repository on how you fixed a problem.
