Okie Funk

Okie Funk by Professor Kurt Hochenauer is a very interesting blogger. His blog is based on liberal and populist information in Oklahoma. I will admit that the base of his blog is not something I would read on my own time but his blog presentation was very informative. Hochenauer talked about why he really blogs and what drives him to continue.

There are many reasons why people blog (personal interest, hobby, class credit) but Hochenauer says he feels its his responsibility to write. Hochenauer normally writes 3 times a week and his ideas unfold as he sits in a recliner with a cup of coffee. Although Hochenauer has received threats and anonymous letters in the mail from outside viewers, that has not stopped him from speaking his truth. He admits that there is a need for liberal media in Oklahoma but blogging is also something that keeps him sane.

Not only did Hochenauer talk about his own experiences when it comes to blogging but he shares some tips on how to have a successful blog. Below are some helpful tips that helped me and that I will consider.

• Find a good platform to start a blog
• Never cut post (keep a schedule and if anything post more)
• Be unique 
• Be a GOOD WRITER!!
