The idea of blogging is not only to publish but also to engage with the community because blogs are considered to inspire and sharpen one’s thoughts.

After #UgBlogWeek, (still reading and re-visiting those beautiful blogs) I was asked if Facebook can be used as a blogging platform and if so how can one do it. This is what I think in regard to that. And these are not comprehensive views that are a must follow, we all blog for different reasons.…

Right now as I write this a number of people are wondering how to get involved in the #UgBloggers7days and #SMUg14 blog challenges and where to post their stories. As the introduction blog to #UgBloggers7days said, (paraphrasing) many bloggers are in slumber land and others have never even ventured in these lands, I think some…

When I was growing up, my father used to say that a name was the most important thing in a society. I now agree with him, your name is your brand, it speaks values for you before anyone sees you. “You are your own brand” I always say. My brand is PKahill, it speaks for…
