My blogging history

Many of you may know me as the girl who created ‘Justin Bieber Crew’. Ever since I was 11 years old, I’ve always been interested in all things Internet related…always creating blogs and social media pages for my hobbies and interests.

At the age of 11, I was somewhat of a ‘Club Penguin’ fan. Not only did I have almost every overly priced “CP” item available at the Disney Store, a monthly membership, and a severe addiction to the game; I also had my very own WordPress blog for this game/website. My WordPress site was linked to my current (at the time) username on CP, ‘Lozza2k8’, with the sub-domain being www.lozzalozza.wordpress.com. I had also created many more blogs on a variety of different domains, from ‘Webs’ and ‘Webeden’, to ‘Weebly’ and ‘Wix’. In the end I settled for WordPress, as it was more professional than some of the past builders I used.

I started to build my skills and knowledge on WordPress in my own free time, to try and create the best CP website. Obviously, it didn’t quite work out how I would have hoped, but this was just the beginning of me exploring different options and learning something new. Eventually, I grew out of the CP craze, got older, wiser and more mature. Well…saying that, I was only 12.

Not to repeat myself and state the obvious…but I’m going to anyway. I became an avid fan of the ‘Sarah Jane Adventures’ TV show based in the United Kingdom. So, what did I do about it? Before growing out of it, I created yet another couple of websites about it on both Blogger and WordPress. This didn’t hold my attention for long, but HEY! I managed to fill in a day or two of my not-so-hectic schedule. Can’t grumble.

Then came Bieber and the rest is history… For more information on my JBC journey, check out my next blog-post: My JBC Journey…
