Obligatory First Post

The maiden voyage into the blogosphere is upon me. I'm here!

After several months of procrastinating and a additional 20 minutes devoted to choosing a blog layout and color, Cammunications is created. Just in time for the start of National Unassisted Homebirth Week, no less.

Blogging is not foreign to me. I've been an avid reader of several blogs for the past couple years. Writing and contributing to them, on the other hand, is a different story. I've been toying with the idea of creating a blog for sometime now. Ideas ran through my head and even more flew out my mouth. What did I have to say? And what would people want to read?

Plus, if I'm going to be an 'expert' on social media I figure participating in it, might be a helpful.

So, here goes...
