How to Start a University Blog
This is part of the Blogging for Grasshoppers series
Since our university launched its first official blog, the question I keep hearing is: how did you do it?

Play that funky music
I’ve said it before, but I’m gonna say it again: I’m a bit of a music freak.
Anytime I can take some time away (be it in business or pleasure) to jam out to a good tune or two, I’m a happy camper. It could be Marvin Gaye, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Kid Koala or a studio performance by John Legend & The Roots – I don’t care.
If it’s got a good vibe, I’m there.
There’s a lot you can learn from musicians and their music: they can help express a thought or feeling in 4 minutes or less.
The right song can lift your mood on a bad day; and a band has the ability to rally an organization to an important cause with a fitting melody.
