   I really enjoyed the interview!! Tony, you asked some very insightful questions that many beginners (in blogging), including myself who would find it very useful. I reached out to Matt last month about his transition to web design without any experience and he did not hesitate to offer himself as a resource and told me not to be afraid to ask questions.(Tony) I just started my blog last week and I was wondering if we could chat about some ideas and questions that I have.
