Once upon a time I was a mewling babe in the blogging world. Sure, I had written before about the Utah Jazz, but I didn’t know anything about running a site. I had worked my way up the SB Nation ranks, but compared to the vets out there handling the other blogs I was a “know nothing rookie.” And they were right. One such veteran really helped me out though, J.R. Wilco of the San Antonio Spurs’ blog PoundingTheRock.com. J.R. spent hours and hours of his time trying to teach me things, trying to speed up my learning curve as I adjusted from ‘contributor’ to ‘manager’.
