Oh, the times they are a changing.

So, as I have previously stated I am currently enrolled in this great social media class. Recently we had a fantastic speaker, Laura Bower of The Tombras Group, come and talk to us about blogging and from her lecture I have since decided to make some changes to my blog.

Here are my notes from her discussion:

-       Blogging Do’s and Don’ts

o   Be informative (I think I am, sometimes)

o   Be candid (Definitely have this down)

o   Give a glimpse (hmm....)

o   Be consistent (Yea.....I don't think I'm doing this)

o   Post regularly (I try)

o   Always be yourself (I think I am ALWAYS myself)

o   Be professional (Ooops)

o   Be creative (I love creative)

o   Do not be in constant sales mode (I don't have anything to sell but my awesome self)

§  Blogs are about building relationships and trust (I think I am trustworthy, do you?)

o   Don’t be negative (NEVER!)

o   Don’t be too personal (I try my best, but sometimes life just happens)

§  Not a personal diary (but I don't have a diary)

o   Content is the most important thing (I love my content)

o   Don’t be thief (I always state if it ain't mine)

So, from the above list I have decided that I need to focus on my consistency. You all need to know what you are going to get from me, unless I just decide to surprise you, so I am going to try and follow the below list of how postings will go. Don't kill me if I sway from this or if I don't end up posting everyday. I will try my best, but I am only one person, I am a senior and I am trying to find a job.

Sunday: Word of the Day - I am going to take it back to the basics, the reason I started this blog.
Monday: Social Media - What is hip and happening in the social media world!
Tuesday: Music - I have a deep affection for music and I want to share that with you all.
Wednesday: Love - Yes, I'm a girl.
Thursday: Quotes
Friday: Life - I think this is pretty much the miscellaneous post.
Saturday: Photography - There is nothing more inspiring than seeing the world through a camera lens.

I am hoping to follow this schedule but you know what they say when you hope for something, "It's bond not to happen" (quote by me)

I would also like to thank Laura Bower once again for speaking to our class. Your energy was great and all your information has been extremely helpful!
