Falling in love with blogging again

Posted April 12th, 2008 by Megan Taylor

Zac Echola reminded me yesterday what this blog is about and why I started it.

  • 1. A networking blog should be a living document of your professional self. You should stay focused on topics that matter to people who may hire you. You should start reading blogs from people in your field.
  • 2. When someone makes you think, you should think out loud on your site. Have a conversation with others. Email people questions. Chat with them on twitter. Get to know people. Working a blog isn’t much different than working a room at a conference. Stay focused.
  • 3. Show off your work. When you do something good, show it off. Don’t be bashful.
  • 4. SEO the crap out of yourself.
  • 5. Seize every opportunity you can.
  • 6. Always remember that there’s a real human being on the other side of the machine.

I've been really bad at updating lately, and I'm going to work hard to fix that, starting with a bunch of updates on what I've been doing lately. I think short posts are preferred, so I'll split things up. Keep an eye out for stuff on Twitter, Google Maps, Django and more.

View Comments so far.

    I think I’m a bit guilty of neglecting my blog too.
