Let’s not embarrass ourselves Pick a vendor (Drew = Typepad.com)Typepad.com Design or template decision List of potential posts Source for visuals Practice for 30 days (get a coach)

Read. Observe. Learn.

Comment. Communicate. Connect.

It’s a share and share alike mentality You are part of a bigger community You need to build your own community Bloggers reach out & help/support other bloggers It’s personal (to a degree)

Links out = blog currency Comment (stage one) Refer/Point to (stage two) Blog roll (stage three)

Technorati.com

How do you build a community? You go to them (read/comment) You put out the welcome mat Quality content Quick to respond to comments Easy navigation/design You ask open-ended questions You share resources

The PDF

Toolbox

Make it easy for your community To reach you -- give them choices To comment To subscribe

But in the end…it all boils down to content Be real. Be relevant. Be a resource. Be a value.

Always remember… It’s not about you. Or your organization. Remember that in the short term and it will be about you and your organization in the long term.
