Here, in visual form (courtesy of wordle) is what I’ve written about on this blog in the past year. There’s nothing like doing a wordle based on the feed of your blog to show you exactly where you’ve been spending your digital time. It’s like printing a list of your entire Google search history and [...]
I was pretty fired up and then wrote a veritable novel over at the Journal Record PR blog today. Thought I’d post the link here for those of you who read this blog but not that one (the content on the Journal Record is paid, EXCEPT THE BLOG… that is free!) If you want to [...]
Radio-style interview I did with Doug Stewart of Power to Fight the Big Boys about using social media and PR to effectively market small businesses and achieve the results you want in your efforts.

I don’t write as much about Public Relations on this blog because I write A LOT about Public Relations over on the Journal Record’s PR blog. This week’s PR post is about Waste Mangement COO Larry O’Donnell’s trip to the trenches to experience what his employees actually do during their work day and the chronicling [...]
