Stake Your Claim

“Beginnings are the hardest part. Getting started, going from nothing to something,

can be difficult, and it is no small feat.”

J.D. Rucker, Sochable

Hater

“Hating, the result of being a hater, is not exactly jealousy.

The hater doesn’t really want to be the person he or she hates,

rather the hater wants to knock someone else down a notch.”

Urban Dictionary

“You can’t copy anybody and end with anything. If you copy, it means you’re working without any real feeling.”

Billie Holiday

Your Blog is Your Legacy

Tell stories with accuracy

Choose appropriate stories and leave others to memory

Handle storytelling gracefully

Give credit where credit is due

Polish before publishing, then again later, as needed

But don’t be afraid to tell the truth

The truth from your point of view

is what is interesting to your audience.

“Progressive Hacking”

Current “Look”: The Wilson Theme

Carolyn’s Nonprofit Blog Stats

“Think of your content as a single light in a dark forest … If you can get more people to turn on identical lights, the cumulative brightness will increase, and

you'll be able to attract more people from greater distances.”

Jayson DeMers, Search Engine Watch (August, 2014)

Time for Questions!
