Raised Eyebrow Blog

I’m working on preparing a “How to Blog” workshop for a client this month and have been scouring the web for follow up resources to leave the workshop participants with. Now I  happen to be a pretty big CBC Radio 1 geek and am in particular a fan of Nora Young’s show Spark (not suprisingly since it merges my love of public radio and technology into one smart package), and last year she did a great series with web vet Merlin Mann that stands as a kind of Blogging 101.  There’s a summary of the series with 6 pretty short podcasts that are well worth a listen if you’re struggling with how to start a blog or, like me, feeling like you could brush up on your current blogging technique. The lesson that I’ll be taking from the series and trying my darnedest to apply this year? Just write. You don’t need to worry about publishing all your blog posts, but get back in the habit of writing them (if you’ve fallen out of it like I have) and then publish the ones you think are worth it.

(PS: If you’re on the Twitter train you can be like me and follow Spark and Nora).
