NatBloPoMo

One of  my favorite lines from a movie is from Carrie Fisher’s character in “When Harry Met Sally,” when she says several times throughout the film, “You’re right, you’re right…I know you’re right.”  In the film her delivery makes it hysterical, in real life it’s one of those quotes that come to mind at the right moment – and even funny if your audience catches the reference.

I caught myself doing the ol’ V-8 slap to the forehead today when I read a post on the HARO blog, “Is your Social Media Expert Really an Expert.”  It’s a good post to check out if you are looking for advice about this “social media stuff” and written by some experts that really are expert.  Number 15 on their list jumped out to me — an active blog means at least two new posts a month. You’re right, you’re right….

The need to update has been weighing on me lately as I’ve been consulting several clients about the importance not only of having a blog but of having a plan to keep it updated, topical and responsive if one is going to go through the effort of launching.  Logging in to my WordPress account to reactivate this blog I read that it is National Blog Posting Month – who knew?  The NatBloPoMo construct made me laugh – though I have to say it’s memorable. NatBloPoMo suggests one post something new every day for the month of July.

Every day may be a bit much, but in an effort to walk the talk – I’ll commit to be here at least every week in July.

In other news — stay tuned to this blog and www.greatcommunicate.com for our new logo and visual idenity to appear soon.  The logo and business cards are receiving rave reviews and if anyone is looking for an outstanding designer let me know.  A post on why good design is still a critical communications element is coming soon.
