Tagging

I think working in a Library gives me a great appreciation for tagging. It’s a constant organization of information!

It seems helpful to organize my blogs, for the moment I’m trying to figure out how to make my tagging cloud look more appealing. Perhaps I need a different theme?

RSS feeds

Unfortunately, I missed the class that explained RSS feeds! Luckily, a fellow classmate advised me (thanks Thomas!) This video also helped!

I think I didn’t like using reader in the past because I had to keep up with things that I am not terribly interested in, thus creating a cluttered Reader that I never wanted to check. Nothing worries me more than a clutter e-mail box, and this was no different.

Now however, I’ve found them to be quite useful! As a hobby of mine, I manage a few other social networking sites besides the infamous Dewey McGnome and my personal ones. I’m part of a theatre group and am helping my friend push her new bar & grill out to the public. I’ve found it useful to start following theater news and restaurant blogs to help spark status updates and other possible inspirations.

Also, I found it useful to subscribe to a few social media law blogs that could help shape the way I use social media in the future. I think the biggest part about social networking is to constantly be learning how to use new tools.

A friend of mine is currently seeking employment and I’ve subscribed to a few job sites that could help update her on the most recent posts without having to open 10 individual websites.

RSS feeds seem to be a huge success this time around! I’m pretty sure I’ll keep using them.

Now what?

Now that I’ve successfully created this blog, it’s time to start using it wisely!

I’ve attempted blogging before, and I quickly discovered that maintaining a blog requires time, effort and an ongoing search of information. Unfortunately, every time I start a blog, I tend to run out of inspiration rather quickly.

I hope to find topics that will keep this blog going. I’ve always been amazed at how social media helps highlight the success of non-profit organizations. If at all possible, I would like to mix my interests and gather information in the following topics: marketing, social media, theater, and graphic design.

Since I work in a Library, I would like to learn ways to help establish a solid online presence for our Library. I feel I’m surrounded by many experts that could help pave the way, and I hope blogging will only help add to my social media knowledge.

I’m also part of a theater group and I hope to learn blogging techniques that will help shine light on our future goals. Also, I plan on keeping up with theater blogs in the Houston area.
