On Tuesday 2-28, Dave Rhea from The Journal Record (a great business newspaper for Oklahomans) came to talk to our class about blogging. He had a lot of great information to offer. Some of what I took is the following:
1. Blog consistently. If you don't consistently post something you will lose the attention of your followers. This tip really made me think that I should post more often.
2. Share your opinion. Don't be afraid to take a stand. This to me is important, I am taking it in maybe a different way than Mr. Rhea may have meant. I take it as not taking sides on controversial issues, yet I am taking this advice as sharing what I feel is important.
3. Love learning. I love this statement. No matter what you do in life this is important. We live in a World that is constantly changing, no matter what you do for a living or just life in general, we must love learning new things to stay current.
Dave Rhea was an awesome guest and I took a lot from what he had to say. To look at his work and the work of the other journalists at The Journal Record click here.
I need to do the first one more often. I know that I need to get better at blogging on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteI think that sharing your opinion is necessary but can be a scary thing. It can also be fun to see what others think.
ReplyDeleteKeep the advice coming! I know nothing about 'accurate ways to blog' so i'm all about the random. But I like having some direction!
