Brittany’s Blog!

1. Engaging with other PR bloggers:  Use your RSS feed to read/comment/refer to other PR blogs on your blog.

2. Personal edge: Give yourself a unique tone that can be entertaining and create your own “niche.”

3. Implement theories/methods that you have learned.  Like Dr. V. said, most people don’t have access to all the tools we have so writing about what our PRinciples class or our PR book has taught us.

4. Go out of your way to post: Along with what you’re assigned or recommended to post, think outside the box.  Write your own opinions of situations that were discussed in class or other Communications that apply to PR.

5. Stay updated.  You will find it easier to write and keep your “juices flowing” if you don’t just forget about your blog for a few weeks!

I think there are many great posts that our PR class has posted that have really impressed me.  However, when asked to post about my “favorite” I would have to say that is Erin Martin’s Blog.   After looking through everyone’s blog, I finally decided that Erin’s blog was the most dynamic.  Earlier in the semester I noticed that she implements new posts from other classes such as her Libel on the Internet post.  I think her blog stands out because she doesn’t just write on what she is assigned to write on or on things that Dr. V. suggests us write on.  Instead, she goes out of her way to find interesting ideas to write about.  For example, her Sugar-coating in PR post clearly shows that she has an RSS feed and is constantly reading PR websites!  Also, I think it is really neat how she titled a post BeingEryn after Cheryl Harrison’s blog!
