Now that the Web Content Awareness Day 2007 web site has launched, and you’ve had a chance to read the first few articles I’ve posted in this blog, I’d like to ask YOU what kind of advice you need, related to PR and marketing. I may set up a survey, but for right now, if you’re willing to email me, I’ll try to answer your questions in future posts or articles.
By the way…who ARE my readers? Could you tell me a bit about yourself—whether you are an entrepreneur, corporate employee, manager or executive, work for a nonprofit, are an author, artist, performing artist, etc., so I have more of an idea who is reading this blog for advice. Please mention your level of experience in doing PR and marketing campaigns, what relevant issues keep you awake at night, and what specific guidance you are seeking here.
A few people asked if you can post comments on this blog—yes, you can, and your comments are welcome. When you click the link to post a comment, if you’re not already registered with WordPress, you’ll get a simple screen asking you to register for WordPress. All that means is you need a username and password. You will NOT be required to sign up for a WordPress blog—although that might be a good idea—and you will not be spammed with email from WordPress. I will review comments before posting them, mainly to make sure they’re relevant to the topic posted, and that they’re respectful of other posters’ opinions, even if you disagree. Mainly, I just want to keep the discussion focused on the topic at hand.
By the way, I tried a switcheroo today—I started this blog using the free Andreas Orange WordPress theme, and now, I’m trying the Sandbox theme. Ultimately, I hope to customize my blogs, with help from a CSS expert—anyone out there who may want to help me? Just shoot me an email. Let me know what you think of the switch, too, as I can always switch back.
What’s really interesting is how different Sandbox looks in Firefox (where the headings are ORANGE and the links are ORANGE), and Safari (where the headings are PURPLE and the links are BLUE.) In Firefox, there are also orange borders around my logos, whereas in Safari, no borders—the logos just seem to float in white space. I have not tried looking at the Sandbox theme in Explorer or Netscape yet—that should be interesting! Go figure…maybe a CSS expert can show me how to make the colors consistent and help me change the font, which I’d really love to do.
More PR and marketing tips are coming soon…meanwhile, always feel free to email me or subscribe to my e-letter, which has even more great PR, Social Media and Marketing Mentor tips!
