Two Different Blog Styles I Love Both Of Them

Two Different Blog Styles â€" I Love Both Of Them Im preparing my monthly You Get It award post (Ive found an excellent winner you should see it this week) and wanted to share a couple of blogs that Ive come across that are, in my opinion, excellent. Hopefully some of the ideas here can help you as you think about your own personal branding through simple blog technology. First, Steve Wilson has a blog titled WayPoint (you can find it at http://stevewilson.wordpress.com). Ill tell you right now, Ive never been impressed by blogs that chart out a job search (Im talking about the ones that say what you are doing daily, how many interviews you are doing, what the results are and speculation about companies or positions). Steve doesnt really do this Steve is the first in-transition blogger that Ive found that blogs about career things on a higher level. Here are some of his excellent posts (when I read these I can tell they are coming from a thoughtful, wise thinker): Practice Interviews Career success The Myth of Who You Know If Im a hiring manager and I come across his blog Im going to get a much better feel for what he thinks about, how he communicates, etc. I think this is great stuff and shouldnt be intimidating for you to think about doing yourself (although Id suggest that you choose topics that you want to exemplify, with regard to your personal brand). Second, Jane Greer is an e-mail friend that I met a couple of months ago, a professional editor who was not very comfortable with the idea of starting/maintaining a blog. Well, she started a blog called Terrierista. Each of her posts has a quality that is hard to find in the blogsphere but dont let that scare you from blogging. Here are some of the things that Jane does that I love: Her titles are clever Her writing is pristine I would not expect anything less from her but its awesome to see an editor show her stuff Her preparation in each post is thoughtful she chooses links and fonts with care to allow me to read easier and take me to great sites/blogs Her theme is really cool she loves terriers (thats why part of her title is terrierista) actually, her very first post (that awkward first post!) was probably the coolest first post that Ive ever read (update 3/24/07 I just found it and linked back to it). You must know that I like dogs but dont want a dog at my house (I have kids to clean up after, I dont need something else to clean up after). Her style brings in characteristics of terriers but doesnt feel like a doggy blog. She has excellent pictures to complement her posts. Ill stop here I just wanted to share two different blogging styles that I think are really cool in my quest to get you to quantify your personal brand with a blog Two Different Blog Styles â€" I Love Both Of Them Im preparing my monthly You Get It award post (Ive found an excellent winner you should see it this week) and wanted to share a couple of blogs that Ive come across that are, in my opinion, excellent.
