Blogit by TypePad … Test 123

November 8, 2009 nikkibutler Leave a comment

Test 2 … I am using Blogit by Typepad to make this post through my Facebook account. It is free through Facebook, but so far, it appears that you are not getting the true benefits of the Blogit application.

To get all the benefits, it appears you have to pay the monthly Typepad fee if you want to use the full capabilities.

>>> I am now using WordPress to clean up this post and summarize. Not so good for my first try. It doesn’t allow me to categorize the entry or spellcheck, and it made this same post six times!

The “Best” Rivalry Turns Professional

November 4, 2009 nikkibutler 5 comments

Nearly two years ago, I agreed to join the social media world. At the time, my motivation was my need to understand it for my target audience at work. Life was also simple, and my blog about food and travel was a fascinating new hobby. I knew social media was big and viral, but I had no idea how fast it would capture the attention of the boomer generation or traditionally conservative industries.

My life took a crazy turn, and I’ve barely been able to find a moment to write in the past year. Yet funny, I am back in the same position I was two years ago. It’s time to step up my social media game … for work.

And because I don’t have the time to write as much about food, travel and such (guilty pleasure when I do), I decided I needed to expand my focus for the blog that is a little more on the professional side. So today, I introduce a new professional category that will be my collection of ideas, tips, tools, gadgets and widgets galore.

Oh and why the new name? If you read through my posts, it is a rivalry of the best donuts, neighborhood restaurants, local deals … (a few posts have strayed recently for the worse) … and, now I return with a fresh, professional twist.
