Repeat After Me… {Tech Tuesday}

In high school English classes, some of us were given the following guidelines for writing an effective paper: tell us what you’re going to tell us (introduction), then tell us (body) and then tell us what you told us (summary). Sometimes that works, sometimes it does not. On the other hand, many of us were raised by adults who said something to the effect of “Don’t make me say this again…” Hmm. Vexing. Regardless of whether we should depend on repetition or not, it can be a valuable communication tactic. The ever-brilliant marketing guru Seth Godin has a few brief and insightful thoughts on the subject of repetition: http://bit.ly/ZBANZY

Tuesday Tips are not intended to reinvent the wheel and may not always be cutting edge to all of you – we just want to share some of the nifty things we run across on the blogosphere. We’re doing that uppity thing – curating – which in our minds is just a fancy interpretation of the mission of AWB to gather, grow and connect: gather you here, grow your voices and your lovely blogs, and connect you with one another and some helpful tips from time to time. If you run across an item you think would be worth posting, send it with subject “Tips” to beth@arkansaswomenbloggers.com. You can follow our “Tools & Tips” board on Pinterest or #AWBTips on Twitter. Share your fab finds and let us know what you think!

Swift Kick in the Bloggy Pants

Sometimes, we need a swift kick in the pants. Most of the consultants and gurus out there providing counsel and support for bloggers do it with a warm and fairly encouraging tone. Debbie Arnold of Dining With Debbie shared a link to with some interesting – and blunt – perspective on things the author wishes all bloggers would do. Like it or not, agree or not, there are some good pointers. Check it out and tell us what you think! http://dukeo.com/10-things-i-wish-all-bloggers-i-read-would-do/

A side note: thank goodness for Debbie – she is our very own sort of Bloggy Gladys Kravitz – not nosy per se, but always peeking through the blinds and keeping an eye on trends in the blogosphere to share with us – we love it! Thanks for this and the other tips, Debbie! The rest of you: see below if you have a tip or two to share!

Introducing Tuesday Tech Tips

 

Today, we are pleased to announce Tuesday Tech Tips here on Arkansas Women Bloggers. They’re a cross between Wordless Wednesday photos (i.e. short and sweet) and some of the longer posts we often share.image

Also, our goal is not to reinvent the wheel – we just want to share with you some of the nifty things we run across on the interwebs and the blogosphere. We’re going to do that uppity thing – curating – which in our minds is just a fancy way of defining the mission of AWB to gather, grow and connect:

Gather you here, grow your voices and your lovely blogs, and connect you with one another and some helpful tips from time to time. We hope you enjoy!

For today, we simply wanted to share the news, keep it short and sweet and tell you that you will also be able to keep up with our “Tools & Tips” board on Pinterest if you like.
