Help a blogger teach others about blogging

CollegeWebEditor.com‘s Karine Joly will present a four-hour (!) workshop on blogging at the AMA Symposium for Higher Education next month, and as part of her prep work for that workshop, she’s looking for some insight from her fellow higher ed bloggers (as well as her non-blogging readers). I thought I’d help Karine out by extending the invitation to readers of this blog (even though I know there’s quite a bit of crossover readership).

Karine wants to know:

Is there anything you’d like to know about blogging in a higher ed setting?
or, if you’re a blogger yourself, is there anything you wish you had known before starting your blog?

Please share your insights with Karine, not here. (I never thought I’d be asking readers to not comment on my blog.)

Free ebook on ‘getting started in social media’

My friend Rob Williams (aka OrangeJack) announces the publication of a free ebook designed to help businesses and individuals get started in social media. This brief (11-page) primer may be too nuts-and-bolts for many readers, but those of you new to new media may find it worthwhile. Take a look and decide for yourself.
