Week #12 – All Good Things Must Come to an End… Or Must They??

Even as I write this post I am accutely aware of the fact that in less than 48 hours my Spring 2011 semester will be OVER!

Don’t get me wrong. I really enjoyed this semester – particularly this class. But the spring weather is calling my name and I am more than willing to answer the call!

But what does this sudden departure from the regular academia check ins really mean for me? And more importantly, what does it mean for this blog??

Well, I’ll be honest and say right up front that my hopes for this particular blog are rather slim. I created it specifically for this class, and while I may be tempted to post up here at some point, I wouldn’t advise you to hold your breath on that one!

But that’s not to say that I’m giving up on blogging completely. In fact, just the opposite. You see, what I’ve learned most from our social media class is the importance of providing regular, rich content for your audience so that they are inspired to keep coming back again and again.

You may remember, I have this other blog that is a little more dear and near to my heart. But I struggled with finding the time to write up there regularly. I see now that part of the reason was because I spent a lot of time writing like I was writing a newspaper article and not a blog post. That’s the second piece that I’ve learned from this class (and this blog). By allowing myself a little more freedom and flexibility in my writing, I can afford to be more spontaneous and therefore I feel more comfortable posting something up that (while might not be suitable for a document going to a client) is the perfect place for me to dump my thoughts and musings.

Yes, this class and our weekly blogging assignment has been a rewarding challenge and I am excited to take the tricks of the trade that I’ve learned here and apply them to my personal blog. In fact, I take back what I said earlier. I will post at least one more blog to this site…  the one were I unveil my revamped personal blog and show of my steller skills!

But for now, it’s about that time…

Until next time…

(I couldn’t resist.. just one more!)
