Will be out of the blogosphere…
Posted by: Kate D. on: May 26, 2010
Hi all, Just a note that I will be out of the blogosphere for the next few days. If you nip over to my resume, you’ll see that I’m the current PR Manager for the Phoenix Comicon. Well, the convention is this weekend! I’ll be back after the convention with a sum-up blog post. Look [...]

What is blogging? A newsletter story.
Posted by: Kate D. on: May 22, 2010
Who all has ever read a newsletter? I mean a tried-and-true, got-it-in-the-mail newsletter? I may have touched one, once. I think I may have even read a few articles from it. But I’ve read plenty of blogs or e-newsletters. The funny thing is, isn’t the digital version exactly the same as the original? My bubbie [...]

This week I have a list of How To’s for you. As always these are some of the articles I’ve enjoyed over the past week or so. I didn’t see anything that made me laugh out load this week, so I’m going back in time to a panel of a web comic I enjoy. You [...]
Use social networking!
Posted by: Kate D. on: May 15, 2010
My loyal readers will know by now that I’m a Linked In groupie. I go on every day, so if you want to get a hold of me, there are few better ways. So while I was enjoying my morning Answers bonanza (Answers being the Linked In area where people ask questions and then… answer them), [...]
Go on. Give it a go!

The experience of trying to get to graduate school has taught me many lessons I hope others can learn from. I’m currently going though the process. I already got in. Now I just need to get there. It’s like seeing a door wide open but realizing there’s a really big chasm between you and it. That chasm’s [...]

Every week I endeavor to provide three links to interesting stuff on the Internet. Sometimes they are new. Sometimes they are new to me. And sometimes they’re just plain cool. This week, I have social media, Gen Y, and a mobile home commercial so honest, it hurts. I mean, it. Physical pain from laughter. Social [...]
Using Volunteering to Get Experience
Posted by: Kate D. on: May 1, 2010
I’ve been known to advocate volunteering as a handy way to gain experience. And it is. I volunteer for the Phoenix Comicon. It’s a pop-culture and general “geek” convention. I handle their PR.
