Being an organization's blogger involves not only writing for the blog, but also building relationships with other bloggers by reading them, linking to them, commenting on their blogs and inviting them to comment on your blog. A natural person to be the staff blogger is whoever writes the organization's newsletter or e-newsletter.

One of the things I have to do for my job at C3 on a regular basis is produce our monthly e-newsletter. Contrary to what the bloggers want you to believe, email is not dead. Way more folks subscribe to C3’s content via email as compared to Facebook, Twitter and RSS feeds combined. By a very wide margin.

If you've worked for a nonprofit, you know how painfully long it can take to put together a newsletter. Just because you have a blog, doesn't mean you should stop having an e-newsletter, or print newsletter. It's been said that people need to see an advertisement seven times before they will buy.

How much time, staff and money do you have to put into setting up your blog, writing your blog, answering comments, reading other blogs, and leaving comments on other blogs? In general, a blog is a different communication tool than say, a newsletter. The interns can be contributing bloggers, but they shouldn't be the lead blogger.

More newsletters? It is the relationships people form with each other that resonate and provide feelings of connection — much more than that weekly e-newsletter. To give up those opportunities because "we can farm that out," or "a newsletter will do," or "we're just too busy" amazes me!

An offline newsletter or meeting is very important in Ghana for instance for reaching people as they don???t But that really takes up time. The only downside is the additive nature of blogging, and it does consume a lot of time. s blogs feed (if you can deal with an overflow of posts that is.) I do say no at times.

I have been mulling this post over for months, and with some recent changes made by Facebook, the time has come. At a training last week with a lot of long-time Facebook Admins in the room, I saw much head-nodding and eyes rolling. I think the time has come for nonprofits to examine Facebook a little deeper. Reconsider.

And then, in April 1997, I became a blogger. I guess I thought it was time, but people looked at me strangely, so I stopped asking. This is really rewarding for me personally, because among this wave of bloggers are people like yourself who take a systems perspective to nonprofit technology. What keeps you motivated?
