Have Fun - Do Good

MAY 9, 2011

Inspired by Kalyn Denny's new Meatless Monday column on BlogHer , I decided to cook five meatless meals for dinner last week. The version I've linked to on the Food Network is a little different than the one in the book, but I'm sure it's still good. Meatless Monday is a nonprofit initiative of The Monday Campaigns. Happy cooking!

I attended the " Twenty-Something Meet Up " at the BlogHer Conference. I keep hearing from nonprofits that one of the reasons they want to incorporate a social networking or media strategy is to reach a younger audience. A blog network will be launched in about another month. Why did I go? Blogs by Gen Y. Media Awaken.

It goes into the topic of social networking analysis.huh? Going on with the traffic metaphor, there was a comment that building traffic takes time, " particularly from RSS subscribers who must be convinced that the blog is worth investing the time to read and therefore subscribe." that's a universal metric standard.
