Another great opportunity you have with a blog is opening up your organization by allowing comments and dialogue. And no, the possibility of getting a “bad&# comment is not enough to disable the option for people to share their ideas, support and encouragement. MoveableType. Squarespace.

If you look in the comments , there was a lot of discussion and on nonprofit blogs about whether number of followers is a meaningful indicator or can be translated into value for nonprofits. So, this sent me over to my new typepad metrics dashboard to see what the impact might be. Leave a comment!

I learned something today from two of my readers, Nick Temple and Michele Martin about to add the "Share on Facebook" and "Digg This" links to your posts automatically on typepad. I would like to see if number of comments correlates. These options might be called " Social Media Optimization " (more here ).

One of his posts, called " The New Permalinks " mentioned that he replaced the words "permalink" in the typepad blog with the actual title of the post. I'd also like to know how to add the "bookmark this post in delicious" feature that Marshall is using on typepad. Maybe Michelle would know? Thanks Albert!

His comment made me reflect over the past 32 years of working in the nonprofit sector. He applies Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to his career in business and his leadership style. One of the many inspiring things he shared in his talk was the phrase: “ You can have a job, career, or calling.&# It resonated.

My blogging platform, Typepad, does not have a way to easily and automatically measure the number of posts and words in post in a given time period. Conversation habits in the comments in the blogs - it's what makes them a social media. Conversation Rate = Number of Visitor Comments / Number of Posts. A time consuming pain.
