Six Months of Blogging

Tweet

This is just a quick blog post to celebrate my six months of blogging.  The experience of blogging has been fun and interesting.  I have learned a lot in my research and it has also connected me to many other companies, organizations and other such things.  In the last six month, you could say I have developed a hobby for blogging.

April has by far been my best month for blogging page views, although it has not been my best month for getting in posts.  I have done a lot of work on the layout and branding myself online, using my branding tips.  Kraft Hockeyville was also amazing at the beginning of the month and last month.

This is currently my sixth post this month, with it being my 116^th post in the last six months.  The 15^thof April, 2011 was the real anniversary of my blogging.  Here is my week late celebration post.

NFL Lockout 2011 News

What is going to happen to the NFL next season?

Now that the NFL and the NFLPA did not come to an agreement, this fight has become messy.  After a short time limit the NFL players union decertified.  This led to some players filing an anti-trust lawsuit against the NFL.

May 12^th, court with resign in front of Judge Doty and should be an interesting day for NFL fans.  The 2011 NFL season could be court ordered to continue with the season.  The other opinion would be to renegotiate the terms between the two sides, which the football season would than continue during the negotiations.  If that happens the players would mostly likely strike.

Tips on How to Brand Yourself

Tweet

Branding is important in life not only just for companies.  Everything you wear and do reflexes on your image/brand.  That image/brand can affect every type of relationship you ever have with anyone you have a relationship with-in your life. 

You can read more about personal branding and its affects in my post titled “Personal Branding: All or Nothing”. 

Over the past couple weeks I have been working on branding myself.  It has taken longer than needed but I had started to enjoy designing my self-image/brand and had gotten carried away.

I had a self-branding assignment as my last assignment in the digital design program with-in the Loyalist PR program at Loyalist College. Once I had designed my first self-branding design I had taken it to a few trusted friends around the school and past instructors from the business program at Loyalist College.   During the past couple week I have learned there is no perfect branding.

You will never amaze everyone. 

Everyone has their own sense of design.  Most important you can’t express everything in one design.  When thinking about branding yourself or a company; here are some key tips:

1.       Be Creative, don’t use a template.

2.       Remember that it represents you; your design should also represent you.

3.       Less is more; don’t over crowd your design.

4.       Color: don’t use too many color; once again less is more, try to pick 2 or 3 colors that represent you.

5.       Like your own design.

6.       Use it and distribute it.

Creativity is key when designing your image/brand.
In my opinion,
