Social blogging dilema for Mark Edward Brown

Mad Man Image     I have spent the better part of an entire weekend working on the layout and overall look of this blog and I am still not 100% happy with it.  I decided to change this blog layout to a 3 column blog – all that means is that there is a skinny column on the left, a large column in the middle for the main post or article and then another small column over there —-> on the right.  I was able to get that accomplished as well as a few other changes also, leave me some comment and tell me if you like it or not?

One of my goals when I made the decision to change the layout was to enhance the social usability of the blog.  I added a few more social networking buttons and added my Twitter stream as well, you can see it over there <—— on the left side.  There are times when I comment or post something to Facebook and/or Twitter however my blog readers may not ever see it.

I would be in blog nirvana if someone could point me out just the right theme that combines blogging with social networking.  There are 3 disciplines that I enjoy; blogging, miro-blogging (Twitter), and Facebook – the only problem is I am not quite able to meld them into the ideal communications platform and that irks me.

Like I said above, leave me your comments and tell me if you do or do not like this new layout and if you know of a better 3 column WordPress theme that I should be using?

Thanks and I will post again soon,

Emerging Leadership Trends Via Social Networking

Oliver Wendell Holmes said “Man’s mind streatched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.”

BusinessLeader     Online leaders from all industries and professions are struggling to define their identities in today’s social networking world.  The number #1 way to capture your target markets attention is to engage them through social media. 

“Why is that”, you might ask?  You can not build a following, client list or market share online by using traditional offline tactics however I think you know that already.

So how does one start, why not take a small step forward and get started through micro-blogging, it’s a technique that is taking the social networking world by firestorm and the service that I recomend you use is Twitter.  With twitter you have 140 characters to get your message out and you had better not be spamming or coming across like a used car salesman – nobody likes a salesman so be your self and talk about topics that your target market are interested in.

Why not start by following me on twitter:  http://www.Twitter.com/MarkEdwardBrown

I tweet back and you can always come back here to leave a comment and discuss connection, networking and leadership in the social networking world.

To Your Social Networking Success,

Mark Edward Brown

Leadership in the Blogoshpere – Sound Off!

I have some questions and concerns about the current state of the blogosphere and after I share them with you I encourage you to comment on my blog so that we can establish a dialogue about these issues and concerns, ready?

Let’s go;

1)  Do you feel that micro-blogging (Twitter) will become more popular than traditional blogging?

2)  Do people like to read content on a blog or watch content via video on a blog?  Which do YOU like?

3)  Who are the leading bloggers that you are following right now and why?

4)  How do you find blogs that interest you?  Word of mouth, Google Blog Search, Technorati etc?

There you have it just a few of the questions and concerns marinating in my brain right now.  I am interested to read your feedback and comments.  My thoughts are that with the advent of social networking and the web 2.0 movement the lines that separated blogging and blogs from other media in the blogosphere are becoming blurred.  I don’t neccessarily think this is a bad thing because I like convenience and improved functionality across communication platforms, what about you?

Sound Off,

Mark Edward Brown
