Each month I do a roundup of the most popular Strive Notes posts. This month I took a different approach. Instead of looking at traffic to the site, I looked at unique visitors that clicked through to posts. It certainly shows an entirely different picture to the other method and demonstrates the ‘long tail’ of [...]

We’ve been publishing our blog Strive Notes for more than two years to highlight news and views about important media issues and the public relations profession.

The Buzzmakr blog has a great post about Digg! shouts. Writer Natitude says, “My Digg ‘friends’ don’t seem to understand that if I vote for every single submission, it’s going to mean nothing. Shout me the ones you really like or want to go and I’d be happy to vote for it (as [...]

For the past two years my company has used the Wordpress as the content management platform for Strive Notes, our blog, and it’s never let us down.
A favourite with bloggers worldwide, the platform provides all the interactive features that make blogs social, and it’s as easy to use as word processing software, so [...]

One of the best things about Sundays is that I have the time to sit back with a coffee and actually read people’s blogs. Not just scan the headlines. Not just skim the narrative. But actually read, comment and bookmark. This is part of what makes a Sunday special. [...]

Here’s some of the posts I enjoyed the most over the past week. They are not in any particular order of importance but are all interesting to me. I hope they are to you too.
1. It looks like the beleaguered Mr. Brown has been knocked back by Ogilvy UK. They say his fees are ’small [...]

I’ve just spent a few minutes to update Strive Notes’ blogroll to reflect the sites that I’m actually reading regularly. I should have done this ages ago.
I don’t think I’m alone in this neglect. These lists change all the time as new bloggers come along and others let their blogs die. Keeping these links up [...]

Writing these link love posts after the end of each month really reminds me why I enjoy keeping Strive Notes alive. It reminds me what a broad and varied community we are apart of and I’m grateful to everyone who takes part.

My daughter in Canada just sent me a link to a story about the Ottawa mayor getting all hot under the collar about a blog post. Her friend Darren loves to poke fun at politicians on his Apply Liberally blog.
Apparently blogger Darren McEwen had written a post accusing the mayor of misleading tax payers; [...]

Another blog from Jo of this week’s top five.
1. The PR Rolodex Myth, PR agencies being hired based on their client relationships.. I’d never heard of it but it makes sense. However, I think the list speaks volumes, a relationship with a journalist may get your phone call answered or your email replied to but [...]

Professional vs Personal by Kerri Birtch grabbed my attention. She discusses something that has often crossed my mind. Kerri asks where do you draw the professional/ personal line when blogging?

Strive Notes had its second birthday earlier this month and so it was time to spruce things up a little. In fact, we’ve had a major facelift.
We started by changing skins entirely and have added a bunch of new widgets too.
The colour scheme has changed completely and now is more in line with [...]
