Two Interesting Reads Today - Museum Blogs and Promoting Your Blog

Today's blog reading took me to two great posts.  The first one at Ideum where Jim Spadaccini and company did a survey on museum blogs. The intial survery was posted on March 6, 2006 but has had several followups since then.  Results were interesting in that they only found 26 sites when they first conducted the survery.  By March 13th they had quite a bit of feedback and have since updated the list.  Regardless, the survery and the authors point out that museum blogs seem to be "one in a million."  A real shame considering the potential here that museums can use present day technology to send updated information and news to its members, and other like minded and interested parties.  Ideum also provides a nicely presented PDF of its survey.

The second great read was from Guy Kawasaki, a blog I read everyday.  Today's post is on "How to Evangelize A Blog".  Great tips and advice on writing and promoting your blog.

  • "I found Lisa Mikulski to be just the right resource at the right time: focused, professional, with a great eye for color and design, and with very fast turnaround time for getting images up on the web -- an artist's best friend and there when you need her! She's got a really good command of the two worlds we as artists now inhabit: the technical issues of cyberspace in today's market, combined with bottom line issues of artistic judgement. I highly recommend her as a great resource for web design, artistic and gallery management."
