New Address

After checking on the possibility of changing this blog to a WorkPress address, I found out it could not be done. So for any readers who are considering blogging, please be advised to make an educated decision when you begin. Consult you employer, too. It will spare both you and your readers some time and confusion.

My new blog address is Currentsinpr.wordpress.com.
Please follow the link and keep reading . . .

New Posts for a New Season

After an absence, I am posting here again. Working, studying and trying to have a life have all kept me too busy. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

I have been advised, by someone who knows a great deal about blogging, to switch to WordPress. Apparently it has a better reputation for blogs. There must be some pros and cons about making a change like this. Please feel free to share any experiences you've had with Blogger or WordPress. What factors helped you decide which one to use?

I'll be checking on transferring this blog and address availability. We can learn about this together.

Looking Forward to 2010

Well, it has been too long since I've had time to update this blog. This started as an assignment for a class, but I would like to continue it to keep current in PR.

One of my jobs is working at a retail store, and the holiday season is crazy to say the least--long hours, opening early and closing at midnight, crowded aisles and dwindling inventory. I will say that the customers I helped were truly wonderful people who showed patience, appreciation and good humor. As December 25th approaches, you start to count down the days until things return to normal. Then you remember that December 26th is one of the craziest days of the year--long lines of returns and customers grabbing up the sale items! I'm just glad that I don't have to listen to the same Christmas carols over and over again.

Looking back to 2009, I am happy to congratulate Brian Solis for winning the "Blogger of the Year" award! He co-authored, Putting the Public Back in Public Relations, with Deidre Breakenridge. This is a great read if you want to learn about social media.
