Anatomy of a Blog Posting

I’m finalizing handouts for the workshop I’m giving in Boulder, CO on Wed., “Very Basic Blogging.” This is intended for newcomers to the weblog world – including some folks who aren’t yet familiar with finding and reading weblogs.

Therefore, I thought it would help to create a handout showing the anatomy of a typical blog posting. For this, I’ve chosen to show a recent excellent posting by one of my coaching clients, Heidi Miller: “Public Speaking Tip #1: No one expects you to know everything

Wanna see the handout?…

Here it is, you can download the zip archive. (Three pages, suitable for printing.) It shows Heidi’s posting before and after I added a trackback and comment, so you can see the difference interaction makes.

I would like to say that I’m very proud of Heidi. In our coaching sessions she caught on very quickly to some basic techniques of how to participate effectively in the online public conversation. And she put them immediately into practice. Also, her nice-looking blog puts my clunky design to shame.

She’s a fabulous presenter too, I understand. Definitely check out her site, blog, and podcast. She’s very professional, and a lot of fun.

  1. Amy, you make me blush! But truly it was your down-to-earth, guilt-free attitude towards blogging that made it fun–and productive–for me.
