I’m working with my Gallomanor colleagues, Shane McCracken and Mary Reid, to deliver a series of one-day community leadership blogging workshops in the UK called Empowering Voices Online (EVO) . Shane and Mary will be delivering the face-to-face sessions while I concentrate on the coaching and feedback via various tools, including the Interactive Learning Environment [...] I’ve been working on a blogsite with Gretchen Falck, owner of a fitness studio in Northfield called Forza! Building strong bodies and minds one core at a time. Forza! features classes that “use Kettlebells, TRX Suspension Training, Resistance Stretching, and Body Weight Exercises.” Back in 2004, I helped Rochester, MN neighborhood group, the Kutzky Park Neighborhood Association, set up a new website with a blog using Blogger. They asked for an updated site this summer so we converted all the old Blogger posts over to WordPress. We gave the admin keys to local volunteer Pam Gjertson who’s been [...] I’ve been advising Mike Tikkanen on making some changes to his blogsite, Invisible Children. It’s the blog for his book by the same name, as well as for Kids At Risk Action (KARA), “a non-profit advocacy network focusing on issues related to neglected and abused children.” I first coached Mike back in 2005. I’ve been working with MN Senate 25 candidate Al DeKruif, setting up a campaign website with a blog and a companion Facebook page. His blog posts automatically get published to the Wall on his Facebook page as well as to an RSS/Blog tab. And his Facebook updates automatically get posted to a Fan Box [...] For over a year now, I’ve teamed up with a UK-based colleague of mine, Shane McCracken (his company is Gallomanor) to work with a federal agency of the British government called the Department for International Development (DFID), now also known as UKaid. It’s “the part of the UK Government that manages Britain’s aid to poor [...] I’ve set up a blogsite for Re-Pete’s Saloon & Grill in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. Co-owner Jen Gunning will be blogging Real Soon Now. Her co-owner husband, Jerel Gunning, has been blogging at the Club 95 website for their other restaurant in Hixton, Wisconsin. That site will soon be getting a makeover and Jen expects to [...] As I noted in a May, 2007 blog post, the Citizens League contracted with me to set up, launch, and run the Students Speak Out (SSO) social network, part of their MAP 150 Project. Over the 5 months of my involvement, Erin Sapp, Lars Johnson, Stacy Becker, Kim Farris-Berg, Sean Kershaw and others working on [...] Back in Feb. of 2007, I worked with Winds of Peace Foundation CEO Steve Sheppard in launching his leadership blog. This past month, working with foundation’s do-everything staff person and webmaster Bobbie Jones, we’ve now converted the entire Winds of Peace Foundation site over to WordPress. And we have merged Steve’s blog with the [...] The National Civic Summit is being held in downtown Minneapolis next week, July 15-17. The two-day conference is free and open to the public, though there is a charge for the pre-conference party and National Tweetup at the Mill City Museum on Wed. night. I’ll be attending all three days. The key questions for the [...] I’ve been building a series of “How to Ride Motorcycle Trials” tutorial pages for the Trials Training Center (TTC) in Sequatchie, TN. Many of the pages have video clips and I’ve created a TTC YouTube Channel to house them all. Each video has a description, several tags, and a link back to the specific [...] Several months ago, I created a blog site for the 2nd Annual JuneBug Festival of Music in Northfield, Minnesota. During the recently completed 4-day festival, I posted Northfield JuneBug Twitter updates 30 minutes prior to each performance on the upcoming act’s venue and scheduled starting time. I also blogged photos of each musical act’s performance. I first met Gunnar Swanson and Dina Fesler of War Kids Relief back in January when they made a presentation in Northfield. (We later hosted them on our Locally Grown podcast/radio show.) They hired me to help them get set up with a WordPress-based website and to think about how social media could be used for [...] |
