Well, I somehow managed to miss this blog’s 10 year anniversary on February 24. Not that anyone actually cares about this other than me, but still…10 years is a LONG TIME for a commitment-phobe like me : ) Looking back at my first post I have to say that I’ve never really stopped to think about […]
Long time no see!
Hey there–is this thing still on? Long time no see over here at Mizz Information. It’s been a crazy year on many fronts…to say the least. In this age of “pivot to video” and podcasts being all the rage, I admit it’s a struggle to keep the blogging enthusiasm alive. But at the same time, […]
Association Blogging in 2016
Summer just sucks in terms of blogging…or doing much of anything, if you’re me. I don’t mean my summer has sucked; it hasn’t. But between conferences, work, getting ready to have two kids in college, being stressed out by too many entertainment options and just life, making time to write for fun or just do anything […]
To Blog or Not to Blog in the Age of Medium
More and more, blogging feels like speaking into an unplugged mic. Which is why I and countless others who used to love it and do it religiously have either stopped altogether or seem to be winding down. Back in the day, blogging was about words. You wrote from the heart–or from wherever–clicked “publish” and that was […]
An Introvert’s Defense of Sherry Turkle
Even though I didn’t attend ASAE Annual, I have actually spent a decent amount of my summer thinking about Sherry Turkle, the closing keynote speaker at Annual. Summer has generally been a time when interacting online looses some of its appeal to me–I blogged about it in 2009, and 2010, and apparently had sufficiently burned out on […]
Cool Tool for Associations: Canva for Work
CANVA FOR WORK IS HERE! Ok, sorry, but I’ve been waiting for months for Canva for Work and I finally got access to it last week. Long story short: it’s pretty awesome, especially for small organizations with no in-house graphic designer and/or no budget to outsource graphic design. In this day and age where communications […]
The Saddest, Best Commentary on How Blogging Has Changed
Ah, summer–why you so busy? I relish summer because I am NOT a cold weather person and generally spend December through April pretty much in hibernation, but the speed with which summer weeks seem to speed by is kind of depressing in its own right. I feel like I haven’t had time to catch a […]
Goodbye Squarespace–Welcome to Mizz Information 3.0
I know all of you have spent the beginning of your summer obsessing over Squarespace’s shortfalls and building new websites in WordPress, because…summer, right? Well, sadly, I’m nerdy like that so that’s exactly what I have spent a decent chunk of my summer doing so far. I’ve blogged before about Squarespace and some of my […]
More Thoughts on Where Blogging Can Take You
Last week, I started a post that I thought was going to be about how to use Windows on a Chromebook (notice the title on the post) but turned out to be just sort of a ramble about blogging and blog burnout and a post I figured nobody would read. Then friend Deirdre Reid left a […]
Are Social Media Rockstars An Endangered Species? Or The Future of Advertising?
Don’t get me wrong–I couldn’t be happier about Forrester’s newest report showing that social media adoption has basically become “nearly universal.” Definitely bodes well for me being gainfully employed. At the same time, though, I can’t help but notice that the whole social media rockstar thing is getting a little out of hand. As more […]
