More Thoughts on Where Blogging Can Take You

01.29.2015 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

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?

08.24.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

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 […]

Sometimes It’s Ok To Do It Wrong

07.23.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

There are plenty of things you have to do in life. Pay your bills. Take care of your kids (if you have kids). Drive at the correct speed limit. Show up to work on time. You know, the basics. I have a lot of “have tos” in my life because I’m a parent, a wife […]

Why Is It Surprising When People Don’t Blog?

06.26.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

It always amuses me when people express surprise or shock that execs–or people in general–don’t blog. Blogging=writing. If you don’t like to write, or can’t write well, why would you have a blog? Most execs probably didn’t become execs because they love writing and write really well. They are business people. Not writers. Not to […]

Is Summer the Season for Social Media Malaise?

06.08.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Recently I just haven’t been feeling it as much–blogging, tweeting–just the whole social media thing. Life is too busy and sometimes I question why I put all this other stuff on myself when I already have a more-than-full plate with kids, a husband, a full-time job, etc. I blogged about it last week with regard […]

Mommy Blogger Drama

05.23.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I posted this in my other blog (the one where I can use the “F” word and talk about stuff other than social media) but figured I may as well save myself some time this holiday weekend and make it do double-duty over here. Fear not: no use of the “F” word in this particular […]

Looks Matter, Even in the Blogosphere

04.27.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I read an interesting post a few weeks ago but have been too busy to blog much since then; it was about how female tech bloggers are perceived differently than males. Namely, if a woman is attractive it becomes difficult to find comments that reflect on what she’s trying to say rather than how she […]

Blogging For Profit?

04.12.2009 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

This morning I was flipping through Website Magazine, intrigued by the cover story “Blog: Carving Out A Plan For Profit” (page 26). I get to the story and the first sentence stopped me in my tracks: “Web professionals should be using blogs for one purpose–to make money.” Excuse me? The article goes on to instruct […]

Why Every Stay-Home Mom Needs to Be On Facebook

12.08.2008 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago I went to a bingo night at school, arranged by the PTA. PTA isn’t really my thing, but any form of gambling is, so I went. After bingo (I didn’t win once in 21 games—go figure why I love gambling) I went out for drinks with a group of moms. When […]

More Reasons to Blog

07.31.2008 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I’m recycling this from my other blog because it relates to a post I did a while back on this blog about why I blog. Happy Blogoversary to MeOk, that’s not actually true–this is not the anniversary of my first post. It is, however, almost the anniversary of the date I started tracking visitor stats. […]
