I took the GRE not long ago, and now I’m receiving e-mails and snail mail from colleges. It’s pretty wild! I never thought I would experience this again. I guess that means I made decent scores, at least. There’s the Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.  They started a Public Diplomacy Program five…

I was mentioned on another blog (Afford-Anything.com) today! As I was building up Navigating Newsrooms followers on Twitter a few days ago, I stumbled on a former journalist who took two years to travel the world, and she wrote a fantastic blog about it. I was amazed. That’s exactly what I want to do –…

I migrated parts of my Vicariously Jane Austen and Navigating Newsrooms websites to new WordPress blogs so I can add pages and whatnot with ease. It takes a good bit of time and work, but I think it’ll pay off in the end. I hope this all works. We’ll see. I’ve received some interesting and…

It’s crazy what you’ll find when you start web surfing with a purpose. Yesterday, I started looking at the Twitter and blogs of Mark Johnson, a photojournalism professor at UGA, when I remembered the blogs that we did for our advanced photojournalism class.

Though I have plenty of topics and links tucked away on a Google Doc (next tab over), I still feel at a loss for what to write today. I think it’s because I have so many ideas zooming around in my head about what I want to do and read and research tonight, other than…

I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the social media options out there, and I’m just now taking the time to discover some of them. Klout.com: The Klout score (1 to 100) measures influence based on your ability to drive action online. The Klout score uses data from social networks in order to measure: True…

This was the question posed today by the WordPress folks who are running The Daily Post challenge. It’s a yearlong motivation to post once a day or once a week, and they give topics each day for bloggers to respond. I signed up yesterday, and now I can proudly display this badge as I try…
