		<title>Writing with Libel in Mind &#8211; from Public Citizen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Public Citizen published a guide to writing with libel in mind, and it&#8217;s fantastic. As a review for communications staff who deal with writing, publications and how they intersect with ethics on a day-to-day basis, this piece will help drive home points that can get dropped over time. As a guide for citizens new to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Social Media Event with the Buffalo Niagara Public Relations Society of America</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the morning of February 11, I&#8217;ll be presenting on social media topics with two other local social mediaologists. (I know that&#8217;s not a word. I will continue.) The event is called Facebook, Twitter, YouTube &#38; More: A Guide to Social Media &#38; How It Applies to PR Practitioners  - a lengthy name!

		<title>2009 Resolutions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My goals for the new year are short and sweet:
Fewer empty calories: less snacking, more fruits and veggies. As a corollary to this, more local food and less processed crap.
Fewer empty hours: less TV watching and more reading, playing outside, and exercise.
Professionally: work toward APR certification in Public Relations.

		<title>Font Friday: Submerged</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Submerged is an appropriate name for the styling of this font. It would be great to bring this font into Photoshop and put some different colors to the reverse text.

		<title>Font Friday: Planet Benson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 


What a fun, funky font. It&#8217;s got some graffiti flair to it, and I am in love with that lower-case t. This is a font where the miniscule and majuscule are the same.

		<title>Trade your rolodex?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t actually own a rolodex. I do have a unorganized drawer filled with business cards that I&#8217;ve collected, but as I eschew paper whenever I can, most of my contacts are consolidated into my LinkedIn account and my Outlook contacts.
I&#8217;d like to trade my list of Buffalo-area media contacts and online outlets with someone [...]]]></description>

		<title>PRSA &#8211; Advocacy and Publicity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I talked with a local PRSA official who asked if I&#8217;d be interested in serving on the Advocacy and Publicity committee for the Public Relations Society of America Buffalo Niagara Chapter. Technically, this is a committee of one, but I&#8217;m excited to do it. My main responsibility would be to write and distribute [...]]]></description>

		<title>Font Friday: Cutting Corners</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
 
 
The Cutting Corners font looks like someone took scissors to make letters out of felt. I love it.

I love how the upper and lower case letters have the same relative height. This font would be one of many good for use on children&#8217;s products, signs for schools, etc.

		<title>A Twitpitch?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An email newsletter that I receive suggested that organizations should develop a twitpitch, which is an inelegant word to describe the succinct text-based hook to promote something through twitter and twitter-like communication channels like text messaging. I&#8217;m very happy to see a move away from overdone, overhyped flashy flash videos and back toward what really [...]]]></description>
