#Blogchat schedule for 9-12 and some updates

Hey guys, I wanted to let you know that tonite’s #Blogchat topic will be ‘Writing For Yourself vs Writing for Your Blog’s Readers’.  This topic was suggested by @WriterChanelle, so thank you!  In recent weeks I’ve tried to give a bit more structure to the #Blogchat topics, but with this one I’m going to just throw it out there and we’ll see where everyone takes it.

Also, I wanted to update you on a couple of #Blogchat items.  First, some of you have been interacting with the Twitter account @BlogchatNews.  This is an account that I started to let users know of news about #Blogchat, but I want to also use this account to better highlight #Blogchat-related posts and also posts from #Blogchat regulars.  And unfortunately, with my trying to build my consulting business, I just don’t have as much time as I would like to devote to #Blogchat and its community.  So my sister, @Beth_Collier is going to help me by managing the @BlogchatNews account.  I will be helping her as I can, but for the most part she will be the one interacting with you.  She’s doing a great job and is honestly an even friendlier person than I am, so all of you will love her!

So that’s it for now, and please, if you have any questions or ideas for how I can improve the #Blogchat experience for you, please leave a comment here, or connect with Beth or I on Twitter.  I hope to have a big announcement soon on the #Blogchat schedule for October, including a couple of awesome co-hosts, and hopefully our first #Blogchat sponsor!  See everyone tonite at 8pm Central!

    Hey Mack – Thank you for choosing the topic. I’m really looking forward to the discussion as I’ve been wondering lately if we’re not doing a disservice by leaving out high level language in favor of writing to the 8th grade standard.

    Hey! Great topic. I have concluded thus far that I need to use my blog to write for myself as well as my readers, and to integrate different kinds of writing to keep the blog fresh and informative.

    I have an idea for a future topic. Blogging has enhanced my life in many ways, both personally and professionally. I would like to suggest the topic of Blogging As A Personal Development Tool. Blogging has helped me target my personal and professional activities in ways that enhance my ability to achieve on many levels, as I pursue my highest purposes in life. I’d love to know how others are using blogging to do the same. I’d be happy to volunteer to help moderate that topic as well.

    Hi! I attended #blogchat tonight and found it very helpful. I’ll put it on my calendar from now on and promote as best I can via Twitter, Facebook & my own blog. There hasn’t been a topic yet that I felt I couldn’t learn from as well as contribute.
