@tracyplayle I need these!!!!

I love these content advice cards with tips on the back that we made for #CASEDisrupts last week. Any of these problems resonate with you?

@mjpowers 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

@MikeCosper @CultivatedPod Talk to @JoshGarrels !

@tracyplayle Yay!

@myvanessence I fully intend to! First trip is April but it will be a tight one because I’m off to Confab too. But second one in June I’m tagging some extra time on before training days.

Started telling people today that I’ve signed up to train to be a qualified coach. Training starts in New York in April. I’ve been doing content coaching for a while now and want to expand my skills (and thus the @picklejar offer) more with this type of work. Exciting!

@tracyplayle Yes! Lmk when you’re in the area !

This also means I’m going to be visiting New York seven times over the next 13 months, so if you’re local let me know and I’ll say hi!

@upandupagency But, if y’all could deliver good web experiences AND duct tape, throw pillows, + a random cardigan at the same time...well that would just be dope.

We really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really need you to stop calling us for Target customer service. Higher ed marketing and branding is more in our wheelhouse.

Friday content creator rap, 2 the tune of “All I do is win” by DJ Khaled * All I do is write, write, write no matter what. Got Search terms on my mind, you can never have enough Focusing on content, UX & IA Then see our page ranks go up! And they stay there! (All I do is rank)

@tracyplayle Just got home now...more than 10 hours after my first attempt. The city was on a virtual lockdown and immovable

@myvanessence Oh no! Did you get home in the end?

#newark #newjersey at a standstill for first snowfall of the season. I tried leaving work 5+ hours ago and have been stranded at the office. I mean, is this Atlanta?! 513 crashes in #nj and counting per news...

@NJTRANSIT is light rail in downtown Newark/university heights toward Belleville/Bloomfield stops operating? Delays?

Folks. FOLKS. We announced that our new WordPress template will have no carousels. Our content editors cheered and clapped. THEY CHEERED AND CLAPPED. [Gif alt: I'm as proud as Ron Swanson right now]

Pretentiousness ≠ Polished - @jrick #contentstrategy #contentwriting #PRNews

So much PR/Biz/Web writing is “a mountain of exquisite knowledge surrounded by a moat of dreadful prose” - @jrick #prnews

Contrary to your inner Shakespeare, you do not sound smarter by using the word “sacrosanct” in a press release. Or on the web. Or at thanksgiving. #PRNews

It’s easy to buy impressions, much harder to make [a good] one. First lesson of the day @PRNews writing boot camp. #PRNews

@gemelket It’s like UX for voter registration

Instead of constantly TELLING people to vote, I’m having better luck asking questions: Are you planning to vote on November 6? Do you need info about registering or finding out where to go? Do you need help learning about candidates or other ballot items? Remove the obstacles.

Designing a homepage without a carousel is perhaps the gutsiest move in #HigherEd web.

@HigherEdHead Fearless.

@tracyplayle @ConfabEvents These sound wonderful!!! I’m hoping I can attend this year!

I submitted two @ConfabEvents proposals for #confab2019. Ideas I abandoned: - Explaining CS to non-specialists (and grandma) - Making content strategy your business (leading on CS for an organisation as a consultant) - Using content models to affect organisational change

📣Shoutout to the web content people working behind the scenes today to smooth tensions, keep meetings on track, satisfy VP demands, coordinate marketing and IT efforts, put the user first, and implement strategies... still with enough energy to laugh at cat memes. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
