"Blogging?" uploaded to flickr by Anonymus
Writing a blog is great — its a platform to engage with readers on issues you think are important. Writing for more than one blog is not always great. Nobody knows better than me what it takes to produce a product you can be happy with while dealing with the time limitations inherent in running a small business.
Earlier this year I was fortunate to get involved with the start-up of a great new hyperlocal blog. Community involvement is close to my heart, so when I was asked to write for a blog focusing on my Capitol Hill neighborhood, I was thrilled. Washington, DC has some of the “bloggiest” neighborhoods in the country, but there was nothing serving the Hill. That was back in March 2009, and since then The Hill is Home has taken off! Writing a weekly column about local businesses and serving on the editorial board of THIH is a great privilege, so that is where I am now focusing my blog time. Head over and check out some of the fantastic coverage this group of citizen journalists puts together each day!
In the meantime, aside from THIH, Black Lab has been busy with some great projects. Lately we’ve been supporting a business association’s strategic planning exercise, reworking the content on a dentist’s website and doing some communications and branding for a designer. Quite the variety of projects but, then again, that’s why we love what we do! We were also honored to win the inaugural award for Business Volunteer of the Year from CHAMPS, Capitol Hill’s Chamber of Commerce, in November 2009. Go check our About page for more details and keep an eye out for more news from Black Lab … we’ll be working on a new website once we get a chance to catch our breath.
