Welcome to Beth's Blog for the Next Decade

May 16, 2010 Filed Under: Personal Reflections Tagged With: move, redesign, welcome


Dawn Near the Bay of Bengal by Joisey Showaa
Welcome to the new and improved Beth’s Blog!  After almost a decade of blogging and most of it at the same place,  I’m starting over with a new platform and look thanks to Allyson Kapin and Jared Seltzer of Rad Campaign .
Moving to this new blog put me in a reflective mood. I can’t believe that I’ve been blogging for almost a decade and seven years over at Beth’s Blog. According to the stats in Typepad, my blog has had:

  • 1206701:  Lifetime Pageviews
  • 3129:  Total Posts
  • 7641:  Total Comments

My very first blog was about my trip to Cambodia to bring my son Harry home in February, 2000.    I hand coded the html myself!  A year later, I launched my first professional blog  on the software that eventually became Google’s blogger.   I wrote about nonprofits, technology, and training.
In those early days, I lacked the discipline and inspiration to keep blogging on a regular basis.   I had a couple of false starts.   In April, 2003, I  started blogging on my http://beth.typepad.com in April, 2003 soon after Six Apart launched its TypePad hosting service.
My very first blog post was called “Blogspiration” and I shared my goal of blogging regularly.   I revisited some of my first posts and, ironically, my early blog posts were very short, some only a few sentences, a pre-shadowing of micro-blogging that would come into its own a few years later.
I did not form the blogging daily habit until January, 2004 because we had just added to our family.   That post was magical because it was the first comment I had received and that comment was from a Cambodian Bloggher, Tharum.   His comment inspired me to start a personal blog on Cambodian culture and connect with other Cambodian bloggers.
I had outgrown my information design as well as my blogging platform a couple years ago.   It had become increasingly difficult to find older posts because I have too many categories and an idiosyncratic way of organizing them. If it was hard for me to find content, than I can’t imagine how what it is like for you, the readers.   Allison Fine once joked that my blog was like entering the portal in Being John Malkovich.
I really needed a professional web/blog designer!  In April, I hired Allyson Kapin and Jared Seltzer of Rad Campaign who lead me through a blog redesign process and set me up on the Word Press platform.   They did a fantastic job and I highly recommend them!
They created a cleaner version of Beth’s Blog with less clutter, but still retains my personality.   They listened to me about my important goals for the look and feel: authenticity, conversation, generosity, and fun!  (One feature is that my photo in the side bar will change according to different themes, so stay tuned)
I will keep the old Beth’s Blog as an archive, so I can start fresh over here. As I enter this new journey in blogging, I’m inspired to work on improving my writing so that my blog is more effective at helping networked nonprofits use social media to power change.
What do you think of my new blog?

    Wow. It’s like you’ve now a third child:).
    This just feels huge Beth. Did Harry and Sara help Allyson and Jared? I have to think they gave the thumbs up. 🙂
    Grateful to learn from you daily. And thrilled for this expanded sharing of your knowledge. Just a huge hug. So happy for you.

    Hi Beth,
    Congratulations on the new blog–the design is really nice, and i LOVE that photo of you! I will look forward to many more years of your fabulous content, now presented in equally fabulous fashion! Congrats!
    When you get a chance, please check out our newly renovated website/blog- also done on wordpress! We are still adding all the films….

    Beth – First of all congratulations on the redesign. I’ll have to poke around and see if I can find my way to the 13.5th floor. Looks great so far.
    Second, I love reading your personal blogging history. I didn’t even know about Blogspiration and I consider myself an advanced Bethologist.
    Keep up the great work and thanks again for EVERYTHING.

    I love it! Clean and organized.
    One little tip on the organization: even though it’s hard to plan, have you thought through what your categories might be? I don’t think tags are enough – the key to helping people find stuff is to create and refine categories (yeah, I’m a librarian). So, for instance, this first post shouldn’t be “uncategorized”! Even if you just call it “Blog Housekeeping” “Miscellaneous” “General” it still is a bucket that has more meaning than “uncategorized”. Just my .02
    Here’s to another inspired decade of Beth blogging – keep it up!

    Nice work on this Beth (and Rad Campaign). I’m excited to see you get a face-lift … it’s such a valuable place for nonprofits so making it simpler to find content and use will absolutely help those visiting. Well done.

    Yes, I have limited myself to 15 categories – but I didn’t think about a housekeeping one. Thanks for that tip.

  18. Beth Kanter says

    May 17, 2010 at 8:49 pm

    Thanks everyone for cheers! This was easy yet hard thing to do – easy because Allyson/Rad was so wonderful to work with – hard because it is change …

    Very nice, Beth, been hoping to see a new look for a while now. That image you chose to kick off your new journey is just marvelous.
    Glad you’ll still be blogging for next 10 years when others are peeling away to do less substantive things …

    May 18, 2010 at 2:45 am

    Congrats on the new blog, Beth! I like! I’m getting a MS in information management, so like Laura, I’m curious about the information design of your site. What are your 15 other categories besides housekeeping? What went into the decision to dedicate the real estate on the right column to Recent Comments instead of, say, your Twitter feed? As a user I personally, get a lot out of seeing someone’s tweetstream on their blog.
    A couple more ideas to consider. Of course, take them or leave’em :).
    1) Contact page. I’d list at least your Twitter handle and other ways of reaching you like Facebook, Linked In, etc. Yes, you have the buttons on your homepage, but some people don’t “see” graphics even when they’re right there. If they did a Ctrl F search for “Twitter” to try and find your Twitter contact info, they wouldn’t be able to find it. Plus it’s good to have a number of different ways for readers to get the same information. They’ll have a number of access/entry points to your blog, and often users think they’ll find all contact information under Contact.
    2)About page
    a) hyperlink “Beth is the CEO of Zoetica” and direct users to your “Work with Beth” page.
    b) Add the word “Contact” and hyperlink it to your Contact page. (Many users expect to find contact information under the About page.)
    c) I’d nix the “Full Bio” link because the exact same bio text appears in the link you provide.
    d) I’d provide a link to the old blog in this sentence “Beth is the author of Beth’s Blog (see the ‘old blog’ here).”
    3) Best of Beth page.
    a) I’d give a heading to this page in a similar way that you’ve given a heading to your About, Speaking, Work With Beth, etc pages. Otherwise it’s a bit confusing because in your sentences describing the page you don’t use the phrase “best of.”
    b) Perhaps move “Top Ten blog posts” up to the top because people who click on “Best of Beth” are probably expecting to see your top posts.
    c) I like how Dan Meyer presents his “best of” content. He has a “People’s Choice” page: http://blog.mrmeyer.com/?page_id=836 and also an “Author’s Choice” page: http://blog.mrmeyer.com/?page_id=836 .Now you probably don’t want two separate pages, but it’s one way to think about organizing the information.
    That’s all for now. Congrats again on your redesign. And thank you for all that you do. I, and countless others, benefit from your mind and writing.
    Best,
    Emily

    It’s almost tweetable 🙂 Beth’s Blog is no longer typepad! I do agree with Allison’s assessment of the portal – but it was also a treasure hunt and every time I came back out I had new morsels of previously undiscovered gems.
    In Hebrew there is a saying “titchadesh” which is what you say when someone buys something new. It means, “that’s new! that’s nice! Congratulations!” Titchadesh to you!
    Congrats on the new blog redesign. Looking forward to reading about your journey for the next ten years on this beautiful blog in its new home.

    Hi Emily:
    Thank you so much for your great advice. The information design flowed out my goals/objectives which included:
    -Purchase the book
    -Highlight opportunities to work with me
    -Encourage conversation in the comments
    The categories show up once there is a blog post assigned to them. I reviewed my category list from my blog – almost 200 categories – and narrowed it down to 15-20 categories which will show up once I have blog posts on those topics. I hope to keep the categories broad and evergreen, but use the tags/keywords in posts to get more specific and show things can be found via search.

I am the Social Media Liaison for the Tulane University Center for Public Service AmeriCorps VISTA program. We (the AmeriCorps VISTA) team have started a blog to house our monthly Field Reports. As VISTAs, through the Tulane program in New Orleans, we dedicate one year to service working with various nonprofit agencies in the community helping to build sustainability and capacity. Check out our blog to read about some of our VISTA’s experience in the field. VISTAs serve at different issue based organizations ranging from education to enviroment and all in between.

    Hello, Beth and friends,
    I’m right this minute in a training with our journalism faculty at Madison College in Madison, Wis.
    Our faculty would like to find shareware that they can give students so they can create their own websites as part of their coursework. Our teacher is saying he uses iweb.
    I remember that one of your posts talked about “free” websites that are very simple but pre-templated. Can you help the class by telling us where those sites might be??
    Best, Ellen

    Beth,
    A huge congratulations on the move but more so on the inspiration you have provided over the last decade. Your work are one of the reasons I shifted my focus from the private sector to the social change space. So do know that you are changing lives directly and indirectly.

    Congratulations on your new site. I found out about you from a Tom’s of Maine campaign.
    One of my pet peeves that no one will be able to remedy is the use of the word “blog.” Maybe a contest out there in the, ugh, “blogosphere” to devise a new, more melodious word is in order!
    Good luck and I look forward to reading more on your site.

    Hi Beth,
    I just came across your blog, and think you have a lot of great ideas and experiences that I would love to talk to you about. I am the communications specialist at Bright Beginnings, a nonprofit in DC that offers a bright start for infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers of homeless families. We serve about 186 children annually whose families live in transitional housing and are working towards a more stable home for themselves and their children. Please visit our website, and let me know if you have any ideas as to how we might be able to work together to get our name out in the area and raise awareness of homelessness in the greater Washington, DC area.
    Thanks and keep on writing! I will keep reading!

    Hi Beth,
    I think I need your help. I am doing my thesis about non-profit organizations and the use of social media. How social media can help draw new members.
    I hope you can help me finding theories or models about this subject? Perhaps you have a great tip or website or you know a great model or theory?
    Hope you can help me.
    Best Regards,
    Eveline Oudshoorn from Vancouver

    Hi Beth,
    I just learned your name from a 2007 elluminate session by George Seimans called Curatorial Teaching. It’s interesting that you are reminiscing about your blogging beginnings.
    Nice to meet you…
    Mary
