The gist of the call that got me into a part-time faculty position at the Academy for Nonprofit Excellence went something like this . . .

The assigned instructor moved out of state. In three weeks, class starts. There is no set curriculum. You need to come up with 16 hours of teaching material for nonprofits that want to learn about marketing research, strategy and execution. Four people recommended you. Can you do it?

My response: uh . . . …

It’s Monday. I’m home from BlogHer. I miss San Francisco. I listened to fascinating stories. I talked too much. I lost my voice. I didn’t sleep there. I slept here until 10 this morning. I am not back on central standard time. I did upload some images. Here is one, taken in Union Square.

How influential is your blog?

If you’re a PR blogger and you’re on the PR Friendly Index, Brendan Cooper will tell you. This week, Brendan announced the latest top 100 PR blog rankings.

How did wiredPRworks come in?

Up 15 points from our November 2007 PR Friendly Index blog ranking at 61 to number 46.

The last time I tried this, no one showed up.

After sending out hundred of postcards and press releases about a “how to blog workshop” in March, the date came and went and nobody came. Thanks to Kathy Doyle and The Academy for Non-Profit Excellence, I got assigned to create and teach the “Reboot Your Marketing: A DIY Blog Workshop.”

Knowing that 13 people wanted to learn more about blogging encouraged me to teach the course I planned to deliver, but hadn’t …
