Healthcare Blogging Audio Conference Next Week
On Jan. 28, I will be presenting at an audio conference entitled “Blogging: Communicating and Marketing to Key Audiences.” It’s sponsored by Strategic Healthcare Communications, and other presenters include:
- Sarah Brandon, Manager, Internal Communications, Alegent Health, Omaha, NE
- Lisa Dombro, Chief Development Officer and Vice President, Marketing, Neurologic & Orthopedic Hospital of Chicago
- Mark Gothberg, Editor, eHealthcare Strategy & Trends, Rye, NY
I’m looking forward to hearing about their experiences, too. If you’d like to join the audio conference, click here for more information.
It’s not free like SMUG, but should provide some good case studies of using blogs in healthcare communications.
New Mayo Clinic Blog Launches Tomorrow
In 22 hours we will be launching a major new blog for Mayo Clinic. I’ll be publishing a post about it here tomorrow (and showing it during my presentation at BlogWell in Chicago), but if you would like to preview the blog for purposes of your own blogging or tweeting (or good old-fashioned news reporting), send me a message in Facebook or a direct message in Twitter.
I’d be happy to send you a preview link and some background info, with the understanding that you wait until 7 a.m. EST tomorrow to publish anything about it. After that I would be delighted, of course, if you chose to help spread the word.
Blogging 122: Being a WordPress Blog Contributor
This post is a companion to Blogging 119: Managing Multiple Contributors, and is written from the perspective of someone with Contributor-level access to a WordPress or WordPress.com blog.
After your blog administrator has added you as a contributor, you should have a link sent to you where you can sign in.
For WordPress blogs, you can access the dashboard from the front page of the blog by adding /wp-admin/ to the end of the URL. So for SMUG, the dashboard is at:
https://www.social-media-university-global.org/wp-admin
Alternatively, you may see a link in the sidebar that looks like this.
Click the Log in link, and you will see a screen where you can log in. But I’m getting ahead of myself; watch the video and you’ll see step-by-step how you enter and save your posts as a contributor.

Speaking at BlogWell
Next Thursday I’ll be in Chicago for BlogWell, an event sponsored by the Blog Council (of which Mayo Clinic is a member.) Here’s the agenda.
It should be a great event. I understand it’s sold out, but you can click here to get on the waiting list if tickets become available.
I’m sure there will be a whole lotta Tweetin’ going on.
