\"\"<\/a>This weekend Girls Write Now <\/a>held a blogging workshop for our girls. Sadly, I had to miss it. But I did a little Q&A with them, which I’m posting here for kicks. – GWP<\/span><\/p>\n

GWN: How often to post; do you set a schedule for yourself?<\/span>
DS:<\/span> I post daily, and I limit myself to spending 1 hour on it each day–usually the first hour of the day, after oatmeal and before heading off to do my work.<\/p>\n

GWN: What to post about\/ what makes a topic “post-worthy”?<\/span>
DS: <\/span>Timeliness, most of all. I use my tagline (“Bridging Feminist Research, Popular Reality, and the Public”) as a filter. If it doesn’t fit within that rubric, however, doesn’t mean I won’t post. I’ve created guidelines for guest posting on Girl with Pen <\/a>and I try hard to hold myself to those standards as well.<\/p>\n

GWP: How do you edit your blog posts?<\/span>
DS:<\/span> Quickly. I edit as I go. I’ll preview a post and check for spelling errors and do some quick rewriting. With posts I write for places other than my personal blog, though, I’ll have Marco or my mom (BEST editor ever) read it first.<\/p>\n

GWP: How do you get the word out about your blog?<\/span>
DS:<\/span> Network, network, network! And here’s my 101 on link love: When you find a blogger you admire, link to them in a post and send them the link. Chances are, they’ll likely check out your blog. Form a relationship with them (comment on theirs, email them them directly). Ask if they’ll consider including you in their blogroll. If the admiration is mutual, you’ve got link love.<\/p>\n

GWP will be teaching a blogging & journalism workshop for kids through <\/span>Writopia Lab<\/a> in August – more soon!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
