Electing2Blog: May 2009
http://electing2blog.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Blogging by Elected Officials. I closed this blog in 2010. Tuesday, May 26, 2009. I wrote to several city council members who blog, asking for tips and advice. I'll be sharing some of that advice. Of all the contents in all the emails, the one paragraph that really turned my head was this one, from Councilwoman Angela Hunt of Dallas. She lives in a city where a council member could probably get a staff person to write the blog, but clearly she writes hers. This was the advice that struck me:. There's thi...

Electing2Blog: Why We Do This
http://electing2blog.blogspot.com/2010/07/why-we-do-this.html
Blogging by Elected Officials. I closed this blog in 2010. Friday, July 23, 2010. Why We Do This. Preparing for the recent talk to other city council members in Washington, I hit up one of the best council bloggers in our state for a testimonial. Councilman Jon Snyder. Invests a lot of time into his blog for Spokane. Here's his well-spoken words about why he does this stuff:. The reason I blog is to be proactive in communication with citizen. The biggest piece of advice I would give about blogs is settle...

Electing2Blog: June 2009
http://electing2blog.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Blogging by Elected Officials. I closed this blog in 2010. Thursday, June 25, 2009. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Public Outreach. What got very odd is that four people either from or affiliated with the city of Shoreline warned that these methods could bankrupt a city because of a court ruling involving them. Needless to say, their comments had quite a chilling effect on the discussion. I had to acknowledge their concerns without being familiar with the case. The short version is that one of the ...

Electing2Blog: A Change In Approach
http://electing2blog.blogspot.com/2010/07/change-in-approach.html
Blogging by Elected Officials. I closed this blog in 2010. Friday, July 2, 2010. A Change In Approach. It hit me with a dull thud, strolling from an air-conditioned conference center in Vancouver to a hot downtown street, that I've been going about this all wrong. Well, somewhat wrong. By presenting twice now to my fellow city council members at the Association of Washington Cities . by being in a "how to" webinar. Last January . by helping in my own modest way with OpenGovWest. Still, blogging is what I...

Blogging by Elected Officials. I closed this blog in 2010. Saturday, March 27, 2010. Is just revving up on this second day. People from several states and British Columbia are gathered around, looking at the various proposals for presentations here in Seattle City Hall. We're all voting about what talks people would like to see and hear. What makes me smile as I type is the biggest difference. Journalists were a profession that organized workshops. Open government believers are here a conference ...Serve...

Blogging by Elected Officials. I closed this blog in 2010. Friday, July 24, 2009. Personalized Government: Huge Changes. It's already been widely noted in the Twitter community. That two different speakers played the same segment at this year's Internet Strategy Forum. In Portland. You should watch it before we proceed. It shows a character portrayed by Tom Cruise walking down the streets, with advertisements coming up just for him. Of Forrest Research used the example of how Volkswagen, in an ad, asked ...

Electing2Blog: What the Readers Want
http://electing2blog.blogspot.com/2010/07/what-readers-want.html
Blogging by Elected Officials. I closed this blog in 2010. Monday, July 26, 2010. What the Readers Want. People usually don't much care how you, the elected official, make a decision. They just want to know whether they agree or disagree with you. This comes to mind after reading a fascinating exchange on the blog of a fairly new city council member from Massachusetts, Ari Herzog. He's clearly a bit frustrated, and titles his blog "This Blog is for You, Not for Me." I'm not familiar with the specific...
