Stephan Spencer’s recent article on DYI Reputation Management was recently a helpful reminder, which I thought would be a good idea to pass on. I am currently in the midst of a major personal life change and my primary blog is started out as a very personal blog; then evolved into something more topical and informational. The question of how to transition the blog along through my life transition has been pre-eminent on my mind this week.

The truth is, a blog only provides a slice of a view of a person’s life, yet like any powerful image tool, can sway one’s reputation amongst their peers or audience.  Care must be taken, yet in a relational economy, honesty matters. In my case, so does the ability to have a certain level of transparency and the freedom to write through my creative process.  When a site has aged and a loyal following of readers has developed, the relationship between writer and reader becomes entangled and opinions emerge. It has proven to be difficult to navigate.

From a tech-standpoint, this post of Stephen’s was an easily scannable, bulleted reminder of what concerns to keep in mind in a time such as this. It’s a good example of a layout well done. Many thanks to both writer and editor.
