How I Use Wordle.net to help shape the editorial fabric of my writing

I use Wordle to help me shape the editorial fabric of my writing.

It's a great tool to use once in a while to see what words are more pronounced than others, where I emphasize certain subject matters, people and how often I suggest certain subjects, strategies and ideas.

You can pick different fonts, colors, and the way your words are arranged. The site also has a galleries where you can view other people's works, and of course, post your own.

'Tis the season of Social Good; My Column in today's San Antonio "Express News"

As a monthly columnist for the San Antonio "Express-News," I'm fortunate to write about PR and Social Media and how people in our local community are using these mediums in creative and meaningful ways.

Today's column focuses on the upcoming holiday season, when we give thanks and give gifts of many types and in many forms. In this case, the article cites Steve Julian, who is helping to raise $100,000.00 for his wife, Holly's upcoming lung transplant operation.

Here's links to those cited and other sources you can learn from to do social good.
