I'm a Blog Admin! Now What?!

Thursday, November 19, 2009 by Allison Bowen
As an employee for Compendium Blogware, my job every day is to help our clients with our blog software.  This often means that I find myself updating calls-to-action, explaining how clients can add users and answering other various questions that our users and admins might have. 

But recently, the tables have turned.  I have now become a blog admin myself!  Now what do I do?! 

Both Amber Mohling and I are fellows with the Orr Fellowship program.  The Orr Fellowship program provides a unique opportunity for undergraduate students searching for their first salaried, full-time position following graduation.  It's been a great opportunity for both of us!  

Well wouldn't you know it, we recently were able to set up an Orr Fellowship blog.  And I'm the new blog admin!  Check it out --  http://blog.orrfellowship.org.  I now find myself actually performing some of the duties that we discuss with clients each day.  So as a new blog admin, what have I done?  Followed Compendium's blogging best practice tips, of course!
  • Updated our calls-to-action Orr Fellowship Blog
  • Added ShareThis to our blog (visit here and send the code to help@compendium.com)
  • Encouraged my bloggers to blog frequently and consistently
  • Made sure each blogger has a sticky post set up
  • Monitored my Google Analytics statistics (admins should get them each Monday by e-mail)
It has definitely been an adventure, but I'm really enjoying being a blog admin.  When I saw the number of click-throughs from our blog and our most recent search results, I was thrilled.  Compendium really does provide the best blogging software!
