Notes for Week Seven

Congratulations to each of you for launching your blogs—a huge and cake-worthy milestone. But it's not all cake and glory. This week we will be investigating the business of blogging (i.e. the pleasures and perils of selling out). Please read "yes, Virginia, there is an agenda," by Bonnie Stewart, and I'd also recommend checking out "I cannot be that person: why the 'Queen of the Mommy Bloggers' had to quit" and "The anti-social media star," by Amy Verner.

And for those interested in such things, this piece on getting paid for online writing (and not getting paid for online writing) is worthwhile too.

Notes for Week Six

Our reading for next week is "Keeping An Eye on the World," from Shawna Lemay's blog, Calm Things. Please read this piece and come to class ready to talk about the various ways in which you're going to be keeping an eye on the world via your own blog.

A couple of other things? I wrote a post about blogrolls and the changing nature of the way we read blogs: you can read it here.

And regarding our conversation about selfies from last week, I bring you this lovely post in defence of selfies, by Marina Hasson, who was a student in this course last year. (Also, Marina is celebrating one year of blogging this week; just think, in 52 short weeks, that will be you!)

Looking forward to cake! And congratulations on launching your blogs, everybody!!

A Good Read

If you live in Toronto, you know that our city has a lot to offer. But I find that we don't necessarily do the best job of marketing all the great things we have in this city.  There's so much going on, but where do we find the latest news?  Where can we go to learn about new restaurant openings, to find out what events are taking place in the city, or what's new in the fashion scene?

BlogTo - the quintessential guide for all things Torontonian.

I love it because it's a one-stop shop.  It provides all kinds of information about Toronto, and it's right at my finger tips:  events, restaurants, fashion, arts/culture, shopping and the list goes on.  It even has a section for all those contest lovers out there!  Not only are the blog posts informative, but they also provide amazing visuals of Toronto, especially the restaurant review section.  I'm a visual person - if you want to tickle my taste buds, you'll need to show me what I'm missing!  And, I love to eat, so the restaurants section of the site is one that I frequent.  One of the newest blog posts on the site is about
Parcae, the new restaurant that is slated to open in December.  Liora Ipsum takes me with her on her appetizing journey through Parcae.  For a split second, I'm right next to her, tasting the delicious meals she's experiencing. Her pictures do paint a thousand words, but her words express the flavours she is savoring, which is just as powerful. 

Another blog that I love reading is 1000 Awesome Things.  I discovered this blog a couple years ago when I heard the author, Neil Pasricha, speak at a corporate function - I was instantly intrigued.  Neil had started a blog in 2008, writing about all the little things that make life amazing.  It's essentially a daily dose of awesomeness, something we all need in our lives.  Sometimes we forget about all the good things in life, all the things that make us smile.  But Neil reminds us with his quirky posts, his humour and his playful view of the world.  Whether it's about costumes, finding a job or fajitas, his blog posts are always refreshing and real.
