PRBLOGGER 2.5

Come on in. Take your shoes of first though and mind the carpet as you may have noticed I’ve been decorating. Well, not me specifically but thanks to WordPress wizard, Matt Brett, the blog’s had a few tweaks here and there. Namely the font (PRBLOGGER’s rolling with Arial these days); a Twitter plugin to replace the moblog (I might have mentioned Twitter once or twice lately); new navigation buttons (hover over ‘em and watch ‘em glow); new archives page (almost three years long now) and a host of other back end stuff.

This baby’s purring like a lolcat.

SOCIAL MEDIA: THREAT OR OPPORTUNITY FOR TRADITIONAL MEDIA?

That’s the question that’ll be on everyone’s lips at the CIPR HQ on the 26th of this month where I’ll be on a panel alongside the BBC’s Head of Editorial Development and Multi-Media Journalism, Pete Clifton, and Communities Editor of Telegraph.co.uk, Shane Richmond. Should make for an interesting discussion and one that hopefully stirs the audience up a bit because, quite frankly, I think (except for those in my RSS reader) the UK PR industry is lagging a bit. I know I’m not alone thinking this either.

Thanks to Daljit Bhurji for putting it together. Tickets are all sold from what I gather by Daljit. Should be good.
