1. What is the name, subject and URL of your blog?

• Walk, Talk, Chew Gum
• Walk, Talk, Chew Gum is a metaphor about wanting to experience and have it all in life. I use it as a platform to share my ideas and thoughts on life, love and all things related to public relations, marketing and social media.
• walktalkchewgum.com

2. Why do you blog?

There are a lot of reasons!

• I blog to participate in conversations surrounding my industry and generation
• I blog because it forces me to write and gather my thoughts surrounding a particular topic
• I blog to meet and build relationships with new and interesting people
• I blog to be challenged and learn from readers who comment on my posts
• But most importantly, I blog because I hope that by sharing my experiences I can get other people to start thinking/talking, so we can grow and learn from each other in an effort to create lives we’ve always wanted!

3. How long have you been blogging and what software do you use?

I’ve been blogging for about two months and use Wordpress (Thesis theme).

4. What’s your favorite blog (besides your own)?

Can I list a few?! It’s too hard to narrow down! At the moment:

• PR/marketing: Danny Brown, Real Time Marketer, LAF
• Gen Y: Small Hands, Big Ideas, Life Without Pants

5. What do you think the state of the blogosphere is in our region?

To be perfectly honest, I’m not that familiar with many bloggers in the region just because of the particular niches I’ve been most interested in. I’d LOVE to meet some more bloggers around here, so please reach out to me and let’s grab coffee!
