Historical organizations are sitting on that rare and valuable beastie on the internet: interesting content. This makes blogging an attractive option for sharing local history, showing what you have, and exploring issues concerning history and society. Join bloggers Elaine Clements and Anthony Vaver for a conversation about their experiences. What do they write about? What do they NOT write about? Do they have one author or more? What kids of responses do they get? Do they repurpose information and blog posts? How often do you need to write/publish to make it successful? What are the advantages and disadvantages of different platforms? What are some of the do’s and don’ts of blog writing? Come share your successes and the obstacles you have had to overcome in your own blogging experiences.
A conversation with veteran history bloggers Elaine Clements of the Andover Center for History and Culture and History Buzz, and Anthony Vaver of the Westborough Center for History and Culture at the Westborough Public Library (author of Westborough Center Pastimes)
