We've been a little too complacent for a little too long about the important of "architectural magazines", whilst in actuality very few people have actually gone out of their way to buy these magazines (many architectural magazines are provided through professional memberships!) The decorating and "home" magazines are the ones that really matter to people, the ones that are within reach and within budget. Unlike the US, these magazines are actually growing in readership as the instinct to nest becomes more necessary...home decor writers have never been more important in Australia!Ms Unreliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18119338192240308159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890721230860764943.post-26687872859637443362009-03-27T13:56:00.000-07:002009-03-27T13:56:00.000-07:00There are so many of us Anons reading you.

I long for more of those wonderful stories House Beautiful used to publish: "Thoughts of Home." You design bloggers are helping to fill that longing . . .

My friend, Lisa, and I made this seminar our top priority for the day because we have such an interest in how blogging is affecting the interior design industry. <BR/>We are both students at FIDM, and are graduating shortly, so we understand the importance of pursuing all avenues to get our names out there effectively, professionally, and cheaply! I know blogging is a great way to do this, but I had a unexplainable apprehension to the whole idea until I heard you speak. I really appreciated how the panel put into perspective that you may get published for one month's issue in a shelter mag, but a blog is accessible for the next ten years. Even a website it great, but unless the content changes, it does not enable the sense of a personal relationship that clients and employers are seeking. You were also adamant about the importance of blogging and putting yourself out there in this industry. It gave both of us the confidence we needed to jump in; we decided to start a joint blog as soon as the seminar ended. Our first step was discussing different names for our blog on our drive home from the PDC. I will let you know when we post our first entry! <BR/>Thank you for sharing your success, and giving me perspective on how great a tool this is for an emerging design professional. <BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Jen Willhite<BR/>JenWillhite@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890721230860764943.post-7564683855697983142009-03-27T00:07:00.000-07:002009-03-27T00:07:00.000-07:00i really enjoyed the discussion today- thanks for ...i really enjoyed the discussion today- thanks for being brave enough to get up there and sharing all that good stuff with us!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158141401821966937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890721230860764943.post-31933797181896808712009-03-26T23:42:00.000-07:002009-03-26T23:42:00.000-07:00Happy it went so well!
