# Blogging and PR

“What goes up, always comes around,” as James’ grandmother likes to say.

Now there’s the “come around”. Things are leveling out, we’re starting to understand the roles blogs play in assisting with corporate identity, as focus groups, compliant centres and positive feedback loops, as … add your come around here …

Today I read some great posts on PR, blogs and the news. For my reference and yours, here are the links:

[ Top 10 Risks for Corporate Blogs](http://overtonecomm.blogspot.com/2007/02/top-10-risks-for-corporate-blogs.html) by Kami Watson Huyse, APR. She is the principal of My PR Pro, an independent public relations consultancy based in San Antonio, Texas.

[7 Signs That Your Press Release Sucks](http://nakedpr.com/2007/03/05/7-signs-that-your-press-release-sucks) by NakedPR, a PR blog from Jennifer Mattern. Kind of practical but worth noting.

(http://prtech.wordpress.com/2007/03/08/measuring-pr-what-i-learned-going-in-house/) by Cece Salomon-Lee, marketing communications manager for ON24. Totally awesome tips on how to track campaigns.

(http://www.stuartbruce.biz/2007/02/how_to_get_a_bu.html) by Stuart Bruce. A little hard to read this post, but good info regardless.

I found these posts on (http://newpr.crispynews.com/), a site where users submit articles and readers choose which stories make it to the top. A bit like (http://www.digg.com) but with a PR focus.
