Hello Marcombloggers. This post is for you. Please read the comments as all of my new students will write a little bit about themselves.
They have just launched their own blogs at PRblogs.org. I will be giving you the links in a few days. Let us allow them to get their feet wet first.

Hey Robert and Robert’s students! I am one of the professional contributors… and hope to contribute something meaningful. We’ll see!
Robert, are we on the same contribution procedure as last year?
All the best, Allan

Robert
Hey Allan, thanks for coming by.
Yes, we are going to follow the same practices as last year.

Take care.

Hey gang,
thanks for the intros. I look forward to some engaging dialogue this Spring.
Just a little clarification to those of you that have actually stopped by my blog, Adventures in Business Communications. While I post regularly on PR best practices, technology for PR, entrepreneurship, I also post on fun stuff like sports and politics. You may or may not agree with some of my posts…but that’s the point, right? Healthy disagreement is the foundation of our great country. It certainly makes for a healthy and competitive business environment. Feel free to disagree at any time…it’s your birthright as an American.
Now I’ll step down off my rickety soapbox…let’s have some fun! PLease don’t underestimate the value of open, online dialogue to your future as communicators.

Jennifer
Hi all,
I am not a student at Auburn, but I thought I would throw in my two cents (if you don’t mind, Robert)! I have been blogging on PRBlogs.org for several months now and it is quite an experience. I was actually introduced to the site by another blogging professional and I in turn try to recommend it to my friends and my classmates who are going to PR.
Whether you realize it or not, we already have a leg up on our peers. Many of my classmates unfortunately do not realize the benefit (or matter of fact, see no benefit) in blogging and may be at a loss if they shy away from it too much longer.
My advice to those of you who have never blogged before would be to thirst for knowledge, write your thoughts, and just have fun.

Robert
Hey Jennifer, not at all. Please join in all the conversations here. We will benefit from your involvement.
I think you are right. If nothing else, PR practitioners (and students) should be exploring blogs and considering their value as a tactic for PR. To not do so will leave you behind the pack.
Thanks for joining us and I hope the internship continues well. I know what you mean about the up and down times of activity. In event planning, for instance, my experience is that there is a lot of that “hurry up and wait” activity all the time.
Take care.
