Do Dentists Blog? You Bet Your Teeth They Do

Let’s face it – Web 2.0 is where it’s at these days and if you don’t play the game you can lose out on serious online traffic. So this savvy cosmetic dentistry practice decided that they needed a blog to enhance their presence in cyberspace.

I write a handful of blog posts for them every month that they can publish at their leisure and voila! Regular content, fat and happy search engines, and more business for some smiling dentists. Here are a handful of posts written for this cosmetic dentistry blog.

Any business can implement a blog and make it work. Don’t want to write blog posts yourself? You know where to find me.

Writing for a Video Blog Site

The lawyers at Femminineo Attorneys run what they call a “Divorce Journal.” As far as legal blogs go, this one is pretty stellar as it features brief legal videos that are easy to understand (because, let’s face it, if you’re not an attorney, legalese can sometimes be tough to parse).

I write the summaries for each video to help provide fresh content for this site on a regular basis, to attract search engines, and, of course, to let readers know exactly what they’ll be watching.

The write-ups and videos combined provide folks with a quick, informative, bite-sized divorce education covering issues like child custody orders, jurisdiction, child support enforcement, spousal support, and how to calculate child support.

Check out a handful of the blog summaries.

Social Media – You Don’t Have to Do It All Yourself

For the Creative Class Exchange – aka, the source on how we live, work, and play – I do a lot of different things. Blog writing is one of them, though just a very small component overall. What I mostly do is manage the blog, edit and proof posts, and keep an eye on the group’s social networking adventures like Twitter and Facebook.

What’s that? You’re looking for a super-fly, multi-talented writer and editor and social media pro to help you out with your blog and all related goodies? Just give me a shout and we’ll caucus.

Provocative Relationship Blog Writing

For a little while, I did some writing for Ask Mars Venus, a relationship coaching and advice site. I penned regular installments for their relationship blog promoting their methodologies and highlighting juicy relationship and dating tidbits of interest to their community.

Here are a dozen blog entries that cover everything from snooping on your spouse to ooey-gooey nicknames, flirting to cheating, divorce to bedroom bliss. In no particular order.

Reading First (and Blog Writing After)

I’m the main poetry contributor (putting that MFA to good use!) for Novel Novice, a blog for all audiences whose main mission is to foster a life-long love of reading and a passion for books among today’s youth. Tagline: Open a book. Open your mind.

True that.

I treasure this opportunity to write about the poets I love, the collections that inspire me, and the punctuation that bothers me (specifically, the ampersand). But I also revel in the feedback that comes from our readers, particularly the ones who find great joy and motivation in my creative writing prompts.

Here’s a look at some of my favorite posts from Novel Novice. Reading, it’s good for you.
