Four sex abuse cases that were dropped by police or prosecutors are being reviewed by a new panel set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
As part of a wider overhaul of the approach to investigating child sex offences, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and police chiefs have formed a panel of experts to look at cases where they have previously advised against taking further action.
It has been revealed that four individuals from across the country have come forward to complain about their cases, covering a total of three suspects. Some of the referrals involve religious institutions.
Police and prosecutors also unveiled new child sexual exploitation and abuse guidelines, which stress victims must be allowed to seek counselling before trial, and make clear that children can be told when they are not alone in making claims against their alleged attacker.
Chief constable Dave Whatton, national policing lead on violence and public protection, said the cases referred to the panel so far were not related to celebrities, none fall under the grooming or gangs category but some are related to "religious institutions".
The panel will consist of a chief crown prosecutor, an Association of Chief Police Officers rank police officer, a specialist prosecutor and experienced child abuse police investigator and an independent representative from either the NSPCC or the Office of the Children's Commissioner.
Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Keir Starmer said he expects the number of cases referred to the panel to increase, adding: "The purpose is to look at any case where an individual says I came forward in the past and either the police or the prosecution took the decision not to take my case forward and ask the panel to look at it.
"We don't want the panel to become overly bureaucratic and we don't want it to sit if it's unnecessary. In many places round the country chief constables are saying we will look at cases again in any event. If you hearing that, you don't need to go to the panel and it's really much more straightforward for the victim."
Mr Starmer previously described the findings of the Savile inquiry, in which more than 200 criminal offences were recorded against the disgraced presenter's name, as a "watershed moment".
The new guidelines were drawn up to address major problems with the way in which prosecutors and police approached allegations made against Savile and other predatory child abusers.

Korean Confucian art
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Korean Confucian art took strong hold with the Yi generals who set in place the Joseon dynasty which distinguished itself in many ways by promoting Confucian thought as the basis for a new national vision. Differentiating itself by restraint, spartan choices of colour, and design, understatement, and great care and precision, the legacy of this art since the 13th century has been extensive throughout Asia.
Korean flower arrangement is part of the Confucian tradition.

The renaissance of the written word
Contemporary communication has very little to do with physical speech. Our main modes are generally based on the written word: text messaging, emails, social networking sites, chat programs etc, wheras say 20 years ago, it was all telephone and a little bit of letter writing. Post cards too. Does anyone else miss postcards? I do.
Anyway, some may say that this equals the "Renaissance" of the written word, and by most accounts, they could be forgiven for think so. We write everything, text everything, but really, this language we're so fond of is getting RAPED.
The most obvious example is texting. Shortening words to their base parts is, I believe, a form of illiteracy. It started in text messages and chat programs, and now kids have begun to use it in their school work. Evolution of language you might say, and I can see why; English has indeed always been evolving. But this is complete de-evolution. With a decrease in complication of language must come a decrease in the brain's ability to deal with comples systems… Not only does writing "c u l8er 2nite" make you appear dumb, it may actually MAKE you dumber. One forgets how to do things without practise. Be careful all you adults who do that shit. It's annoying to receive as well.
I'm sure that that the majority of kids under 17 years old do most of their writing while chatting to their friends, or making stupid quizzes on facebook, a forum in which they are not going to get pulled up on their terrible grammar or spelling. They see their peers doing the same thing, writing the same way, they bring it to the classroom, and some bright-spark fucking wannabe revolutionary teacher notices the information generation doing this shit and goes "Wow. This is history. Let's try to get the rules changed for these morons so they can include "text-speak" in their essays." WHAT?? NO?! Anyone with half a brain should be able to see its just laziness. SURE, our fast-paced lifestyles encourage a degree of need for some time saving techniques, and SURE, the internet has opened up a whole new way of thinking about the world and humanity and communication, but there is no fucking way these kids are saying "ROFL" so as to save time while studying, or anything else that might be helping their brains grow; they're saying "ROFL" to save time so that they can say "ROFL" in reply to 20 of their friends inane status updates before their mum yells at them again to come to the dinner table.
Speaking of facebook, social networking sites have created some almighty fuckups in the way people socialise. I say fuckups, because it really should be perceived in a negative light, despite the fact that I am the kind of person who welcomes this change (because I am a bit shy)… Friendships are now more commonly forged and even solidified by looking at each other's photos and written information, instead of talking face to face and sharing experiences. It goes like this: you're on facebook, checking the comments on your tagged photos, and you find a friend request from that dude you met a few weeks ago at that bar when you were trashed, and you vaguely remember you had a good conversation about something silly but still, it was kind of awesome, and you notice you've got 15 friends in common so you think "why not?", click accept, write "hello, was rad to meet you –insert reference to drunk conversation here-" and then maybe chat a little on the chat thing a few tinmes, exchange witty banter on a mutual friend's photo comment, and then before you know it, you're saying hello to each other at that some bar, and awkwardly talking, but majority of your interaction is made up of sending each other youtube clips of shit you both find funny. Okay, so maybe it's not a TOTALLY negative thing. It can be great. Infact, I have a great time on facebook. BUT, it's definitely not… uh… right? Normal? Healthy? Fuck, I don't know. The internet could be utilised far more intelligently, I know that much.
But I have digressed completely (and am also very aware that I am not the best example of brilliant use of language, just in case you were wondering). We are writing a whole lot more these days, possibly the most in human history. So we really need to do future generations a big favour, and try to keep as many letters are possible. English can be a beautiful language. The right piece of poetry or prose can sometime change a person's life for the better. I don't believe that anyone will be as affected by this famous line if it is written like this: "o romeo romeo were4 r u romeo? Dni ur dad + refz his name or if u wnt b but swrn my luv + ill no lnger b a capulet."
Case closed.

As many of you who read this blog know, in the past I've not minced words or sugar coated my feelings about the whole Dwyane-Siohvaughn-Gabbie debacle, or my concern for the ex-couple's children, but it seems that this hot mess of a (dysfunctional) family saga has finally come to an end; at least legally. Last week, the Miami Heat star was awarded permanent physically custody of his two sons, ending an extensive (and exhaustive, I'm sure) legal battle with his ex-wife Siohvaughn Wade.
And while I have also been unapologetically vocal (and admittedly biased) about my feelings as they pertain to how Wade handled his divorce from the wife who bore his children and stood by him before the league, championship rings, flashing lights, actresses and endorsements came a'callin', I must admit that in light of her multiple and well-documented instances of crazy recently, it definitely may be for the best that he is now legally the primary caregiver for his sons.
I think that we can all agree that in spite of the beds that the adults made for themselves in this situation (and later tumble around in), the best interest of the children should have always been the focal point of the issue. In her "woman-scorned" vindictiveness over the years however (remember back when Siohvaughn had legal custody of the boys and she would "adjust" Wade's visitation times on a whim, or not let him in her gate to even pick the children up?), I think Siohvaughn may have lost sight of that fact, and in doing so lost custody of her sons.
But in fairness to D-Wade, one thing he has never faltered on publicly since things went array with The Missus has been his love and continued concern for his boys. And in light of his Charlie Sheen-esque "winning" this past week (custody of the kids and Eastern Conference Player of The Week…¿en fuego, no?) I sincerely do wish him all the best as he embarks on this (re)newed excursion into daddydom.

Top 10 Greatest Goalkeepers of all time. In many team sports involving scoring goals, the goalkeeper is a player designated directly to prevent the opposing team from marking, by intercepting kicks to the goal. Such positions exist in football, water polo, ice hockey, among others.
Usually special rules apply to the goalkeeper, which do not apply to other players. These rules are often instituted to protect the goalkeeper, being an obvious target for dangerous or even violent actions. Standing out in this position is difficult, but these people have made history wherever they went. In this selection we highlighted the top 10 goalkeepers of all time in football.

Ferguson bought Schmeichel for a small fee of 505,000 pounds that Scot later called "business of the century."

text: Saudi Arabia to be blacklisted by the European Commission 2019/02/08, 21:43 The European Commission is planning on naming and shaming Saudi Arabia by including the kingdom on its lists of countries failing to fight money laundering. The list, which will be approved next week, has caused a spat within the EU with a number of countries – including the UK – opposing the decision to take a tougher stance against the Persian Gulf state. Brussels has been seeking a tougher European-level enforcement of anti-money laundering rules to keep dirty money out of its financial system. The result is an anti-money laundering blacklist that will include Riyadh and more than 20 other territories over alleged failures to fight illicit cash flows and terrorist financing.The list, which is the first of its kind from Brussels, accuses the kingdom of "strategic deficiencies" in its efforts to fight illicit cash flows. Under the EU law, Europe's banks will have to carry out "enhanced" checks on funds coming from these countries. Once approved, banks will be required to steer clear of dubious transactions and pass concerns onto authorities.Brussels' decision to include Riyadh has caused a spat between the commission and the EU's biggest member states that are opposed to Europe taking a tougher stance on Saudi Arabia. The inclusion of the kingdom, which remains a close western ally despite the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey last year, has become a central point of contention in recent weeks.Governments led by the UK, and including Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium and Greece, criticised the draft blacklist at a meeting of EU ambassadors this week, according to diplomats cited in the Financial Times. The UK said it had "serious concerns" over the commission's plans with other capitals agreeing that governments needed more consultation before countries were placed on the list.EU officials dismissed the criticism saying: "Member states had plenty of time to respond to the list but have only woken up now because of the Saudis." The Commission's President, Jean-Claude Juncker, and the justice commissioner, Vera Jourova, will be ploughing ahead with Saudi's inclusion when the blacklist is expected to be signed off by the college of commissioners next week."The blacklist is bitterly needed. Member states must not cannibalise it," said Sven Giegold, a Green MEP.EU governments and MEPs will have 30 days to hold votes to block its approval; an outcome that is said to be highly unlikely.

HuTong Dumpling Bar, Melbourne
HuTong Dumpling Bar features pretty prominently in many people's top dumpling lists, so being in a dumpling-sort-of-mood we decided to head along. Not sure if it's a booking type of place, but we headed in and was lucky (?) to find a table pretty easily in what was a very busy restaurant.
Service was somewhat uneasy over the course of our stay, they were efficient though. Probably as they want to get tables turned out pretty quickly I guess.
Food came pretty quick, and we ordered a mix of dishes and a few dumpling ones for good measure. They ended up being the better of the selections although I was happy with everything in total. I liked the sizzle part (or whatever it's called) the dumplings came in and the dough was fresh and thin with the filling meaty and well, filling. I had particularly high hopes for the shao long bao but I don't think it ascended beyond good and on the table I ended up eating most of them after hyping it up. Mixed emotions.
In a moment of weakness we ordered a vegetable dish. This was regrettable. Nah, it was okay. Last to the table was the crispy spring chicken with garlic and this was standard asian takeout fare. Meat was a bit on the dry side and garlic was subtle to the level we questioned if it was forgotten or not, but was to polite to enquire. Anyway, food's not too bad at HuTong Dumpling but probably doesn't need to be hyped up any more.
Pro tip: order lots for sharing

Students share tactics on creating change
Through a live webcast, the Rutgers United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) and the Rutgers Student Union heard tips on how to foster social change from their colleagues across the nation.
Attendees of last night's "Take Back The Economy" event at 11 Stone St., watched the national USAS conference and discussed future tactics for raising awareness on issues.
Molly Magier, organizing director of the USAS University chapter, was one of a handful of student speakers at the Washington, D.C. conference. She spoke on the "Walk into Action" protest against tuition hikes last semester.
"I felt, I don't want to help victims of the systems anymore. I wanted to change the system," she said.
Magier, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said the march on Voorhees mall — which attracted more than one hundred participants — and the 34-hour sit-in was successful.
"Because of our actions, the University experienced only a 1.8 percent tuition hike, which is the lowest in two decades," she said.
Back in New Jersey, about two dozen participants discussed how to improve social actions and awareness last night, including how to combat the pay freeze on faculty salaries.
The organization's latest attempt to reach out to University President Richard L. McCormick was last Wednesday, through a letter proposing the end of a three-year pay freeze.
It was halted by the Rutgers University Police Department, who blocked the entrance of Old Queens on the College Avenue campus, Magier said.
Students eventually received a response from McCormick, but it was not what the students and faculty were hoping for, she said.
McCormick came out of the building and listened to the students, but said he could not comment on the pay freeze because the University is in an arbitration process, Magier said.
"President McCormick had empty things to say," she said. "I was hugely disappointed in his response."
McCormick was not able to respond at press time, but University officials hope to resolve labor issues by talking with the unions and not through ad hoc protests, demonstrations or press releases, according to a statement.
"Rutgers and institutions across the nation continue to grapple with serious fiscal challenges," according to the statement. "Rutgers' goal has been to avoid layoffs during this period of extraordinary economic stress on our state and its citizens."
The University enacted a freeze on pay raises three years ago on staff and faculty, Magier said.
"In order to share the burden, the union in good faith put off raises for one year," she said. "But the University still hasn't paid raises since then, which amount to $40 million."
Joseph Cashin, a Rutgers Student Union member and one of the nine students delivering the letter, said USAS and Rutgers Student Union members believe the inaction hurts the University tremendously.
"The faculty is not getting what is owed to them and President McCormick just keeps repeating what he's said, that the University fully intends to pay the raises," Cashin said, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore.
The University chapter of USAS became involved in protesting the pay freeze through working with other labor organizations, Magier said.
"[Our effort] was born out of the Rutgers Labor Association," she said. "We've done a lot of work abroad, but we wanted to do something local."
The American Association of University Professors-American Federation of Teachers University chapter funded an independent analysis of the University's budget conducted by Howard Bunsis of Eastern Michigan University, said Patrick Nowlan, executive director of AAUP-AFT.
Magier said the analysis shows that the University had a budget surplus last year, but has not paid the faculty's salary raises.
Data from the analysis found on the AAUP-AFT University chapter's website claims the University has a $177 million surplus as of fiscal year 2010.
The University has not confirmed this amount.
"We are concerned that the administration is not fulfilling the primary needs of the University," Nowlan said. "We need to have priorities and balance."
Magier said while the two contracts are independent from one another, she thinks the University should honor the contract with the professors and other faculty.
"We don't want to defund the athletic department," she said. "We just want the money from the pay freeze paid back."
Nowlan said the University has lost many valuable staff members because of the pay freeze, as there have been dozens of examples in which tenured professors have left.
"If professors get frustrated and say Harvard, Michigan, Berkley or North Carolina is recruiting them, and they have a pay freeze, they will leave," he said.
Nowlan said, while professors experienced a pay freeze, the administration grew by 82 percent over the past five years, adding more expenditures.
"They have hired a lot of new deans and associate deans and the question is, 'Are we too top heavy?'" he said.
Data from the University shows that only five executive, administrative and managerial positions were added between 2005 and 2010.
Cashin, who is also correspondent secretary of the Rutgers University Student Assembly (RUSA), said last night's meeting was to educate students about the issues.
"We want to keep the momentum and build student power against the grievances we have against [administration]," he said.

Gold Coast Sign's Future To Be Debated By Council
Move it, leave it or scrap it?
The infamous Gold Coast sign is back in the spotlight today.
It was supposed to be the city's answer to the Hollywood sign over in the US, but officials are now debating whether to pull the expensive light posts on the M1 down for good.
The $2,000,000 artwork was erected between the north- and south-bound lanes on the M1 at Yatala ahead of the Commonwealth Games to welcome visitors to the region, but motorists were quick to point out they could barely read the words as they zoomed passed at 110km/h.
Over a year after it was installed, the Transport and Infrastructure Committee was due to gather behind closed doors on Tuesday to discuss its options.
A report was ordered last year to look into whether to spend more cash to move the sign to a different location, whether to pull it down and put it in storage, or whether to simply leave it as is.

The Heywood's have been clients for a few years, but this time I got to meet their newest addition and he did NOT disappoint! Kellen is absolutely adorable and Mom said, "If you are going to have a surprise addition...they should all be this good!" Historic O'Fallon in the outskirts of St. Charles was a great spot with the old house to capture this adorable family.
They Heywood clan is full of love and laughter and it was an absolute joy to capture them.

Making Hay
Wild, warm and as Tom Waits once sang "...there's a wind up from the south...". Gorgeous post-dawn walk on the beach (Coppet Hall) with Eloise, Watson (poor dog, recently mended after swallowing a pesky baited fish-hook, a huge thank you thank you to the brilliant Tenby vets). And of course CJ the lovely mad Sprollie who chases seagulls but ignores crows.
Todays Postcard from Pembrokeshire is painted from Back Lane in Sardis, a lazy lane which wanders steeply down to Wisemans Bridge. At the top of the lane they've just cut the hay. This for me is the smell of summer, reminds me in an almost Proustian way of being a kid working on our neighbours' farms: stacking bales, scratchy forearms, creeping over rusty hay trailers. Huge teas afterwards. And lying on top of the (over) stacked hay trailers ducking under the trees as we wobbled back to the farm.

WatchTrippin 2018 - Episode 1 - Geneva greet!
Today we are starting to share with you the first episode of our WatchTrippin adventure held this year. This included some some exciting visits to Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Ulysse Nardin, Girard Perregaux, URWERK, but also other players of the industry such as Agenhor, the Geneva Watchmaking School and of course the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva to set some solid grounds for this great trip.
Naturally the visits are always fascinating, but the time spent in between are just as important and pleasant. Informal talks, big watchmaking debates and of course great dinners are really part of the package!
The best part is really the great human bonds made during this trip, because as we always say on TheWATCHES.tv, watchmaking is all about people!!!
We will soon air specific episodes per visits, but today we just wanted to plant the decor for what is about to be shared with you and meet Ron, Keith, Fernando, Morgan and Mark.
In 2019 we will do many more of these WatchTrips and we naturally are really looking forward greeting you and we will soon make some serious announcements in terms of programs and dates so everyone can really plan well in advance.

After finally getting the kids to bed by 2200hrs (don't judge me. Besides, all 3 were out of bed, screaming their heads off by 0700hrs), I had a lovely bath and settled in for an early night.
It never works like that, though, does it? Lovefilm had sent us one of the Breaking Bad DVDs, so me and The Boss decided to compromise between a much-needed early night and a much-wanted DVD-a-thon. So we watched one episode. Afterwards, The Boss stumbled into the bathroom for a quick teeth-brush before sleep.
I know I've moaned before about his love of decorating Every. Single. Empty. Surface. in the house with Stuff. I spend hours clearing a surface (I like empty surfaces); he immediately takes a few minutes to cover it in rubbish. Anyway, when we came back from holiday, the windowsill of the bathroom was empty. By the time he went in to the bathroom to clean his teeth, it was covered. He knocked over a glass bottle that he'd dumped on the windowsill, and tried to snatch it before it fell. Unfortunately, he grabbed his razor – which he'd also dumped on the windowsill – and sliced the top of his finger off.
It took about half an hour for the bleeding to subside and for me to stop mocking him. Within that, it took about 20 minutes for me to remember that, actually, he's really, really rubbish around the sight of blood, and that maybe he might faint. The remaining 10 minutes were spent bickering about what kind of dressing he needed. He favoured the sliver-thin, invisible, tiny plaster; I preferred the monster dressing-and-bandage, topped with a tied bow, cartoon-stylee. Given that it really didn't want to stop oozing blood despite over 10 minutes of direct pressure and holding above his head, I won. I swapped the bandage for sticky Omnifix instead, though, because I'm a truly loving wife and actually feel really sorry for him.
So neither of us has had much sleep. Again. As for a possible tetanus injection requirement, I think I might as well phone and book a GP for an entire morning to sort us all out: all 5 of us need to see a GP for various bits and bobs that really aren't urgent at all, but probably shouldn't be ignored. Wouldn't it be great if I could count up all the issues that I need to discuss with a GP, and book a corresponding number of adjoining appointments with one GP, ship the zoo along to the surgery, and get it all over and done with in a oner?!
Ah well, tomorrow promises to be a better day

10 Top Tips To Improve Your Blog
In the information age, blogging has become one of those things that every marketing company will say you need to do. We are no exception. The problem is that blogging is something that in theory is simple to do (just write some stuff and upload it, right?) but in reality, it's a lot harder to do. Well, you're in luck. We have assembled our 10 top tips to help you improve the performance of your existing blog and turn it into a hub of interactions and marketing buzz. Sound good? Great! Let's get started.
Use Categories
When you're uploading your blog to your website, you will have the option to put your blog into a category, usually through a menu on the right-hand side. Most people either completely ignore this function or put everything under 'news'. Which is fine, but it won't really help your blog perform. Categories within your blog act as signposts to Google and to your readers, indicating what the content is all about. Users can filter your posts by category to quickly find what they are looking for, which will improve your bounce rates because your content is easy to find. Categories will also help Google identify and catalogue your content correctly, boosting your search engine rankings. Categories can be anything, so all you need to do is make sure they are relevant to what you're talking about. For example, if you run a baking company you might want to have categories for different ingredients, decoration tips or recipes. There is no right or wrong category – if it's relevant to your content it will do the job.
Enable Sharing Options
Sharing is a big part of getting your blog out there, so there are a few simple things you can do to encourage sharing. A lot of blogs will have the ability to install a button that the user can click and share the content to Facebook and Twitter. These 2 are usually considered the 'safe' options, so companies enable them and leave them to it. But what if the majority of your customers aren't on Facebook? What if they are on LinkedIn or Pinterest instead? Do a little research and find out where your customers are, then install the right buttons to share to those networks. It's really easy, and most users are more likely to share your content if it's just clicking a button instead of copying and pasting a link.
The Power Of Sub Headings
Once you've written your blog post and you're ready to upload it, you need to give a bit of thought to the layout. Once you've hit copy and paste and justified the text so it looks nice and neat (if you don't it's a cardinal crime against blogging), you need to separate it out. Big blocks of text are hard to read and put people off, so split up your content with relevant sub headings. Like that big bold bit above this section. But it's important to remember that these headings aren't just a bigger text size in bold. When you're uploading your blog your toolbar will have text options, with the default being 'paragraph'. For your subheadings, you will need to highlight the text and change this to 'Heading 1' or 'Heading 2'. This will make them bigger and bold to visually separate your points, but it also signals to Google what each section is about. Everything we do with blogging is to please Google, so it's the little things that make a difference!
Make A Clear Call To Action
A blog is a nice information resource to have, but it should always have a purpose. You should always be asking your readers to do something when they have finished reading your blog. This doesn't have to be anything huge, it could be as simple as call me, click this link, watch this video. Make sure you have a call to action in there somewhere and it is clear to the reader. You can do this through fonts, colours or underlines, (which is all done automatically if your call to action is a link).
Cross Linking
Cross linking your content to other content is a great way to lower your bounce rates and keep readers on your site. When your content is relevant, make sure you are including a link to another blog post in there. For example, if we were talking about creative block, we would link to this post we wrote a few months ago. If you've touched on an issue in a previous blog, or one of your web pages it relevant, link to it. This keeps people interested and on your website, not to mention that Google loves it too.
Images Are Power
As humans we are very visual beings, so pictures play a big part in mainstream and content marketing. Use images to break up text, be an informative illustration of a point or to decorate the post and attract the reader's attention. Include a header image and 1 in the blog somewhere for maximum impact, just make sure they don't get too overpowering. Pay attention to size and placement so that they don't dominate the post. It's also good practice to make sure those images are tagged with an appropriate description and alt text to help Google categorise them. These are found in the image uploader underneath the thumbnail in most systems.
Listen To Your Readers
A lot of people stop blogging because they run out of things to talk about. But take it from someone who wrote blogs about ring binders for a year (yes, I really did!), it is impossible to run out of thing to talk about. Keep an ear to the ground and develop your content from social suggestions. Social content that gets higher than normal engagement is a tip off for a post idea. If people pose questions to you on Facebook, Twitter or even in person, write a blog as a response to the question (after answering directly of course). Look into what people are sharing and talking about on social media or in the real world and present your spin on things. When you start thinking creatively, there is no limit to what you can talk about.
Carefully Craft Magnetic Headlines
This might get a tad confusing, but headlines are different from headings. Your headings go within your text, but your headline is just a fancy word for your title. Writing headlines is hard, but ultimately it's what convinces people to click on your content, so you've got to get them right. You have 68 characters to inform and hook your readers and getting those characters to be informative yet intriguing takes some practice. Writing headlines is like solving a difficult crossword puzzle, sometimes you have to take a stab at it in pencil and step back to see if it's the right one. Ultimately it's practice and trial and error. If you want to see the effect of headlines, try the article on 2 different groups (say one on LinkedIn and one on Facebook) with different titles and measure the response. Whichever post gets more attention and interaction is moving in the right direction.
Plan For The Marathon, Not The Sprint
A big mistake people often make with content marketing in general and blogging, in particular, is that they will see instant results. This just isn't true. If you want your content marketing to be successful, you've got to plan, prepare and be in it for the long haul. Spend some time planning out your content and strategy so that you have a strong and cohesive plan to move forward with. Never amble through your blogging not knowing what you're talking about next. At Eleven Eight, for example, we have a 6-month plan for each of our blogging clients that details the titles, links, subjects and metadata for each of their posts. If you're not sure about how to plan out your content, get in touch for some advice.
Share, Share Share!
One of the biggest reasons that blogs fail is because people get bored of writing them or run out of things to say. The second reason is that people write and publish them but don't actually do anything with them. Your blog can do a lot of work for Google just sitting on your site, but it needs your help to generate a buzz about your business. Make sure you're sharing links on social media, in your networks and in person. Tell people about your blog and people will read it. Leave it alone and your Google ranking might go up and but it won't do a lot else. Writing the blog is unfortunately only half the battle, so you need to get comfortable with sharing!
Ultimately blogging is a great tool for reinforcing branding, giving advice and establishing yourself as the subject matter expert, but they take time and dedication to get right. If you're thinking about blogging for your business, take a step back and decide if you have the time to dedicate to it, or whether you need to bring someone else in to help you out. At Eleven Eight we have a range of blogging services and training courses to help you on your way to blogging like a pro, so just give us a call to chat about which options are right for you.
