I know, I know, I've been fairly MIA the past two months, but not without good reason, I assure you! And definitely not absent from blogging. In fact, I've been blogging more than ever!
I suppose now is a good time to introduce my new blog to you all - Westbound Boarder. The blog is about boardsports, and its exclusively for women who ride (though we don't discriminate against men who'd like to read, too!) It is a project shared by a good friend and myself, and our hope down the road is to grow this into more of a support group and resource for women who snowboard.
This project has been a great way for me to step out of my PR shoes and see the other side of things - what it's like being pitched, what things affect traffic numbers, etc. - and it has really helped me understand the agenda of bloggers I work with on a daily basis. I've also been learning a lot about the technical side of things, which has been helpful just in simple conversation. And its a great way to combine my two hobbies - boardsports and blogging.
My goal with this blog (aka, my somewhat abandoned PR blog) is to completely rebrand and import to wordpress/self-host, now that I know a bit more about the platform and process.
Another blogging-related project I'm involved with is the Social 7 - a weekly video podcast conversation on the week's top 7 stories in social media and marketing. Starting by two coworkers and myself, it has been a fun project, and is helping build our brand as social media experts in the PR industry. Definitely check it out!
Until then, I'll try to post when I can until I have a chance to develop my snazzy new wordpress blog :)

Hi I saw your site off who is following twistup on twitter and you were one of them.
Let me know if you need any help with wordpress, I would love to help a fellow LA blogger.
Thanks for the comment, Rob! I would love to eventually transfer this blog to WordPress and do a complete redesign/rebrand; however my first priority is Westbound Boarder, at the moment. Let me know what you think about the site! We could definitely use a tip or two :) Hope you enjoyed Twiistup last night!
Andrea,
Thank you for commenting on my blog recently! I look forward to reading your posts and your new blog about snowboarding. As a female snowboarder, I am sure I will find it interesting and useful! Thank you again!
Thanks Ali, and thanks for checking out our new blog! If you ever have any story ideas (or want to be a guest blogger!) please do let me know. Good Luck!
-Andrea
