If you read Steven’s interview with me, you know that my blog was an important part of landing a new job. I always knew that blogging was a great way to record and share my passions, but I didn’t realize that it could also get me work.
I started my short-lived NaNoJobMo (a riff on NaNoWriMo) blog on November 1. The basis of NaNoWriMo is that anyone can be a novelist in a month as long as they plug away at it every day for 30 days. I thought I could apply the same logic to my job hunt. I would apply to a new job every day for 30 days, and I would do it publicly so the world could hold me accountable to my vow.

Review: Personal Branding Blog
Site: http://personalbrandingblog.com/
PROS: Covers a variety of personal branding issues, often with a sense of humor. Has a useful "beginner" section in the "About" and a variety of resources.
CONS: Wide variety may limit usefulness. Requires some time if you're not used to personal branding. Blog does play a role in promotion of its members (as to be expected). Blog is definitely focused on its subject – nothing extraneous here.
SUMMARY: A diverse resource for personal branding, worth at least temporarily putting into your newsfeed to see if you'll use it.
