Branding, Fasting, and Wondering
January 12, 2008 | by Jennifer Gniadecki | Filed Under Blogging, The Everything Basket
Ok, it’s not quite as bad as Cybil.
I have two companies with an online presence, one personal blog, and one product coming out that’s not named after any of them. There will be more products with the same name.
While I don’t want a personal blog (even though my version of personal includes lots of marketing and business stuff) to be directly attached to my company, do I want the things from the company coming out of the company page?
I think I just answered my own question.
Sad to say, that website is going to need an extreme makeover for the launch of the product. Maybe not sad, the site has never been given “one true love” status like this blog’s design has.
I’d like it to look …. well let’s just say I know how I want it to look, and how I want it to function. I just have to get from point A to point Z by the end of the month. There don’t seem to be enough hours in the day.
Perhaps I need to go on a media fast in order to get it done. Just go offline except for Notepad, Word, and Google Docs. For the rest of the month.
I wonder if I can do it. More importantly, I wonder if anyone would notice. Oh, wait, I’d have to blog. So Notepad, Word, Google Docs, email (I am still running a business here), and WordPress.
There are a couple business project that will require me to be on MySpace too, but not my own account. Does that count?
Goodness, this is more difficult that I originally thought it would be. The Internet and I have a very close relationship, don’t we? Co-dependent perhaps? Be that as it may I still have to do something to stop from learning new things every day and stick to the things I know and am committing to paper over the next two weeks. That’s just the way it has to be.
Or I’ll never get it done. Wish me luck, I’m going to need it. Updates to follow, of course.

Got something to say?
Jen, I’m loving your new blog. Great job! I also wanted to let you know that you have been tagged m’dear for a meme.
