Goals, guidelines and a slab of "neatloaf"

I recently finished the MicroMentor Volunteer Recruitment Project – including project charter and project wrap up docs (actually reported some results today too.). I’m also completing conversion university classes from Google with goal of taking the Google analytics test. Doing tons of SEO research with another goal, i.e. creating useful SEO guidelines for my organization that won’t be overwhelming. Speaking of goals, I’ve been setting them up in Google and monitoring results. MicroMentor just finished a big new site launch and they are taking over the updating and creation of new pages (in-house), so I am hoping to write a UI Style Guideline for them before I leave.

I am planning to ramp up on some of the twitter tracking tools, since we are getting tweeted about now. Creating Facebook cause(s) is also on the agenda, as is attending an NTEN class tomorrow on Facebook for nonprofits “Using Facebook for Social Good”. Any advice from successful Facebook veterans would be appreciated.

I enjoyed the NTEN Conference; and most especially meeting up with fellow CTC Vistas. It was great to see Matt, Dan, Ben, Morgan, Art, Nate, Davina and Edward! We had a good time at dinner and some tasty huge slabs of (vegan!) meatloaf (called neatloaf). The NTEN Conference social networking and SEO seminars/notes are going to be a helpful resource. Next project, which is in the planning stage, is to encourage diversity when attracting new entrepreneur and mentor participants.

Sun is finally shining in Portland – hope it is shining on you too . . .
