Just Do It

So every company (whether it's cars, restaurants, or clothing lines) has a catchy slogan. Slogans are made to try to reach out to the public.

One of my all time favorite slogans has always been Nike's. "Just Do It." Simply and straight to the point. It's known all around the world. I like the fact that it's not long and it's unlike any other store or companies slogan. Anyone of any age could see the Nike "swoosh" and be able to recall it's ever so catchy "Just Do It."

Along with it's catchy phrase the commercials also catch my attention. Whether it's just some athletes playing basketball to music or a girl running to a upbeat track, I can always know when it's a Nike commercial.

Blog Comments

So what do we live for on Facebook? Like many others, when I log onto FB I hope for new notifications or messages. It's what makes us feel so important. On a similar note, thats what makes blogging so fun and worth while. Leaving comments on other people's blogs is what makes blogging so special. If you're a blogger, you should be leaving comments on other blogs, for all the benefits you get from it. Even if you don't have your own blog, blog commenting is a great way to get more information on the subject you're interested and reading about. Another plus, is that if you're just starting off blogging, it's an awesome way to get your name or blog out there.


There are many characteristics of writing an effective blog comment. For instance, if you have a question to the blogger go ahead and ask it. Ask for more opinions if you're confused or just for more knowledge. Believe it or not, blog comments are an excellent way to build relationships with key people in your field. Job wise, commenting on blogs demonstrates that you’re an active member of your "online world", you’re passionate enough to participate in conversations related to your area of expertise, and you’re intelligent enough to add value to conversations.
