After reading a great article by Patrick de Laive on the Next web called the ultimate personal branding wordpress theme, I started thinking about something that I wrote in response to his main question which was:
"if blogging is a must in personal branding, how come there is no ultimate personal branding blogging theme for WordPress?
I was looking for a new design of my personal blog. I wanted an upgrade, something that would
- look neat.
- would make it easy for me to update on a regular basis.
- a blog that keeps track of what I’m doing all over the web, so my parents, less web savvy friends and people who are interested in me (for business purposes) get a one stop shop blog with all (interesting) info."
I know how Patrick feels. Anyone trying to get a quick handle on personal branding does too. What I wrote in response got me thinking that maybe I should come up with the answer myself…
"What we need is a branding service that will automatically generate a web site for you with all of your preferred social networks and blog spaces integrated and formatted with a cohesive, easily changeable theme. Is that too much to ask? Or would that take all the fun out of it?
If it’s not already out there I’m sure it’s not far off."
So if there are any ingenious developers out there who are not at this moment stealing my idea for themselves, and who would care to partner with me on the next big thing, let me hear from ya!!
Until then I guess I will try to keep posting tips to make this branding thing easier on us all.
But seriously, you ingenious developers? www.fishdogs.com/contact -CF
