To return the compliment, I love your blog too. I'm just jealous that you always seem to have the greatest ideas for posts and they always turn out so well. I guess you have a lot of material around though ;-) I agree about blurring the line between personal and professional. It's something that I'd like to concentrate on more in the future, but I'm still trying to figure out the balance. The problem is that when I come home from work, I'm usually too pooped to think about anything PR-related. I've been trying as much as possible to just sit down with a good book instead of wasting another three hours at home in front of the computer. --- Don't you just love the Internet? I can't believe how many fantastic people I've met (virtually and in person) through this blog. If I find myself in New York soon, I'd love to take you and your special one out for coffee :-) Thanks Dylan! To return the compliment, I love your blog too.

Although I have to confess that I like to think of myself as one of the "not bad" ones as well. I love your blog Melanie - I'm always glad to see a new post from you pop up in my reader, and I think you've got plenty of good and relevant things to say. If I was to offer any constructive feedback, it would be that maybe you could use your non-work life to make a few more work points on occasion (your posts tend to fall into 'pretty much all work' and 'pretty much non-work' categories, whereas I'm sure the reality is much more blurred and could make your points even stronger?? As a communications person, I'm always looking for how work and life collide. I don't blog about it though, admittedly, so who am I to talk? And can I just say that I am very happy that you are the one blogger I've met who I've had enough interaction with that you've passed over onto my Facebook friends list! dylan I work in PR, and almost spat my tea out over my screen at the first line of the answer to number four!
