I Heart Daily: Redesigned in WordPress & Featured in Seventeen Magazine

I'm so excited to announce that we've finally redesigned IHeartDaily.com! The site was born in 2008 from beer & conversations at Brooklyn's Soda Bar with Anne Ichikawa and Melissa Walker, former ElleGirl editors who wanted to start a DailyCandy-style site for teen girls. After less than a year, we were nominated for a Bloggie award alongside Jezebel (WHAAAA???), and now, over 3 years later, we've updated to new tech and new design and we're all very happy and fuzzy inside. Oh, and you may have seen us in Seventeen Magazine this month. No big deal.

Check out the site for my design, illustrations, and fabulous Wordpress coding knowledge. We built the original site in MoveableType (oh, 2008!) and it was fun and refreshing to build a new Wordpress site for the gals.

Blogging for NameCandy.com

I've had a lot of fun blogging twice a week for NameCandy.com, the pop-culture name blog that supports the super innovative Baby Name Wizard tool. When I started writing for this site, I was amazed at how often the topic of names was in the news. Read some of my blog posts about how Hurricane Names affect naming trends, Elizabeth Taylor's baby name choices, maiden names worth $500,000, and the naming of the Bronx Zoo Cobra.

And you really need to check out the Baby Name Wizard. This is the popularity of my name since the beginning of the US Census naming records:

Blogging for Brands

I'm currently a regular contributor to a few blogs, writing weekly pieces while I hang out with my laptop in coffee shops buying something ever 45 minutes to justify my table space. Yes, that's right: I'm a twenty-first century professional blogger. And I love it.

Blogging as a profession consists of copywriting, image sourcing, CMS production, and SEO skills. Keep up with my work:
