What is the target audience for your organizational blog? How does that audience contribute to fulfilling the organization’s mission? What does the organization want of the target audience?
Has the organization targeted this audience in the past? If so, how? To what extent were these previous efforts successful? Was the medium of communication appropriate for the target audience (e.g., deaf persons are not likely to listen to the radio)? What problems did previous efforts encounter?
Given your understanding of the organization and your target audience, what possible things can you imaging writing about for the organizational blog? What issues or difficulties in communicating with and motivating the target audience do you anticipate?
In preparing and publishing the organizational blog, you are a representative of the organization. To whom in the organization do you report? Who in the organization approves your postings before they are published? It is crucial that you reach a clear understanding of these issues and procedures with organizational leaders.
Does the organization have a website? What is the address of that website, if they have one? What is (or will be) the address of the organization’s blog that you create(d) for them? Is it (or will it be) on their website or separate and linked to from their website? Which page(s) on their website links to the organization’s blog? Does their website support FTP access? If you chose to have your organization’s blog separate, was it because of organizational reasons (such as that they wanted it to be distinctly separate from their current website) or technological reasons (such as lack of FTP access or server-side scripting support) or some other reason? Which reasons?
