It's always great to see organizations use blogs effectively and in the "right" tone, which you are surely accomplishing, and from which other organizations should definitely be taking notes from.

Keep up the great work!

Wow! Thanks so much for the write-up and the feedback.

When we really launched Cross Blog in 2008, we made it a priority to be timely, relevant and — most of all — authentic. We wanted to post fresh content as frequently as possible and take on any topic that touches the Red Cross (local, national and international disasters, blood donation, CPR, preparedness, volunteerism, etc…) — all with a personal and hopefully engaging tone.

Your post tells me that we’re heading in the right direction. It was an honor to be recognized as one of the NonProfit Times’ “Hottest Blogs of 2009,” but it’s even more powerful to have the support of our fellow PIOs and peers.

Thanks so much for sharing — and we’re excited to implement your labels suggestion!

- Lise
