I’m not sure when 13 became my lucky number. I guess at some point I decided to shed the number of its negative reputation and embrace it in my life. Thirteen has become so engrained in our family that it’s even my daughter’s basketball number. I’m not sure if my husband and son think it’s lucky (or even think of it at all), but she and I … [Read more...]
12 is Time to Delve
A dozen years is a long time. It's 4,380 days and more than 105,120 hours. I wonder how many of those hours I've spent on this site. Do you notice that I call it a "site" now. Twelve years after it launched, I don't even call it a "blog" anymore. Blogs are much less trendy now. I'm not sure students would even visit if I called it a … [Read more...]
My 7 Most Popular Posts of 2017
I love the annual blog review that happens around the new year. It's a great time to look at everything I've written during the year and see if any trends developed. I've noticed during the past few years that many of my most popular posts stay the same, sprinkled in with new ones from the current year. This year was no exception. Four of my … [Read more...]
11 is Progression
The first post I wrote on this blog 11 years ago should never be viewed again—ever. I'm not sure you could find it, even if you went back and tried. I think I deleted it or lost it in one of the many crashes. We don't want to talk about how many times I've broken the internet in 11 years. I wrote that original post while I was attending the … [Read more...]
My 5 Most Popular Posts of 2016
Some years just start with a struggle that make you wonder if the entire year is going to be so bad. For this site, 2017 was one of those years. As some of you know, this site was down when we rang in the new year. The problems started with a malicious attack and continued through the transfer of all of my sites to a new host server. Finally, … [Read more...]
10 is a Win!
I would have thought you'd lost your mind if you had told me 10 years ago that I still would write on this blog every day. Yet, here I am celebrating the 10th year of Prof KRG. Yes, this site is celebrating its birthday. I launched it 10 years ago while attending the annual National College Media Convention in St. Louis. I arrived today … [Read more...]
Prof KRG Launches a New Look
Who knows how these things get started. One minute I was reviewing websites looking for ideas for redesigning the student media site I advise. The next minute I was redesigning this site. Fast forward more hours than I want to admit, and at least three online chats with my host server, and the site has a fresh, minimalist new look. I … [Read more...]
