I’ve been debating that question for weeks. And as each day has passed, I’ve likely added to the demise of my own candidate website, i.e., the longer it exists without being updated/changed – the more likely it’s viewed as ineffective.
While I’m fairly disciplined at updating Views of the Linn County Auditor, Facebook, and Twitter (my newest communications tool), I’ve neglected this web site. A couple of questions have entered my mind: What should I post on my Re-Elect Joel Miller for Auditor web site? And does it really matter?
I do have one advantage that most candidates on the ballot in November do not have. I do not have an opponent – which means I can be direct / forthright in my commentary – not that I wasn’t or wouldn’t be direct and forthright.
What am I going to do? I’m going to use this website when I’m advocating for a candidate or position or cause. I’ll continue to use Views of the Linn County Auditor to report facts / substance, provide information, and raise questions. I’ll use Twitter to provide short bursts of interesting data and updates on my daily activities. And I’ll use Facebook to provide updates on my not-so-private life and to connect / re-connect with people.
As always, you’re welcome to provide me with feedback using your preferred method of communication.
