DenverSpark.com welcomes Darla Michelsen, our newest featured blogger. We invite you to browse Darla’s profile to learn more about her and “Scooter Girl Media”, our featured blog of the week.
Name: Darla Michelsen
Company: Scooter Girl Media
Blog URL: www.scootergirlinthecityblog.com
Where you live: I live in Denver, CO.
How long have you been blogging? I have been blogging for over 5 years.
What blogging platform do you use? I use Typepad and love it! I also use WordPress for other blogging but Typepad is my all time favorite, the typepad community is great and super supportive and I’ve learned so much from the techies and they are “johnny on the spot” when it comes to response time.
Do you blog for business? for pleasure? I blog for both business and pleasure! My scooter girl in the city blog started about 5 years ago as a personal blog after getting my first scooter, now it has grown and I do promote small local businesses on the blog. Part of the scooter girl blog is just sharing all the great Denver spots to eat and play!! I blog for business with my company Scooter Girl Media where I create business blogs for all types of business from real estate to tattoo shops to Insurance, and I also do social media management with social networks like Facebook and twitter and my new favorite Pinterest.
How does your blog help the local blogging community? How does my blog promote the blogging community! Well I feel like my blog reaches out in many ways to fellow bloggers as a reader and also in promotion of other blogs, I’m big on letting people know if there is a new blog or content that would appeal to them. I also like sharing others posts and links. My readers are always wanting to know who I follow or what blogs I read and so I’m going to add a blog roll very soon. I think most bloggers follow others who blog and also share what they love about the content with readers and friends. As far as the general community… part of the reason I started my blog was to highlight new small businesses and bring them attention and help them start a following or community of their own.
What are your hobbies and interests? My hobbies? Need you ask? SCOOTERS SCOOTERS and more SCOOTERS!!! I also host scooter events and rides and will be putting on my first Scooter Girl rally in August 2012. I had my first 9 news story last year on one of my all girl shopping and scooting rides. I also love the city and going out to new places so I can write about them… and I love being with my two Chinese Crested dogs Jackson and ChaCha Brown.
What do you do when you are not writing online? What do I do when I’m not writing? I like to be with my friends and I also love Real Estate.

My blog is for both business and pleasure.

The blog is part of our overall online marketing strategy, aimed at providing quality content that will consistently inform our current clients, attract new ones, and provide interior design tips, tricks, and trends to Denver men and women. We have found blogging to be an effective and fun business tool, and a great way to contribute to the local Denver community.

Our blog provides interior design tips that are specifically focused toward local Denver residents and businesses. In addition to sharing our strategies for Denver interior design, we like to feature local business and events and to connect our clients with other wonderful local vendors.
What are your hobbies and interests?
My hobbies include reading, catching up on much needed sleep after a busy work day/week/month, and researching business opportunities.
What do you do when you are not writing online?
When I am not blogging, I continue with other avenues of marketing and work on growing businesses – I always have work on the brain!
