International Higher Education Consulting website has new look
I have a healthy web presence within the international education community and the main website for my side consulting work International Higher Education Consulting can be found at davidcomp.wordpress.com/. My other main website, IHEC Blog (where this post originated from), could arguably be called my home base as it is much more popular and the content is more robust and frequent. I do have plans to rework and rethink my entire web presence and social media strategy but for now all is currently working very well for me and all roads lead to my International Higher Education Consulting website. For some time now I've been thinking and working to change the look and feel of the website and after numerous small adjustments I have what I think will be the final product (until I decide to change yet again). Below is a screen shot of the new site with one of my favorite posts. What do you think?

IHEC Blog is now on Pinterest
A couple of months ago I (meaning International Higher Education Consulting) jumped on the Pinterest bandwagon and you can find me/IHEC at http://pinterest.com/IHECBlog/. I must admit that my time on the site has been limited and I don't have much on the the IHEC Blog but I do hope to change that as it seems relatively easy to Pin things...stay tuned!

Five Years and Nine Hundred Posts on International Higher Education Consulting Blog
Five years ago today I started International Higher Education Consulting Blog (IHEC Blog). My first post "Initiatives in 2006 to Increase Student Diversity in Education Abroad" is available here and this past week I also posted my 900th post on IHEC Blog.
IHEC Blog pushed me to create related internet properties and I have enjoyed playing in these spaces as well. I've met many great people along the way. Some I have met in person and for some our paths have yet to cross!
IHEC Blog has gone farther than I ever imagined. Today, IHEC Blog is one of five blogs worldwide selected by the New York Times editors to feed in the 'Headlines Around the Web' area of the International Education section of the New York Times online.
I've been doing much thinking as of late about the future of IHEC Blog and whether I go away and dream it all up again or stay on the current path...more about all of this in a future IHEC Blog post I imagine.
For those of you who have come along for the ride I thank you!

"International Education News and Views" - A Twitter List of International Education Thought Leaders and Knowledge Producers
I came up with this select group of international education organizations, news outlets/reporters/editors and thought leaders as a way to highlight those who are advancing the knowledge production in the field. To be sure, there are some who I have missed and I will add them to the list as necessary. This is the only Twitter list I have and will probably ever create.
