As everyone on planet Earth already knows, Channing Smendziuk was crowned the 2010 Miss Teen Canada World at around 11pm on the evening of July 17th 2010 at a convention centre in downtown Toronto.

It was an amazing night and there are some terrific blog posts chronicling the evening here:

And on Saturday August 7th 2010 Channing Smendziuk took some time to learn the basics of her new digital duties as the Miss Teen Canada World blogger, and promoted as one of the feature attractions on the very popular Miss Teen Canada World website.

Rob Campbell of Smojoe social media marketing in Toronto toured her around the Distillery District (formerly the Gooderham and Worts distillery circa 1840) and snapped shots of her inside the historic buildings. Then they had a knowledge sharing strategy session; Smojoe schooled Channing on how to write good blog posts for the Miss Teen Canada World franchise from the persepctive of the girl wearing the crown. Nobody else on planet Earth has that perspective right now. And lots and lots of people would like to know what happens to this person when she wears that sash and crown and represents the best of Canada.

This picture is the best I snapped that Saturday. It was taken at about 2:30 pm just inside the front door of Balzacs coffee house.  Channing was getting a lot of attention in that setting because I requested that she wear her sash as we toured around the property and talked. Almost every family we encountered reached for their cameras and she was no doubt photographed a hundred times and will probably appear in a dozen family photo albums - this is a novelty for Channing right now but it is something she experience a lot...

Now read this early Channing Smendziuk OnSugar post where she got to drop the puck at a hocket game, and look at the photo and you can tell that she is concentrating entirely on not slipping and falling on the ice. Read the text and note the emotion here. The diction is geniune complete with hearts and smiley faces, not professional, but certainly passionate. The blog post is short beut deliveres a detailed play by play of the previous evening's experience. The diction is raw, the emotion is real. Channing Smendziuk scored 8.2 out of 10 points for her assignments. Channing's blog on the Miss Teen Canada World website is designed to better let her share her raw emotional experiences with readers. We want the same charisma but better formating and better storytelling, proper use of tags and keywords and alt text and 3rd party photo hosting.

So one of the reasons why she was selected by judges as the Miss Teen Canada World was her new skill at publishing her thoughts and ideas in a blog format, on a semi professional level. The three MTCW Blog Army challenges demand each contestant learn new skills as they attempt to make and publish their own media. They ask each girl 'can you promote yourself and your ideas online?'  And the judges were satisfied with Channing Smendziuk OnSugar Blog. However, Channing has a long way to go to live up to Siera Bearchell, who was an excellent Miss Teen Canada World blogger. Good luck Siera.

Preserving Siera's Legacy

Siera Bearchell 's content can be found here and in the coming months I will endeavour to set a keyword tagand make the archives index her content chronoligically so readers can follow along on her journey - make sense of the disjointed jumble that's there now

The website is being evolved - Smojoe social media marketing works with client like Miss Teen Canada because there is so much potential for world class story funnels in this setting

Before Siera Bearchel there was Katie Stark who competed for Miss Universe? what happened there? i need an update on that
