Professional Blog, Personal Opinion

by · November 5, 2008

Blog PlanSo you (or your boss/client) want to start a blog. You can just whip something up at Blogger.com or WordPress.com and there you have it, right? Well, yes, but just going through the motions and having a place to jot your daily notions isn’t all there is to building a business blog. You wouldn’t just take out an ad before you had a message and some images to go in it would you? You wouldn’t book yourself to speak at a luncheon without having notes or a speech prepared.
