Comments on: Start Blogging Now! http://www.website-development-training.com/start-blogging/ Techniques, Articles, Tips, and Tutorials for Website Development Wed, 04 Feb 2009 00:38:35 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jennifer DeRosa http://www.website-development-training.com/start-blogging/comment-page-1/#comment-5075 Jennifer DeRosa Fri, 03 Aug 2007 20:49:05 +0000 http://www.website-development-training.com/start-blogging/#comment-5075 Cricket, Thanks to your encouragement I started a business blog last February & have managed to post once a week. I have a long way to go though. I'm using Blogger but I plan to move to Wordpress (printed some install information earlier this week). I haven't had any comments yet although people have viewed my profile & only one viewer has gone to my web using the link on my blog but the habitual THINKING of potential content for my web has been great. Initially I was concerned about whether I'd have the time but when I think of a potential topic I just jot it down on a piece of paper & save it for when I have time. I use "odd" moments during my week to write ruff blog articles such as when I'm waiting in the deli line at the grocery store or when I'm a passenger in a car. This method has worked for me. I'm approximately two months ahead of schedule. I plan to move at least some of my archieved blog articles to my web when time permits. As I mentioned earlier this week, one of the concerns I have with my web sales is how to increase more profitable sales. I believe that adding quality content will help increase my online credibility & thus improve profitibility. Another area I definitely need to work on is adding links from my blog to individual web pages. So far I've only added a couple of links but thanks to all the class discussion about linking I'm starting to "think" more along those lines & I think including links in my blog articles will come more naturally. Also, thanks for your reminder to add comments to similar blog articles. I haven't found too many blogs on the same topic as my blog (custom embroidered apparel) but I just realized while writing this sentence that I could also reply to related topic blogs such as promotional products & screen printing blogs. Once again, thanks for encouraging me "think" about what I need to do! Thanks again! Cricket,

Camera, the focus of the blog. Action, just do it! I actually started one but did not stick with it. Now, I'm making it a part of my weekly business schedule. Thanks for the nudge, Cricket!

I just simply do not have the time nor the skills to blog, but I know that it is the going thing right now. Marie Cricket,

Do you know of anywhere that you can hire someone to write a blog for you? I just simply do not have the time nor the skills to blog, but I know that it is the going thing right now.
