Blogging

A blog is an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a webpage.

Typically updated daily or weekly, blogs often reflect the personality of the author.

Blogging does not necessarily mean that you are becoming a blogger.
Bloggers are professionals whose career is dedicated to blogging.
For most small businesses, blogging can be the voice of your business.
Blogging should be about a learning center, helping, listening, teaching, and communicating.
