Blogging About Blogging....A Look Into My First Blog

I find it interesting that I begin my blogging career with a blog focused on the topic of blogging. Say that three times fast! Justin Kenagy said it best when he states

I associated [blogs] with pretentiousness and blowhards<a href="http://money.usnews.com/money/business-economy/small-business/articles/2008/09/26/how-to-blog-your-way-to-small-business-success">

But lets face facts, the internet in all its glory with Facebook, Twitter etc. provides the masses with a voice. Right, wrong or indifferent.  However this new found voice or web presence can have a positive impact on your presence as a small business for instance.  Blogging allows small business to gain internest presence and drive attention back to their web page.

The process of blogging can be overwhelming for those that have not had exposure or have limited experience with the internet as it relates to social networking etc.  Several articles are available which highlight some important tips or tricks to keeping it simple.  I like to refer to them as "Blogging for Dummies" resources, I wonder if that book exists?  I certainly could use a copy!

The most obvious to me was the point made by Matthew Bandyk http://money.usnews.com/money/business-economy/small-business/articles/2008/09/26/how-to-blog-your-way-to-small-business-success?page=2.

The highlighted tips are easy to remember:

1. Don't stress about it - keep it simple, short and sweet is best.
2. Blog often - use it or lose it!.
3. Be a blog expert.  Don't just write but be a reader and a follower.

 My advice.  Jump in feet first and do it, perfection will come with time.  At least I hope.
