One of the key distinctions about blogging that I endeavour to communicate to business people is to see their blog not just as a kind of new style website, but as a way for them to join in new conversations, especially but not exclusively with customers and potential customers. That’s not about conversation for conversation’s […]
Just over a week ago I wrote about luck. That was part of a ‘theme day’ with my colleagues on the b5media Business channel. I had every intention of making reference on the day to the other posts on the subject. That was about when “one of those weeks” started where with the best of intentions […]
This post illustrates, from my own very current experience, the challenge I see for non-technical people, like me, in using one of the main blogging platforms, WordPress from WordPress.org. And that probably applies also to any open source blogging platform which does not have paid hosting and support.
Over the past week I’ve spent more time […]
I’m only too happy to be joining my colleagues on the b5media business channel in some synchronized posting on the theme of luck.
Being so close to St Patrick’s Day, it’s a short mental jump to the expression “luck of the Irish”.

In this fifth part of the Blogging Platforms series we look at the different needs of different types of users, the potential bloggers, and some of the considerations to be taken into account by and for the different types.
Because identifying the type of user is a key element in choosing the right platform.
And it is […]
For the purposes of this series on Business Blogging Platforms, and to keep it manageable and as practical as possible, I am not going to attempt a critique of all the platforms I’ve been able to think of or come across so far. Instead, I want to concentrate on some platforms which I feel I […]
This third post in the Blogging Platform series provides some information and comments on four blogging platforms which seem to me to be well-suited for the small business owner wanting to get into blogging quickly, efficiently and economically, while at the same time offering plenty of reliable scope for growth, or to use the jargon term, […]
Are you thinking a blog could be good for your business?
Are you perhaps in a line of business where not having a blog makes you the odd one out and you’re not sure what to do about it?
Would you like to start but your legal person says to be careful and you have so many […]
