(businessandblogging.com) The Internet is filled with advice on what to do and what not to do with your blog. Some of that advice applies specifically to personal blogs, or to hobby blogs, but much of it applies to business blogs as well.
Tomorrow Liz will be listing some of the attributes of good business blogs. Today, […]
I’m sure I’m not the only blogger in the world who is pleased today to hear about the writeup of Read/WriteWeb’s Richard McManus, in New Zealand’s Dominion Post.
Under the heading Hobby leads to career for tech blogger, journalist Reuben Schwarz writes of how, from Richard’s home office in Lower Hutt (pop. 97,700), New Zealand, Richard […]
There are times when spelling errors can be good for business.
For instance, my mother once told me a story about her father, Thomas Murphy, who was the local school teacher in the small country town of Tumbarumba.

That’s not about conversation for conversation’s […]
Brian Clark, author of Copyblogger.com, which like this blog is part of the b5media network, describes himself as a recovering attorney. Which figures - he has a lawyer’s love of language.

It seems to me that in business, as in life generally, when we raise a subject there is often an expectation that we have a complete statement in mind, or our own answer to a problem we raise. And if that’s so, it probably inhibits a lot of thoughtful people from airing their surmises and their questions. Which for […]
Happily, Darren Rowse is here at ad:tech Sydney and blogging it. See his report of Day 1, including some comments on the panel session on blogging, in which I participated.
