Why Blog?

For best results, make sure you have a professional appearance for your blog. Have a consistent brand, tone and message. Update your blog with fresh content at least weekly. Get the word out that you've posted by using your status updates on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Perhaps embed a related video. Read other peoples' blogs and post comments on them with links back to your blog.
