But, if you start a Blog, make sure you have a purpose firmly in mind and have the time commitment to regularly contribute to it. There are too many Blogs that start with good intentions, only to become dormant. . .and eventually . . . abandoned.&quot;<br /> <br /> I also add we haven't had a Blog for those reasons. But as I am preparing for another Blog workshop, we're also now launching our own Blog. It's time. <br /> <br /> This Blog will focus on ways small businesses use the Internet. There will be a few technical entries for IT staff, but our major focus will be on current tips and we'll try to make sense of current statistics and trends as they relate to small businesses and the Web. <br /> <br /> The authors of &quot;Did You Know?&quot; include staff members of New Village Media. We hope you'll find we have something worthwhile to say.<br /> <br /> We invite you to add to the conversation and pose your own &quot;Did You Know?&quot; questions or respond to ours. Welcome aboard!<br /> <br /> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:27:52 -0400 http://www.newvillagemedia.com/blog/index.php?/archives/2-guid.html
