I am a blog junkie. I have several blogs that are under my personal name but none yet for my business. I was curious to know if you have a blog exclusively for business and which blog service do you prefer? I am using blogger and livejournal for personal. What do you recommend? Is it possible to set up a "business" blog. What do you use for contact/sign up info.

I have a business blog under Sageva, I also have a personal one. Both are on blogspot. I know I can do one on my website rather than having a link but I havent gotten that far yet.. I know alot of people here use wordpress.

I'm a blogging junkie, too. I have three personal blogs and my business site is set up as a blog as well. I think blogging is a great way for businesses to connect with potential customers. And I <3 WordPress. Best blogging software out there, IMO.

I only blog as a company right now.

I do blog on my personal stuff, lols. I have been blogging for years now and I just want to have a feel on how to blog, and how to do things right also when it comes to blogging. If I feel that I am already equipped and an expert on it, having a business blog for me will do.

I don't blog personally, but I plan to blog when I eventually get my business up and running. I think using wordpress is the way to go.

I only blog for my business. I use Wordpress. I also have used ezine articles.
Wordpress or something similar seems to be the most popular.

I need to learn the ins and outs of blogging and finally started a personal blog on Blogger (Stephanie's Journal) to help me. Hopefully, I'll be an old pro at it by the time I start one up for my business. I figured having a personal one would be a good way to get into the habit of keeping it up while learning how to customize my blog and generate ideas to keep it going. A lot of what I'll be writing about are my thoughts along my journey to starting my own business so I may link back to it later when I get my business site going. I'm a bit shy about sharing it right now (plus I only have one post so far...lol) but I may have you guys check it out once it gets going.

I also think that I may do my website/business blog on Wordpress (going by everyone's reviews. thank you). I created an account last night but I think it's going to take me a while to learn that one. I can already see that you can do a lot more with it and that it's much more customizable than Blogger seems to be, at least at first glance.

I am currently looking at starting a blog too and leaning towards using my business name and Wordpress. I opened an account and checked out all the templates but then heard great things about buying the Thesis theme.

I have a blog in my business name. I use Godaddy's Blogspot. It works well for me. I use the paid version but I know Wordpress is excellent for creating blogs.
