Two options that I've heard of for beginngers are www.blogger.com, which is hosted by Google, and www.wordpress.com, which I believe is actually hosted on your website. I started my first blog recently on blogger.com, and it was very simple to get up and running. There's tons of info on this site; happy reading! __________________ Tammi Metzler ~ The Write Associate Free call: "How to Write Email Subject Lines That Grab Attention!"

The first step is to decide which blog program you'd like to use - then work to get it either set up on your site (requires some knowledge of code) OR choose one (like Blogger or Wordpress) that can be hosted *for* you. After that it's really just a matter of providing fresh, regular content __________________ Create a welcome packet for new clients with this guide and free templates!

I would also recommend using www.merchantcircle.com - this site allows you to promote your business for free and set up a blog in one spot. Hope this helps get you started. Tammy

I will look into them later today and hope to be up and running in the next few weeks or so - when life isn't so crazy around my home / office.
