What is a blog?
A blog is an area of your website to keep news, updates, and sharing your expertise in your field of business, displayed as individual posts. The blog posts appear in date order with your most recent post displayed first. A blog is a great way to engage with your customers with weekly news or information that you would like to publish on your website.
Before you begin your blog, it would be a good idea to do some research around blogging for business, why you should bother with it, how to do it well, and then how to promote these great blogs you’ve written. Here are some blogs we have written about the topic of blogging.
