CBS on how to build a blog
CBS> If you’re paying attention to the web or just modern culture, you’ve probably heard of “blogs,” short for web logs. A blog is basically just a web site that’s organized chronologically. It is often used as a way for its creator (“blogger”) to share his or her innermost thoughts, but a blog can be used for any type of information. read more>
Wow. That is How to Blog at it’s most basic.
I like the line: “Once you have a blog worth sharing, let your friends and family know.”
Mine still don’t know!
The big media giants have ignored blogs for so long that now they are forced to acknowledge them. Blogs have been in the mainstream for a long time. The article was somewhat condescending to bloggers in my opinion. Telling friends and family is such ridiculous promotional advice as to be laughable, if it weren’t a major media corporation saying it. Many bloggers are very sofisticated marketers and networkers. Some bloggers possess advanced search engine optimaztion (SEO) skills. The writer at CBS should know better.
