CAUTION – TODAY’S POST IS A BIT OF RANT.  So if you are looking for my typical gentle advice and prodding, this may seem a bit harsh.

As I talk to clients about adding a blog to their web site, I often get the same excuse: Not Enough Time!

Well, I am tired of hearing that lame excuse.  Blogging does not have to be time consuming!   A short blog post, with a link to something  of interest to your readers, takes just a few minutes to write.   Today’s link:  What’s Wrong with Short Blog Posts by Mike Sansone

Don’t have time to find information?   Do you have time to read a newspaper or trade journal?   Then you have time to find something worth sharing with your customers.  And if you don’t… how are you staying on top of your game, keeping informed and one step ahead of your competitors?

If you don’t have time to research – a little, and blog a little ( short posts evry few days) your small business, may have a much bigger problem.

    Lorraine,
    Thanks for the great inspiring article. I just posted a new (and relatively short) post to my blog after reading an interesting article. Most days I would have just kept going and never mentioned it.

    And Kyle’s tweet about commenting on the all blogs he reads today inspired me to comment on your post! Wow, everybody is just getting me talking!

    John,
    Thanks for the post on my site. Your comment lead me back to your site, and I tried to post a comment, but couldn’t. Really liked your piece on improving code. So look for a post with a link to it soon!
