Copyright 2005 Mal Keenan

Putting up your business blog is an advantageous way of
establishing your presence on web. Its no longer just
about putting plain texts up on your blog. With continuing
stream of new software, publishing tools and plug-ins,
todays blogger have the means to create interesting and
fun blogs. Here are some of them.

1.Put photos on your blog. You can try this free software
called "Hello", found at http://hello.com.

2.Add audio clips. Try http://www.AudioBlogger.com and
follow instructions.

3.Put streaming video clips on your blog. One of the
emerging service providers of video clips is the
http://instantvideogenerator.com.

4.Syndicate your contents. You can use the more popular RSS
format. You can do this by checking the web for companies
that offer this service.

5.Provide space for your readers to give you feedback by
checking your blog setting and modify this to allow posts.
Of course, leave a reminder, that they are free to post
contrary comments as long as they do it in a polite and
considerate manner.

6.What do the majority of your readers think of your blog?
Do you want to know and tally this up? And show off the
results on your blog? Run polls. Some examples of free
poll service are the web poll central and free polls.

7.If you use you use WordPress, a server-installed,
open-source (free) state-of-the-art semantic personal
publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web
standards, and usability, try their email notification
plug-in. This plug-in notifies your subscribers of your
blog posts through email.

8.Trackback is a great blog feature, for it allows for a
continuing conversation between you and bloggers of
similarly themed blogs. When you comment on another blog
posting in your blog instead of in that blog's comments
page, the trackback link connects these posts so the
thread isnt lost.

All of these software or plug-ins will help you illustrate
your point in a fun and interesting way. But you should
remember content is king on the net. These devices are not
substitutes for great content, which is what really what
drives traffic to your blog.
