What I've been doing for the last day

I launched the Appleseed Blog. Yes, another blog from me. But really, running a technology business's website without a blog attached is a poor idea these days.

It look so long because getting Mason and Movable Type to play together was a little rough, but (with daerr's assistance) I got it going, and ended up learning a lot about all technologies

What do you see as the win for a blog on a tech business's website? Does it help attract new business, or does it primarily help people who've come to your site for other reasons get more insight into and therefore comfort with the business?

I've thought of doing something bloggy on my company website for a while now, but almost all of my business comes from my network. Although I guess that could be cause and effect at work! I'm trying to extend my reach out of the local market at the moment, and have some time on my hands due to a client getting cut loose by their bank, so maybe I'll give it a go.

There's a few good things a blog can bring to a small business site, in theory

Ok, you've convinced me. I'll give it a whirl. Thanks!
