			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Why Blog? &gt; How Blog? &gt; Get Going!</em></p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Why Blog?</span></h3>
<p>There have been numerous well written articles which are trying to pound this thought into your business head &#8211; get a blog.  So I&#8217;m not going to re-babble what has been said in great, glorious detail &#8211; go read it:   Here is the primer &#8211; the 2008 version of an article first written in 2005  <a target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/1JwiST" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/1JwiST</a> which has now grown into a blog:  <a target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/16l7FH" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/16l7FH</a></p>
<p>But let me get to the point of / summarize <strong>Why</strong> &#8211;    <span id="more-98"></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Relationship with your Clients/Readers &#8211; let them know what you are thinking, be accessible, add value to your web site with a human presence.</li>
<li>Search Engine Benefits &#8211; with each blog you add content.  And if you are blogging about website relevant topics, then you are adding search engine value to your site.</li>
</ol>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How Blog?</span></h3>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Keeping content fresh is one of the most important things you can do on your small business blog.  Consistently putting out quality posts accomplishes two important goals: it turns visitors into repeat visitors and it creates a community around your content.  Further, good content builds on itself over time and will slowly increase your blog&#8217;s traffic as it becomes more discoverable in search engines.  However, blogging regularly isn’t easy, and while it&#8217;s true that almost anything can be turned into a blog post, generating ideas for fresh, original, high quality content is difficult, especially for those new to blogging.&#8221; from  <a target="_blank" href="http://www.openforum.com/idea-hub/topics/technology/article/5-winning-post-ideas-for-your-small-business-blog-josh-catone">5 Winning Post Ideas for Your Small Business Blog</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Fight it all you want, but there is nothing more real that the maxim by inventor Thomas Edison, &#8221;Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.&#8221;</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Get Going!</span></h3>
<p><strong>Bad idea</strong>: You can get going with a free blog on a 3rd party site &#8230; it <em>may</em> help your business <em>some</em> by the fact that you (of course) reference your main web site.</p>
<p><strong>Good idea</strong>: the <strong>best way to take control</strong> of building content on your own web site with a blog is if <strong>Crestone Creations installs a blog on YOUR web site</strong>.<br />
You want the search engines to find the content on YOUR site so YOUR site gets search engine recognition, not a remote host site of the blog!</p>
<p>Install a blog on your web site today &#8211; Crestone Creations will do it for you and you can begin adding value to your web site right away (and go live when you are ready!)</p>
