Blogs are continuing to explode in popularity. In a recent post, I explained why you need a blog, and how to set one up. If you aren’t familiar with blog software and what it is for, then you should read that post first. I also explained some of the pitfalls and potential misuses of your blog in another post. With this article, I want to give a bigger picture for folks that need a web site quickly, and who are considering blog software to run their ENTIRE web site.

The Importance of Good Logo Design

Logo design is the building block from which all other marketing
