If you already have a website, it`s as simple as adding a link to your "blog" (and visa versa).

You may want to have the blog match your site`s design / look and feel.

A "PR" as in press release? Yes, you can have a press release as a post on your bog.

To get a blog up and running, if you have an existing website, check to see that your web host supports a blog script (like wordpress). Install the script - usually in a sub directory like /blog or /news or something appropriate to your site and content.

Then just start posting. Of course, you may want to have the blog made to match your site`s graphics and design.

Hey Roland,

Thanks for the tip on blogging. I am interesting in knowing how does a blog push out information any different than a website (via spiders crawling web and putting stuff in their cache). Are you referring to RSS? I am considering blogging because I need the human involvement. THanks to all above for your contributions, I too a look at all your sites.

Hi,

A blog can actually notify (ping) various search engines informting them that your blog has been updated/changed. This happens automatically when you post new content on your blog.

There are a few ping services that you can use for this like: pingomatic.com
