Reformed Cynic

Wheels are turning..

..but are they spinning? I'm just trying to settle down and decide where to go next, what to tackle first. The time to make changes is fast approaching, and I have to leave some things in the past forever, embrace some new situations, and figure out what to do with the rest. Maybe tidying my immediate environment will give me some mental clarity, too.

Business Blogs vs Websites

Been a long break away from updating.. I've done lots of blog reading, however, in the interim. I feel as if I enjoyed my departure from my own interests for a while, reading about others' goals and the steps they take towards them.

In my net travels, I've seen many a business that has a blog in addition to a website, and I am beginning to wonder what approach would work best for me. As a firm believer in concise web page copy (not blog postings, mind you!), and also someone who thinks a possibility to death before getting started, a blog might be the thing. I could use the "about" page to describe my services and fees, and bookmark relevant posts in a sidebar. Interesting info/commentary could be offered as the attraction.

Doing both is an option, but I've spent so much time designing sites in my mind, then blowing them away. A blog seems like an interesting compromise, and my domain registrar offers free blogs if one purchases a new domain. I could also grant others posting access to the blog, as need arose.

It's also a quick solution - I could set up the blog in an afternoon - but I wonder if it would make me seem less professional. Then again, I do need to get the ball rolling.. I'll sleep on it.
