         Step 4: Write Post(s)
When finished, click on "Publish Post"


“Blogs tend to be a single page that is read and updated” frequently.  It is important that the blog must be “readable and the links are clearly indicated.”(3)  The more simple the format and readability, the more successful the blog.  Readers want to be able to read just one page and then decide if the blog will be read frequently or if they would like to read all of the posts. 

Blogs are always up to date. “The newness of blogs is a challenge to tradition.”  Blog posts are “organized in reverse chronological order to be successful with readers, need-up-to-the minute, right now freshness.”(4)  Blogs are easy to read as well as easy for readers to find (google).

Business blogs can be a highly effective communication tool.  As shown, blogs are easy to create.  Blogs are housed on the internet, which is the new “public square.” (2)
