Now's the Perfect Time to Start Your Own Design Blog

This blog post is all about blog posts ... as in you should be writing your own! And to make it even easier to blog, we've got a special gift for you.

But first, here's why you should have a blog:

• It’s the simplest way to create searchable, shareable content that will help you get noticed
• It’s a great way to showcase your work
• It’s a marketing tool that allows you to be personable and show people who you are
• It’s a way to connect with past, present, and future clients online
• It’s a great way to connect your various social media profiles with your business

A blog will do more for your online presence. In today’s world, designers - and we're talking interior design, feng shui, jewelry, and wedding and event planning and design - are under more pressure to market themselves and stand out from the crowd. But at the same time, there are more opportunities out there that allow you to do just that. Blogging is one of those opportunities.

I agree that all businesses should have a blog, wordpress has brought 'functionality' that was once only available to 'experts' available to the novice...now for less than $125 per year you can get a URL , one click blog install, and a years worth of unlimited hosting.

Squarespace IS the mac like company of web design. A few sliders, move this about, bam, you're done. It works very apple like, and much like them, you pay for it. Pay for a year upfront and you'll get a cheaper deal. V6 coming this year which will be a major upgrade to the already amazing system they do have.

Blogging is a great way to share our experience, feeling, and knowledge to the world. And for business-minded people they found blogging a great way to promote their products and services.

I am a big fan of blogs because it give a chance to everybody who have something to say to voice their opinion. My favorite is WordPress because this product have unlimited potential. You can do everything you want all you need to know is CSS, PHP and HTML, the beauty of this product is around the fact it has been developed by a community that is continuing the development of this product. You do not have many platforms that are free with many tools that can help you express your artistic skills. You can use it as blog or just a normal website the choice is yours. I really hope SquareSpace allow you to use Wordpress CMS package.
