Pheedo and I are starting a joint project called “How to Blog.” Pheedo’s Bill Flitter and I will be posting to our blogs information designed help business build successful weblogs. Information posted by Bill to the Pheedo blog will appear in my How To Blog category through the magic of Trackback. Likewise, anything I post will show up at Pheedo as well.

We’ll have examples of business blogs, links to articles about blogging basics, marketing tips, and more. If you have a question that you’d like to have answered, let me know and we’ll try and cover it.
