Women Bloggers to Watch in 2008
Posted by
I had the distinct pleasure of being named one of the Women Bloggers to Watch in 2008. It’s always nice to be recognized by your peers. I’ve been touting blogging since February of 2005, when I started my first blog over at Blogger. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen eyes glaze over and roll to the back of heads. What is blogging? Only kids blog, right? Finally, blogging arrives as a business tool.
Let me share with you why blogging is so beneficial to a business. Let’s say I visited your site a month ago, I saw what I saw and I read what I read. If I visit your site today, will I see what I saw and read what I read? Will anything be different? If not, why should I come back to your site?
The two most popular free blogging platforms are Blogger and WordPress. You can start there. Here’s a document that shares the differences between these two popular free platforms. Here at Magic In Blogging you’ll find how-to videos for common tasks . As I work on adding videos, please let me know if there’s a specific task at Blogger or WordPress.com that you need a "how-to" for.
Now, if what you want is a totally robust blog like North San Diego Business, or Magic In Blogging, you can have blog software installed and programmed for your site. I used WordPress because of it’s extendability, flexibility and the vast number of plugins available. It’s also very user friendly.
Blogging is here. It’s an essential asset to any business web presence. Think about embracing it!
Here is the actual post:
Women are blogging in record numbers these days – so may blogs, so much content and so little time to check them all out. Each month during 2008, I will be highlighting dozens of blogs written by women, on a variety of topics, genres and locations around the globe. These women share one thing in common. They have a goal, a theme and a purpose in their lives. Please do stop by their blogs, check them out, leave a comment and see how many great relationships you can develop online in the next 12 months.

Well Miss Debra,
What a beautiful face lift, maybe the whole thing is new..love that pink and aqua. I’m just going through my digital recording to see if I want to delete anything and I stumbled on the recording of your webinar on e-books.
What a great gift this Friday evening!!!
I should thank the Blog Squad gals for making it possible to meet such a wonderful woman who has just the internet marketing talents and skills that thrill me.
Hi Myrna, yes it’s a new site. If I knew then, what I know now, I would have hosted Magic In Blogging a long time ago. The pink you’re seeing is http://www.Twitter.com. Check it out!
Thanks again for relisting this posting from Virtual Woman’s Day. I was equally elated to receive the nomination for hard work in blogging. It was a bit ironic actually because I’ve been on a blogging hiatus for the past 9 days given how swamped I am offline.
I agree with you that it is important to keep my blog/website current. And, it really irked me that I didn’t have the time to update it. I want people to see new and interested content there — unlike many websites that are static for weeks, months, or — longer!
I’ll have to return to check out more of your blog.
Hi Debra,
I am going to have to completely agree with you about the magic of blogging. I had no understanding of using a blog for business, nor did I really know what blogs were about. I started this whole process 5 months ago and I also had the pleasure of making it on this list!
Congratulations to you Debra.
Sincerely,
Laura Licata
Wow amazing list there, congrats to you. I wish you continue your blogging journey in the same way.
