rum, bloggery & the lash.

so to bounce off the "how to choose a builder?" thread: yes, almost all of my sales channel through my blog now. many customers say they watched progress on bikes on the blog & it cemented their decision to go with me, they could watch the work flow & details & get an idea of my timeline & what i do - make one bike then another & then another, and, a feel for who i am as well........ so, tips of the day: add "follow this blog" to your tool bar. "followers" will get automatic updates on your posts. maintaining a blog is work & advertising, get the most out of it! also "feedjit" is not only really cool in showing you where hits on your blog come from, but also how they got there & also leads people to your blog. just trying to help a bit.........thoughts?

Cool of you to share your insights, Steve. I don't blog and don't want to (right now at least), but I appreciate what you are saying none the less.
