I'm trying this blog thing like so many of you. I'm using the Nextcat interface for as it seems pretty simple, But I'm in the beginning stages of a complete website redo and I could add blogging capability to the list.

While nextcat is pefectly fine and your blog content is great, my question is why should you give nextcat's site the hits that you should be giving to your own web site, from which you directly profit?

The other side of blogs is that in many ways you can make it your primary web site. Yup. Demos can go on there, bios, credits, contact info...the whole deal. You may need to get a designer who can help you with some technical stuff done but you can do it. Great keyword search too.

You can certainly make it a regular wordpress blog and tie it into your web site and still add great value.

Bob Souer may have some thoughts on this too

Hope this helps.

Connie,

There's no question that adding blogging to your arsenal can be a great move, for building traffic and staying current. You have so much of value to say that I would expect you to have something very much worth reading all the time. That of course, is the key. You do have to be willing to write something with enough frequency that people will come back to visit again and again.

Feel free to write to call if there's anything with which I can help you.

The real problem with Nextcat, and this is a dealbreaker for me, is there's no RSS feed associated with your blog. At least not one that I can find.
