Okay, it's not just because I was interviewed for this Business Week article by Karen E. Klein on small businesses and blogging. After all, Susan Kitchens also gave some good advice. ;-)

Shameless plugs aside, I recommend you give part 1 (and tomorrow's part 2) a read if you have a small business and are trying to decide whether or not your small or solo business can benefit from blogging, what tools to use, and how to get started.
