At our monthly PUG meeting, a regular blogger and down to earth guy named Steve, who works at Microsoft, came to tell us all there was about blogging.  Believe it or not, he gets 100,000 hits to his blog every week!  If you go to his site, www.furrygoat.com he mainly just talks about things that are current and things that interest him.  He’s been blogging for about 5 years.  Here are the points he brought up:

- Own a niche

- Participate in the conversation

- Market yourself

- Link

- Use killer titles

- Take risks

- Remember what you write is permanent record
