		<description>Yes, It&#039;s been a topic on my mind for quite a while and I hadn&#039;t seen anyone really write about it. I always think, &quot;if only I could do this...for them&quot; or &quot;if only they&#039;d do these few things&quot;.</description>

		<description>Beth, I live in a small town (3000) and this hit so close to home for many of the owners.  Small business doesn&#039;t think they need or can do a blog.  I beg to differ. In fact they are more of need of it than anyone.  I review local directory sites like MerchantCircle.com that offer a blog area with each listing - you don &#039;t even have to have a site.  They offer the entrepreneur and retail business owner the perfect place to offer gift suggestions, new products descriptions stories and musings.   
 
With so many places to get free blog platforms - wordpress, typepad, blogger - does any one really have an excuse not to write?  I put it this way, if I can write (I am an engineer who can talk a good line, but writing was an effort) then most anyone can.  All it takes is passion about what you do, a desire to share knowledge and help. As business owners, if that is not something we want to do, maybe we should rethink our occupations.
