A blog is just a mechanism for people to post thoughts on the internet in a manner that is visible to readers, with or without the ability to respond.

Kyle,
Several respondents indicated they have multiple blogs. Arguably, I do too (if I count SI). Do you have any thoughts about the relationship (if any) between business and personal blogs? Does one inadvertently influence the other?
Cheers,
j

It is all dependent on how much emphasis you put in your personal brand when it comes to the business.

I have my blog url as kylelacy.com because I am branding MYSELF and my BUSINESS here in Indianapolis. It is the whole trusted advisor concept.

It is important to add some personality and authenticity to your blog posts. Although, there is a fine line to draw between personal and business.

BLOG: (n) 1) a Babbling LOG, often interactive, of personal opinion which is published online at semi-regular intervals as regards to specific incidents or events related to the author’s targeted subject(s) of interest. 2) an online rant!

Beyond the technical definition, I think a blog has to be defined by its purpose. One definition doesn't fit all blogs, even when you begin categorizing them as "personal" and "business."

My main reason for blogging is to build credibility as a writer among potential clients. However, I also do it because I enjoy writing and can't get enough. I share my opinions about topics in a manner that relates to my business. I also get quite a kick out of visitors and comments. So while mine is a business blog, I get a great deal of personal satisfaction from it.

Good thoughts Cindy! I think we all get personal satisfaction from blogging. Sometimes blogging can be an extremely egocentric process. :)
