Blogs

“Keep a diary, and someday it'll keep you.” -- Mae West (American Actress and sex symbol, 1892-1980)

A blog is a kind of diary … it is less formal than a full blown Web site. But it still can provide a platform to display your expertise in a particular area of technology.

Why do you care? Because someday, somehow, it will enhance your reputation among your colleagues as the go-to guy in your specialty.

How do you do it? Start out by examining existing blogs. Bookmark those that appeal to your personality. Study them. Pick and choose particular pieces of each blog design that reflect what you hope to convey to your readers. Combine the elements into a design that reflects your unique personality.

Here are a few examples. You will find more as you explore.
