New Blog!

We have re-entered the wide-world of blogging.

Our previous blog at http://blog.firstscribe.com wasn't quite performing the way we would have liked so we shut it down and moved it over to http://www.firstscribe.com/wp-blog/ . This new home seems to be a more appropriate place and should perform.

Blogs are an interesting piece of this information age - A blog is a very simple tool yet it has vast power to build and disseminate information. Type, save and publish without any real knowledge of the Internet. It's great for those folks with something to say via a low-tech voice.

The Internet is supposedly the great flattening tool of the business world, presenting information without caste or borders, as it were. Now Blogs come along to flatten the world even more. Not only are they simple, free and pervasive, but they are a good idea. What could be better than that?

For one thing, it's easy to abuse.

Blogs have this mystery to them that enables a great deal of opportunity to apply "soft definitions" to their true nature. Blogs have become synonymous to the snake oils of old when it comes to Internet Marketing. Blogs are great for speaking your piece, they are not the answer to the eCommerce puzzle.

You're not alone if you've heard that a blog is the key to ranking #1 on keyword "X". Blogs will attract return visitors but they're not the only answer.

So, why do we have a blog?

Well, as it turns out we have a lot to say about the truth of web site design, hosting and Internet Marketing. As our business evolves; as we uncover tips; and as we find promising directories we will post them on our blog to inform our visitors.

Please visit often and leave us your comments!
