pink-sugar-boutique.blogspot.com

John C. Ackerman We added a blog to match his website design, allowing John to communicate even more with the Tazewell County people. johncackerman.blogspot.com

Because Lisa Murphy Web Design generally designs and develops websites for those who dont have time to take care of, update a website or wish to keep their main site as professional and clean as the day we developed it, I've found Googles blogger a great addition to websites. It gives the clients a "hands on" to a part of their site anytime they wish without the fear of cluttering their main site.

I initially started my google blog as an experiment to see how easy it would be for a non computer savvy person to use, beings some blogging software can be confusing. And to see how easy it was for a web designer to personalize and tweak for a client. It's not a new tool, blogger has been around for along time, but so far I give it a thumbs up for the most cost effective, easy to use, useful tool for anyone! Contact me anytime if you'd like a clean, proffesional blog to match your website.
