Blogging is one of the most amazing trends to come out of this whole Internet thing - it allows man on the street to voice his opinion on everything from what kind of mustard he likes with his turkey to the latest breaking news the networks just can’t touch. There are millions of blogs out there, and the number just keeps growing - so how do you set yourself apart from the pack?
Well I won’t lie to you, first thing’s first: good great content. Work on your writing skills, find something that other people will find interesting, polish up your videos, shine your shoes and get a decent haircut! Or skip the shoes and haircut and just focus on providing consistent, quality content. That’s the beginning.
But these days, thousands of people are pumping out great content - some have a team of paid writers, some just have writers with nothing else to do all day but peruse the Web and find out what people love to do the most, the point is, good content is the beginning, but it’s not enough.
That’s where I come in - I put the peanut butter icing on your delicious chocolate cake of a blog. Sure, Blogger, Typepad, WordPress and their pals all come with plenty of default and free templates, but as they’re free, they’re often very generic, and almost always widely used. Add to that your need to tweak them and you can either end up with the Frankenstein Blog or find out you’re way in over your head and possibly give up out of frustration.
I can create a clean, beautiful and - most importantly - highly usable and search engine friendly design for your blog that people will notice. We can work together to customize it to precisely fit your personality or the focus of your topic.
Have a look at some of these example blogs I’ve set up and do feel completely free to contact me if you want to talk business!

The Bike Pittsburgh Blog
I created the blog (as well as a forum and, well, the entire site) for this Pittsburgh bicycle safety advocacy group. Have a look at the blog and feel free to dig around in forums - they have loads of great information here.
The Lippis Report
I developed and manage this news blog for Lippis Enterprises, which provides IT / network industry whitepapers, podcasts and more to their users. Some of the extras: the site has the ability to track what users are downloading and send them enewsletters, all through the backend.
