Thanks Tom! It is great to see this in action. Looks like the blog was buzzing. Did the company move to a different model of web communication rather than a website/blog combo?<br />

Your idea is valid. One of my clients, a successful Public Relations firm scrapped their website and now have a blog site only. I'm seeing a lot of marketing companies do the same.

Well, personally I find BLOGS a little intimidating. I also think that they lack the overall static info option on a website. Searchability may also be affected in a negative way. I do know that you can imbed a blog on your site and that to me seems the best option.
