This post is a personal story of a friends small, family-owned business seeing impressively quick benefits from their new blog site.
Last year I re-connected with a best friend from high school. She runs the family business now – Broken Arrow Lodge & Marina – on the Fishingest Side of Lake Livingston, Texas. I have fond memories of summer-time there.
The business did have a single static web page hosted under a local attraction directory website, and a yahoo email address, and that was about it. For New Years this year I decided to secure a domain and set up a small blog for my friends family-owned business.
Since I’m more familiar with Wordpress, that’s what I used for this small business blog. I found a Wordpress theme, modified it to suit, and installed some favorite software, plug-ins and widgets. I added the text and image content from the old single web page, did a little SEO to boost search traffic, and on January 1, 2010 I launched the Broken Arrow Lodge and Marina blog.

Time-Travel can be Hazardous to your Readers
Words are a fantastic time-machine. Words can move readers both forward and backwards in time with ease and simplicity.
But time-traveling writers must beware! Sometimes, writers get confused and lose the focus of their words. This can leave their readers dazed and confused, and lost in a time-warp.
For example, I recently read this little local news article (not an AP story) and it made my head hurt:
North Texas town pumps hot water from the ground
LADONIA: About 80 miles northeast of Dallas, at Hwy. 50 south and Main Street, a small town braces for another chilly night. But in Ladonia, the water from its well – nearly 3,500 feet deep – is still piping hot.
The proof is in the bucket with the water registering 97 degrees on a thermometer. Even the pipes are warm to the touch.
