I run a small business blog, http://www.entrepreneur-resources.net, where I share a variety of tips that can grow your business. Lately, I've been posting a lot of marketing tips to help out my fellow entrepreneurs. I may cross-post a few articles over here sometime.

@Erica - I do use a WordPress blog, but I haven't tried out the Thesis theme yet. A lot of people promote it, but I think some of them are just out for the affiliate sales. I'm thinking of trying out one of the Thesis child themes on a web design client. If we move forward with it, I'll let you know.

Yep. Thesis is one of the best-very robust straight out the box. But I really like Headway. Their visual editor is my best friend :)

I have 2 blogs related to my own enterprises/ business and it is a religious effort to keep them updated when distractions come up in life and business. One is specifically about my business journey as a Stream Cosmetics Distributor, Http://www.RunningandStreaming.com

My other blog, which was first, details the story of a Corporate Mom Gone Rogue To Work For Herself Http://www.WorkFromHomeForYourself.com The focus of this blog is being shifted to feature interesting business men and women I meet while I am networking who work from home for themselves. I plan to share their stories as well. Share the traffic :) I met so many great entrepreneurs at Spark and Hustle in ATL in July this year. There are a few I really want to feature as soon as Stream slows down... the problem is that Stream is not slowing down so I just need to get it done and written.

I currently use blogger and am planning my next blog to be Word Press based. The next Spark and Hustle is in April and will be in Chicago IL. I want to have the new blog up and ready for all the great interactions and experiences I want to share related to the conference.

Question: Is Wordpress "Thesis" worth the money or is there a free template that rocks just as much? Opinions welcome :)

Loving the responses and checking out all the blogs. Who's still out there looking for a little visibility for their blog?

Once I read this post I had to respond. I'm a black blogger who created a blog to discuss personal development that will forever change your life. I love talking and writing about everything especially how to be Fabulous & Money Savvy. My blog focuses on financial empowerment and self improvement.

It’s important to write from a professional point of view and give you solutions to address your problems. A blueprint to eradicate liabilities is great for many, but changing your behavior for improved results will get you closer to your goals.

I invite everyone to visit and subscribe to http://www.FabulousandMoneySavvy.com

Be Inspired!

Hey gang, Frank Coleman here.
I have a couple of blogs out here; one business blog with travel tips and a business opportunity in the travel industry. I converted it from a personal ministry blog so you'll see some ministry stuff in the archives:
