Your Blog

To blog or not to blog?

That is no longer a question. We have entered an era when creative professionals live or die, thrive or get by, according to their online presence.

Bloggers today enjoy a status equal to media commentators, slogan-makers and publishers. The best bloggers have a hotline to the zeitgeist. They set the agenda: they break news stories, fuel debates, start fashions, share insights, offer opinions, pose questions, challenge perceptions and entertain with wit and whimsy. They are quoted, hired, noted and available for further comment in print, web, television and radio. Their ideas snowball with those of other bloggers and become sharpened by ongoing blog debates.

The joys of blogging as a member of Toadsquare are many and various. We all understand that blogging is great way to present yourself. Your blog is a channel to foster ideas, link specialist interests, find kindred spirits. It is a free flow of ideas - big or small - around the world. A blog generates genuine and often immediate feedback.

A feature unique to Toadsquare is that, instead of leaving a comment, you can Respond to a post and start a debate.

Your Toadsquare Blog is part of your Showcase.
