More Blogging Tips from @STEPSistersBlog: WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

I don’t use either WordPress.com or WordPress.org. The conversation was more about whether to go with a hosted blog or to self-host.  What about how long a new blogger should stay on a hosted blog? The the “puppy brother” commercial steal from Bill Cosby? What makes a video go viral – monkeys, sloths, pranks, or puppies?

There’s a tiny bit of adult language here and there, but not much, still – grab your headphones just to be on the safe side.

Background: Each week, Tanisha (@girlmeetsglass), Shai (@hireshai), Rae (@fromraewithlove) and I have a Google hangout focused on blogging. As a group, we are called the STEPSisters (@stepsistersblog).  #AskABlogger is done, for now, and are now talking business blogging.  Shai is hosting July’s business blogging challenge on her website: http://fleurmanagement.com/hireshai/

To introduce #blog4biz, we dedicated our show this week to blogging for business owners.
