Small-Business Blogging By TD's Former Editor

July 11, 2007

Blogging has been a professional passion of mine for about five years now.

I've been a persistent advocate for embracing blogs as a journalistic tool within National Journal Group, probably to the point of being a nuisance to some folks, and I've written (or am still writing) blogs about Congress, adoption, Russia, obituaries, and even blogs about blogs. You can't get much more fanatical than that.

So I'm always glad to hear when someone I know decides to embrace the power of the blog -- especially someone in the media. That means I am thrilled to report that Sharon McLoone, who preceded me as the editor of Technology Daily, is now one of us.

As of yesterday, Sharon is the new small-business blogger for washingtonpost.com. "This feature will offer an inside look at small businesses and their challenges and opportunities," she wrote in the opening entry. "I will talk to experts who can help guide small businesses (from start-ups to well-established) navigate today's digital and physical marketplaces."

I'm sure all of you techies who still run small businesses, and those of you who have made it big after starting small, can offer Sharon's small-business readers plenty of valuable insights, so stop by the blog and say hello.
