Blogging is the new writing medium for the masses. Some people lament the fact that anyone can go about publishing content for the world to see, but those people are probably the great-great-grandchildren of the guys who threw rocks at Gutenberg.

We talk a lot about the importance of a blog. As Google’s updates progress, the old adage “content is king” is becoming ever more true.
