			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://rebeccarivera.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/3412959125_a890d5c352.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-342" title="Blogging image" src="http://rebeccarivera.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/3412959125_a890d5c352-250x300.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Most clients think blogging is beyond them. &#8220;I don&#8217;t have time. It&#8217;s too hard. I can&#8217;t write. I&#8217;m not creative.&#8221; So why are there hundreds of millions of blogs? Because anyone can do it. Anyone. To prove my point, here are just a few of my favorite blogs: a <a title="As The Butter Churns" href="http://www.asthebutterchurns.com" target=”_blank”>blog about giving up city life</a>, <a title="Sartorialist" href="http://www.thesartorialist.blogspot.com/">a fashion blog that&#8217;s 99% pictures</a>, a blog that alerts you to <a title="Crocodile Tears" href="http://crocodiletears-keyse.blogspot.com/">the best furniture finds on craigslist</a>, a <a title="Gastronomy" href="http://gastronomyblog.com/">food blog</a>, <a title="Shortest Blog In The World" href="http://theshortestblogintheworld.blogspot.com/">a short blog</a>, <a title="Tips for cat owners" href="http://tipsforcatowners.com/">a pet blog</a>, <a title="New Yorker, Steve Coll" href="http://ow.ly/SCcH">a political blog</a>, <a title="Lance Armstrong" href="http://www.livestrong.com">a charity blog</a>. <a title="Social Media Marketing" href="http://scottmonty.com">A social media blog</a>. And <a title="Blogging Tips" href="http://www.bloggingtips.com/">a blog about blogging</a>.</p>
<p>Still think you can&#8217;t blog? I&#8217;m writing a white paper on blogging for <a title="DIG" href="http://digitalinfluencegroup.com/">Digital Influence Group</a> that will lay out everything you need to know. Don&#8217;t want to wait? Then think of some blog post topics and get writing, following these three simple rules: be interesting, be brief and be consistent. Blog on.</p>
