Blog consultant Josh Hallett has some good tips for businesses interested in starting a blog. He points out that like any business endeavor, knowing the background and current environment is important for success. Unfortunately, many businesses think that because something is on the Internet that it is easy and jump right in.

Taking a bit of time up front can prevent embarrassing mistakes and help ensure success. This is especially important for business blogs since they are a more relaxed--and personal--communication medium than most businesses are used to.

UPDATED 3/28/06 with final theme info.

If you have a Blogzerk blog, check out the new themes we've added:

• Blogzerk - Blue Two Point Oh
• Blogzerk - Lime Two Point Oh
• Blogzerk - Rust Two Point Oh
• Blogzerk - Green Two Point Oh
• Blogzerk - Pink Two Point Oh

These use an image header which is 950 px wide. This seems to work well for three column blogs and still looks good for two columns also. If you have visitors using less than a 1024x768 screen resolution, you should stick with the standard Blogware templates which are fluid.

These have been added to our theme page and we've created a new category for the Theme Gallery so you can see them in action.
