Coffee, anyone?
Thinking about starting a winery blog? Check out this coffee blog from Aldo Coffee Company. Even though coffee is a stimulant, and alcohol a depressant, blogging is still about an authentic voice that involves people in your product or service.
Thanks to Hugh McLeod at GapingVoid.com for the pointer.
Thanks for noticing... we've been devoted Hugh/Gaping Void followers for several years now. I've had several blogs and had been at it since '02, so when time came for us to start our own biz, using TypePad just seemed to make so much more sense than doing a traditional website.
Took a look at your list for aspiring winebloggers - dead on. We pretty much did all that, except with more frequent posts (daily, often 2-3x/day if there's worthy content).
You're right in that having fun AND BELIEVING in your story is paramount. And networking of course.
We're part of the Stormhoek thing as well - looking forward to being the first tasters in Pittsburgh.
Thanks again for the mention - coffee is the new wine.
