Over at Problogger, Suzanne Falter-Barns asks “Have Blogs Killed Conventional Websites?”
Meanwhile, Jason Preston of Blog Business Summit explains why every business should have a blog. Jason says, “If you wrote a blog about the ins and outs of trucking, and people who were interested in trucks (or being a truck driver) could find the answers to their questions and get a sense of your (undoubtedly good) personality, what company do you think they’ll look to first when they need to get hired?”
What about nonprofit organizations? What about volunteer programs?
If you wrote a really interesting blog about the issues your organization or program seeks to address, would it help you attract more volunteers?

Absolutely!
I think any organization that wants to reach out to an audience or advocate an issue will find few vehicles better suited to the task than a blog.
Thanks for the linkage!
