I’ve come across some good articles that help explain blogging better than I can. There’s much more out there; these are just a few that I’ve seen in the last week or so.

• Dvorak’s Blogging Primer. This is a good basic article explaining all the elements of a blog — posts, calendar, etc. Be sure to look at the graphic link at the top of the page: Anatomy of a Blog. This one is about the What of blogging.
• Blogs as Marketing Tools. Here’s an excerpt:
  

  Blogs are powerful. Examples of the power of blogs to directly impact consumers are popping up with increasing frequency and intensity.

  This site is the blogging companion to a book called Blog Marketing. I haven’t read it, but it sure looks good. This is about the Why of blogging.

• Creating Blog Evangelists. This post is from Steve Rubel’s Micro Persuasion blog. Steve is one of the first, and maybe is the first, PR person to really understand the power of blogs. His blog is a constant source of informative and inspiring posts for folks interested in working with blogs. Check out the great chart on this post, with blog marketing tactics. This is about the How of blogging.
