YOU MAY BE ASKING yourself the question “What is a blog?”
It sounds nasty…like something you wouldn’t want in your home. At least that’s what I thought at first. I later found out that blog is short for weblog. Okay…
“A weblog is a journal (or newsletter) that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the Web site. “
Oh boy, I sure hope that doesn’t mean that the blog will look like me! I can see visitors to the blog dropping like flies. But, after further reflection on the matter, I came to the conclusion that if WindStar’s American Wildlife Blog represents the personality of our new web site and WindStar Wildlife Institute, it will be fine.
Just to make sure, we decided to use the services of John Jantsch of Duct Tape Marketing, the blog guru for small businesses to set-up our blog. It will replace the “Wildlife Habitat Forum” on our former website. The reason for the switch is because a blog format is easier for our visitors to share their wildlife observations and experiences. Plus, there is an opportunity to share your favorite nature photographs.
Anyone can contribute to the blog and we also have a number of WindStar blog reporters to keep the content interesting. We hope that you will visit the blog regularly and contribute whenever you have something to share with other nature lovers.
Tom Patrick
President
WindStar Wildlife Institute
As one of the Institute's leading corporate sponsors, I would like to let you and the birding business industry know this is a terrific blog. We love the way you have involved the Certified Wildlife Habitat Naturalists in your blogging team. It makes it a rich and interesting discussion.
Keep up the great blog.
