I get this question a lot. It’s a valid one with a deceivingly simple answer.
For Your Personal/Professional Blog
If you’re blogging about what you do for a living, blog about what you’re learning in your job and how you’ve learned what you’ve learned.
Case studies, anecdotes, and failures are all great things to share.
For Your Company Blog
Blog about people: The people in your company and what makes them great. Your customers and what makes them great. And your industry and why you are sickeningly passionate about it (hopefully it something to do with the above two).
The people in your company should use the above personal/professional guidelines when blogging.

Good tips! I happen to use a blog to chronicle what I've been learning over the course of my recent studies at Boise State. I always wondered what it would have been like 10 or 15 years ago when I was originally taking college courses, pursuing a degree, if blogging as we know it today would have been around. Now I know, and it's been fun recording my thoughts and ideas while I learn.

Posted by jillanderson | 09. Oct, 2009, 12:47 amI definitely think web blogs are one of the easiest coolest forms of knowledge management. Searchable, taggable, RSS enabled and just plain cool.
Posted by tacanderson | 09. Oct, 2009, 5:08 pmThanks Jill,
This post is definitely geared towards business bloggers and I think that news, lifestyle and hobby blogs need to take a different approach. And that's an area I'm, admittedly, not as familiar with.
Posted by tacanderson | 09. Oct, 2009, 5:15 pmOh yes – definitely a different approach. I was merely sharing. Thanks for the reply.
