Please nte that this service will nt start until we have at least 10 clients cmmitted t it. As f the date f this dcument, we d nt have enugh clients t start. Cst = 80/mnth Blgging We ve deliberately nt included any wrk arund creating a blg in this particular package f services. Blgging is an imprtant part f yur digital ftprint, but there are a number f pints t it which means it needs a very specific apprach depending n yur type f firm :- One f the keys t blgging is the fact that Ggle sees yur site being updated and getting bigger each week/mnth as yu add pages t the blg. Of curse with ur legal news service this already happens i.e. yur site gets bigger each week as we add fresh cntent. The aim f a blg is t ffer sme pithy, pininated cmments, nt just crprate PR which means that each entry needs t be carefully tailred t yur firm. Yu must keep a blg up- t- date, it s even mre imprtant than keeping a news page up- t- date and this is nrmally the biggest stumbling blck fr yur firm. Yu/the firm start with the best f intentins and then interest wanes and befre lng the updates have stpped. Our preferred blg platfrm is t use WrdPress, the marketing leading, Open Surce blg platfrm. Examples f blgs created in this way are:- http://www.maywynnebaxter.c.uk/ - click n Abut Us - > Blg. Designed t be cnsistent with the main website. http://ip- lawyer.legalblggers.c.uk/ - a blg t run alngside Bnallack & Bishp's intellectual prperty micrsite http://www.intellectual- prperty- lawyer.c.uk http://www.breensnline.c.uk/ - click n News - > Blg.
