Finding Your Voice
A big hurdle that prevents many professionals blog starting a blog is the lack of confidence that they will have something to say on a regular basis. I would of had the same concern if it were not for my obsession the Mazda Miata.
Creating localized searches for your blog
How would you like to easily create a search engine for your blog that only searches the web sites you want it to? Only sites from restaurants in your neighborhood, insurance agents who refer business to you, and real estate content from the only site that matters, your own. How would you like to do it for free?

Rollyo search engine
Folks with local blogs may appreciate this tool. It's a custom search engine
that allows the creator to choose which URL's it searches from. I like
