This podcast is a recording of the Blogging for Technical Communicators webinar that I gave to the STC-Rocky Mountain chapter on February 19, 2009. I split the recording into two parts due to length. This first half covers the following four topics:

The Blog as an Expected Format
Why Bother to Blog?
Search Engine Optimization: The #1 Perceived Value of Blogging
The Most Difficult Part of Blogging: Generating Content Regularly

Here's the accompanying PowerPoint visual.

Note: After you listen to Part 1, be sure to continue to Part 2.
