Hi Jamie, some really useful stuff here.
Two things that sprung to mind though - keep your opinions and beliefs to yourself - yes and no. Blogging is blogging whether it’s business or not. Readers like to know something about the author - their values, their way of thinking. That doesn’t mean opinionated or ranting, it doesn’t have to be personal stuff, but it is good to hear what you think about the business that you’re in, what you believe is important about it etc.
The other - the picture… Pictures add a lot but I’m not sure everyone in business likes the thought of sitting down and hand-writing any more… Blogging is much more like writing an e-mail - something that people do day and daily…
Now maybe the association with e-mail isn’t so perfect if people are e-mail overloaded - but maybe it’s a way of breaking down barriers to starting a business blog - “it’s easier than it looks…”

Joanna - Good to see you again this morning. Thanks for the comment, appreciated. Keep your opinions or big rants to yourself, I would agree with that. Personal touch, I covered this a couple of weeks
Adding a personal touch to your business blog
Pictures yes, it helps to break the post up a little, blogs are not books.
Adam - Good idea, I will add this to my list of draft blogs, give you a mention, thanks.
