Does your business or non-profit have a website, but are not Blogging yet? Or do you not yet have a website, but are curious about how a Blog can drive results? One key fact is that adding content to the web on a regular basis increases the number of leads and your rating in search results.
Whether you are a one-person business or a thriving organization with dozens of staff, studies have shown that the size of the business is not a critical factor when it comes to your Blog being visible online. Blogger Grant Griffiths has put together a great resource based on research that having a blog can bring up to 67% more leads to your business or organization:
Why a Blog is Useful for You, your Business or Organization
- Updating a blog is easier and faster than updating a static website
- Businesses can create unique, target-specific content. Great way to gain Keywords for Searches
- Other bloggers can link to you in their own relevant post, giving you better Search Engine ranking
- Posting to a blog on a regular, consistent basis gives visitors a reason to come back and interact with you and your organization
- Blogging gives you tools to gain visitors, then readers, then subscribers and build trust them to later grow your business

Teach Creativity is a resource website for educators on Creativity, Innovation and Problem Solving. The practical purpose of the website is to allow educators to download resources/lesson plans on specific courses (outlined below), and to share relevant links.
In addition to creative design of the homepage, this website project is also about information hierarchy and organization. The 3 main sections are Creative Advertising, Entrepreneurship, and Post-Secondary. Each of these topics has a both Resources Page and a Blog category for updates assigned to it.

The clean design of the logo aims to represent the Teach Creativity brand as professional yet fresh resource. The text spacing is not too crowded, to allow room for thought and creativity; the all sentence-case letters avoid authority and unnecessary distraction. Green is used throughout the branding as the “creative colour”.
The domains selected were .ca, because of the Canadian origin of the educators, and .info, because thre domain is intended for informative Internet resources.
Homepage design concept features 4 doors, one for each category on the website. Once inside, visitors are taken to a more structurally organized site including search and category features.

An ongoing project is the election campaign of Louroz Mercader, running for City Councilor in Mississauga, Ontario. Mercader’s new campaign logo was revealed at the Campaign Launch in Mississauga on Saturday January 9, 2010.
The logo represents the idea of that Louroz is reaching out as a helping hand to the community. The letter “M” is representative of the name “Mercader” and “Mississauga”, and Mercader’s the “M” identifiable on Mercader’s palm.
The line beneath the “MERCADER2010″ title is designed to be a variable depending on where the logo is placed (e.g. it would contain a campaign slogan, and in many cases the website address: lourozmercader.com).
The colours represent all sides of the political spectrum, and along with the standard red and blue, there are also multiple variations of the logo for various circumstances and audiences (e.g. rainbow for Pride, flags for various ethnic communities).
