My first attempt at blogging, I spent most of 2005 developing HomeOfficeVoice into a authority-type blog in the home business sector. In 2006, I put the blog on hold and wrote short pieces on online product and services suitable to my market.
In 2007, HomeOfficeVoice is being slowly brought back and will be aimed at becoming once again an authority blog in the field of home business.
The blog will be shortly re-launched as a bi-weekly column blog, where I gives my views on all things home business, especially with an online flavor.
