			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Branding is not a logo! Branding is telling a story about a product, person, or organization, and it&#8217;s one of the major keys of success in any business, even blogging. This is the age of the cookie-cutter, template blog, which isn&#8217;t all bad, but there are some tweaks you can make to &#8220;make it yours.&#8221; No matter what platform you&#8217;re using, no matter what design or theme you&#8217;re utilizing, here are some questions you can ask to help in the branding process&#8230;</p>
<ol>
<li>Who are you? What are you all about?</li>
<li>What makes you unique?</li>
<li>What is the unique personality of your business?</li>
<li>How can people learn to recognize you?</li>
<li>How can you shape the perceptions about you that others will form in the first ten seconds they spend looking at your site.</li>
</ol>
<p>Never underestimate the power of branding and of design. Here&#8217;s a great post by Build A Better Blog on the issue of <a href="http://www.buildabetterblog.com/2008/10/blog-blink-test.html?cid=136336453" rel="nofollow">branding your business blog</a>.</p>
