13 Blogging Tips for Research Groups
//Keeping an up to date blog is important as it’s the primary way of getting a message out to the public in an effective and accessible way. Blogs can be shared across the internet and posts on blogs can be used to engage with your audience.

The tool that has helped me do this is the very clever and quite pretty Yahoo Pipes.
