We lay out why launching a blog can be a great idea -- and why it might not be right for you! We also share some best practices and content ideas for those who decide to take the plunge into the blogosphere.

At Firesteel, we experiment with a lot of new media tools as we advocate for an end to homelessness. The purpose of the Spark Change podcast is to share what we've learned, and to help other advocates use these tools. Visit http://firesteelwa.org/ to learn more and share your feedback.
