Yahoo gets serious about business blogging

Yahoo announced a deal today that allows bloggers to use Six Apart's Movable Type software to create blogs and host them on Yahoo's Small Business service.

Users get their own domain and business-class Yahoo mail for $12 per month.

Yahoo seems to be making a lot of announcements right now. Business blogging for small and medium sized businesses is a no brainer. In my view blogging should be used as a technology to get web sites up for next to no money that anyone can develop and manage themselves.

Companies should only invest in a more advanced web site and a web designer once they have proven the need through a blog site. Good move by Yahoo. Strange Google haven't done more with blogger.com. Oh well.
