8 Steps To Follow Before You Publish Your Next Blog Post
One thing that binds us together is our love of blogging. We always look forward to our brainstorming sessions. Our collaboration happens at no particular time and it can even happen when one of us is on a coffee break at work. Inspiration is always there and we make sure we have a pen and paper handy to write it down and; in our case, our notepads are right on our devices ready for idea generation.

We are both active on social media. We enjoy the interaction and the sharing. One social networking platform that we have been learning to use is Google Plus. We were one of the lucky few who got to test it in its early stages and we are still learning our way around it and having fun in the process.
Google Plus maybe viewed by some as another time waster, specially if you are already updating your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Empire Avenue, Flickr and blogs. Today, Google plus has over 43 million users (source) compared to Facebook’s over 700 million users and Twitter’s over 250 million users (source) but is steadily growing.
