Here's an idea to spread the use of blogs - give one as a Christmas gift.

Right now, TypePad.com is offering a special buy one, get one free deal. Get one for yourself, and one to give to a friend. In addition, they are offering special discounts.

Though I am transitioning my blog to SquareSpace.com hopefully by the end of the month, I am still a huge TypePad fan and believe it to be a serious tool for business bloggers.
