Thanks to Grif Wrigley just about every business in his hometown of Northfield, MN is blogging! (Or so it would seem.)

Grif's company, Wigley and Associates, specializes in helping small businesses and other organizations set up and maintain weblogs on their web sites. A quick count of his client list shows over 30 businesses and organizations that are currently using blogs as communication tools for their business.

Admittedly, some are not using the platform with great frequency (Some of the sites I reviewed have posted only a few times over the course of several weeks or months.). Nevertheless, it is refreshing to see one person's passion for weblogging affect his local business community. He is even in the process of writing a book entitled Small Business Blogging - Why and How to Do It. Kudos, Grif! Keep up the good work!!
