Cathy Perkins, the WordPress Wizard, is one of the top experts on blogging, and we are lucky to have her as a regular instructor for DSU with her Blogging 101 class. If you attended either of the Interior Design Summits, you heard many of the speakers share how important blogging is to your business. If you don’t have a website, an inexpensive blog (less than $300 per year for a blog) is a fabulous alternative.
