Welcome to Small Business Trends radio. I'm Anita Campbell, your host. And I am so glad you could join us today. This radio program is a companion to the Small Business Trends website which you can find at smallbiztrends.com. In a few minutes I will introduce our very interesting guest today, Torsten Jacobi, CEO of Creative Weblogging, Inc.
