Actually I know for a fact that some of the big players are planning
on offering blogs more and more and I really don't think that smaller
businesses can compete. Also, why would a business client need a blog?
Blogs are there to publish daily, if not hourly content, and unless
the client is a news agency, there is not much need for that. So, no,
I never got approached with that request. On the other hand, projects
below £20k are not done here anyways.

Given the sheer amount of blogs out there, I doubt that it does. All
the, ehem, sidework I have done so far was mainly through word of
mouth or simple and straightforward approaches from my side. "Build it
and they will come" is over.
