This documentation aims to provide you with a general overview of your LocalBizBlogs account. The fastest way to get answers to your questions is by posting a question on the community discussion forum. You may also contact LBB Support through the message center in your Dashboard.
A BizBlog is divided into five sections: Business Profile, Blog, Tools, Attributes, and Dashboard.
A Business Profile contains all the basic information about your business, including: name, contact, location, a map, and business hours.

Many businesses use blogs to engage with customers in ways not possible with traditional advertising, and to boost their online presence by building a body of content that relates to their business. LocalBizBlogs provides you with an easy to use publishing platform for incorporating a blog into your business's marketing strategy, reaching people on a more personal level.
What is a Blog? (taken from WikiPedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog)
A Blog, short for "Web Log", is generally known to be a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order (newest to oldest).
Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of most early blogs.


LocalBizBlogs has developed a series of tools to enhance your BizBlog. Think of tools as widgets for publishing content about your business. For example, use the Events Tool to display your business' upcoming events on your BizBlog. Tools make adding new content simple. Tools also allow people to share your content with their friends via email, tapping into their word-of-mouth networks.
Attributes are aspects of your business that define your overall goods and/or services. They help visitors find your business through the LocalBiz Directory, and serve as a quick reference to understanding your business' offerings.



The Dashboard is your main control deck, where you manage your tools, monitor traffic to your BizBlog, read or send messages, and administer your account. The Dashboard appears at the top of your BizBlog only when you are logged in.
Open and close it by toggling the Dashboard button.
