their thoughts on about blogs. The poll focused on the First Amendment
rights for bloggers, how credible readers consider blog content and
where blogs fit into small business communication plans. Find the
results and think about where you weigh in here.

“As an artist and children's book illustrator, it is vitally
important to have my site up and running every minute of every day,
each and every day of the year. As I travel through the US visiting
schools, literary festivals, book conventions, libraries, and bookstores,
it is so very refreshing to me that I can count of Hostway to have
my site up and running. Hostway has hosted my site since inception,
and I can't think of anytime that it was down. I can't speak first
hand for any other hosting company, but if I am 100% satisfied with
Hostway, my thinking is, ‘why should I even consider changing
something that works great for my business?' Any time I have had questions,
I contact Hostway via email, and my questions are answered very quickly.
With Hostway, my confidence level is strong, and my plans are to continue
to have Hostway as my site host."
