Most of the blog items I write start out as comments I make on the various email lists I subscribe to, or as answers to people who email questions to The Worsley Press (often via the comments form on the web site), so very little specific time is spent on creating the blog.
But if you have someone who wants to do it, has the freedom to say what they want, and it is not a directly attributable wages cost, it could just possibly give one of the best returns.
