Welcome
Hi there, I’m Sean McKeown and I’ve decided (at long last) to test the practice of the virtues of what we at Kilkenny CEB have been preaching about ‘blogging,’ to see if it works for us!?
First and foremost we believe that our blog will help enhance our position as the first stop shop for small business in County Kilkenny.
Second – we hope our blog will provide us with a two-way communication tool to develop our relationship with our clients and prospective clients (i.e. discuss topics and issues, provide tips and insights or receive feedback.)
Third – we foresee our blog helping us to test out our ideas (i.e. we will use it to publish ideas of projects or programmes we feel would be of benefit to our clients and see if it generates interest?)
Last but not least, we hope the blog will improve our search engine ranking!
So that’s what we want out of our blog. Some would say that the first rule of blogging is that “Thou shall post every day!” Well, we are a small group of people at Kilkenny CEB, so we will endeavour to post to the blog and to respond to post as frequently and as quickly as we can! We do want to use the blog as an effective means of engaging with our clients / prospective clients.
So who are our clients / prospective clients? Anyone thinking of starting a business or anyone currently in business in County Kilkenny. We look forward to blogging with you!
Sean.
Chief Executive, Kilkenny CEB.

Welcome to blogland – it’s so fantastic to see more business people blogging and I’ll look forward to the sparring between Kilkenny and Mayo over the coming months!
Thanks for that Annette.
I can assure you that any perceived rivalry is all in the interest of sharing of best practice!
Sean.
Now Now Annette. Naughty Naughty.
In hurling we in Mayo would bow to Kilkenny. In football the shoe would be on the other foot. In blogsville – all will be sweetness and light between us. How could it be otherwise between two such refined individuals, each noted for their co-operative nature!
Sean I’m delighted to see more and more blogs like this coming out of Ireland. Welcome aboard…. subscribed !
You mention search engine ranking Frank, maybe you should have this blog hosted on your main site http://www.kceb.ie at somewhere like http://www.kceb.ie/blog/ or blog.kceb.ie and also some prominent links to the main site would also attract visitors to the blog to check out the main site’s content.
Welcome to the blogoshphere !
Thanks for the encouragement Paul.
Frank is actually my colleague in Mayo CEB.
I appreciate the advice.
sorry for the mixup
you have my email if you ever have any questions of this kind of stuff. I think it’s great that the Kilkenny County Enterprise Board are blogging, let’s hope for more governmental and semi-state bodies will start to use the medium.
keep on bloggin’,
paul
