As I train people in Social Media Made Simple, I tell them that they should consider Blogging. Half are excited about the idea the other half are frozen in their tracks.  I know both feelings.

So when I came across a tool to help us all,  I decided to tell the world of my readers.

I just downloaded Zemantahttp://www.zemanta.com/
it's FREE and useful and may actually help your blog grow.

I found out about this tool by reading a notice from one of my LinkedIn Groups.
