Supporting E-Business Development in the Louisiana Delta


Today, Glenn Dixon and I visited the Common Grounds Coffeehouse in Delhi, LA. We worked with owner, Barbara Thomas, to launch their business blog.

Providing rural entrepreneurs information about how to establish a Web presence (e.g. blogs, websites, etc.) is part of the Rural Entrepreneurship Initiative within the Louisiana Delta Initiative.



Part I - Glenn Dixon demonstrates how to access free blogs that business owners can use to establish a Web presence.



Part II - Dr. Barnes demonstrates how to setup a free blog using Blogger.Com and how to administer the blog including design and structure of business content about products and services.

Accessing Global Markets is key for growing rural businesses in Louisiana. The Louisiana Delta Initiative is coordinated by the LSU AgCenter's Delta Rural Development Center (DRDC) located at Oak Grove, LA. For more information about the DRDC, visit http://www.lsuagcenter.com/drdc.
