I'm not sure how big the benefit of a blog on your website would be. The three biggest benefits of a blog are easy publishing of regular content, engaging your audience and getting people to comment on your articles, and building a community around your website. <br><br>Your site already does all of this. It certainly would not hurt to add a blog and if you publish it interesting posts it will expand your readership base and boost your SEO. <br><br>Since your website is predominantly news oriented, if you add a blog I'd suggest giving it more personal feel. A stories from around Hawke's Bay as seen by other people for example. Holiday experiences, dining reviews etc. You could get other people to submit their posts to you so you don't have to write them all. I think something like this would work quite well if you can get enough authors to help you with the posts. Hi Max, thank you for asking.
