Devoted disciples will know that Guru was recently made aware of an internet phenomenon known as blogging. His subsequent research revealed that the word blog derives from the term 'web log', a user-generated website where entries are made in a journal style and displayed in reverse chronological order.
The idea appeals to Guru, as it will allow him to share his wisdom with his disciples in a more immediate and interactive way.
The problem with blogging is its image. Traditionally, according to one unnamed editor, bloggers have been seen as "w*nkers in pyjamas who like to write about their cats". Indeed there are now thought to be 60 million blogs in existence - so that's an awful lot of soggy nightwear and useless feline facts.
But Guru is now on a one-man mission to take blogging mainstream with his new Guru Blog.

Great blog with high quality articles. I like the piece on the Plain English Campaign & Crystal Mark. Blogs should always be easy to read and cut out the business / HR babble that most companies use. Another cool blog that has launched is http://www.secretarialblog.co.uk It's a blog aimed at passive jobseekers in the PA / Office worker sector. However has interesting benefits for HR.
