Had an email in recently from a chap called David Hendley, drawing my attention to the Tankard Blog, a blog dedicated to all things Tankard. It's basically a front for www.tankardstore.com, a webstore that specialises in pewter tankards. Normally I'd shy away from talking up an obvious ad-blog, but I'm making an exception for this one.

That's because as well as flogging his tankards, David has also posted a couple of interesting articles on Tankard history, and one rather useful piece of advice on how to clean a pewter tankard without completely ruining it. Handy if you've got a grotty old pewter pot hanging around than could do with a bit of care and attention (I thought I had one myself, but I've just flipped the thing over and it says 'stainless steel' on the bottom, so that's going in the dishwasher after all...)

So there you go: a good example of how to use a blog to sell your products without just yelling "buy this!" at every opportunity and hoping for the best.

Having trouble finding any related posts... stay tuned.
