Haven't tried blogging yet? Blogs are topic-specific Web sites, or Weblogs, that allow readers to interact by asking and answering questions, leaving comments and responding to the posts of other bloggers in an open exchange of information.

"Our customers told us they want a simple, direct way to share information on energy efficiency and how to save money -- so we responded with our energy blog," said Bruce C. Klink, Dominion East Ohio president. "It offers a high degree of transparency and timeliness and helps us be responsive to issues that interest our customers."

Some of the recent topics on the Dominion blog include: -- Saving time and money and helping the environment through e-billing; -- Making your apartment "green;" -- Calculating your miles driven in dollars, not just miles; -- Getting teens involved in conserving energy; -- Prepping your home for winter, and -- Choosing the right CFL light bulb.

The new blog complements Dominion's Web site, which provides information and tools that can help you figure out how to save energy.
