SocialPress, a business social network for South African entrepreneurs will be launching a new feature early next week where members can create their own free blog on the SocialPress network. With this new feature, anyone can become a super blog author!

The new blog will have a dedicated subdomain listed on the SocialPress network such as http://yourblogname.socialpress.co.za. Once you create a blog, all the new blog posts you create on your blog will be visible on the activity stream listed on the home page.

You will also be able to choose a theme and a range of plugins to make your life easier as a super blogger.
