I met a wonderful group of people at the Carmanthenshire and promised to blog with the answers to some of their questions.
Q: If you have set up a blog but are new to blogging and RSS, what tools would you suggest I should use?
A: Google Reader as a way of subscribing to blogs.
B: Google Alerts so that you can create notifications of who is talking about your company, about you, about your region maybe or talking about your area of expertise - whatever is important to you. Once these are set up there is an option to receive either an email or RSS subscription of the notifications. When you get notifications, you can click through to the reference, say to your company and leave a follow up comment.
C: Sign up at Technorati. Once you have an account you can claim your blog and also set up a watchlist which is like a Google Alert. Set up a watchlist for the name of your blog and your name, as another way of managing your reputation on line.
