For journalist Eleanor Turney, a blog is like a shop window, displaying to editors what you can do.

How do you make sure your blog is doing all the right things and enhancing your chances of finding work? How do you get it out there and what does an employer want to see? Is it possible to make money from your blog and even build your career from that basis?

To answer these questions and more, the Guardian has assembled a panel of experts. The free webchat on how to blog to boost your career prospects will take place on September 16 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
