There's a useful book I read about it called 'Blogging for Business' by Holtz and Demopoulos. It's not earth-shattering in content but if you are going to put the time in required for weekly updates then it is worth reading.
You are right that people have to spend a little time each week to write a short article or two, but as you highlight you can gain some real benefits.
Shel Holtz is one of the people I often read, or listen to, as he does a podcast with Neville Hobson.
Another writer I'd recommend is Steve Rubel, who has a PR background but also a wide knowledge and understanding of how businesses can use blogs and networks like Landscape Juice.
If people want tips on taking their blog posts on a step or seven then ProBlogger is well worth following.
And use the subscription options all these sites offer to keep in touch with what their owners write, this is so much better than putting them in your favourites as it's the regular little tips and ideas you absorb which will help your business.
