Lorelle VanFossen has written a remarkable book, Blogging Tips, What Bloggers Won’t Tell You About Blogging, that is well worth the price for beginning and experienced bloggers alike.
In fewer than 100 pages, Lorelle covers every critical area of blogging–strategy, structure and design, content, writing tips, community building, SEO, blog management, and legal issues. She covers not only the what and how, but the why. I like that. And, her explanations of fairly technical issues are laced with a gentle humor that makes Blogging Tips highly readable. Fun and informative is a winning combination.
If you are a beginning blogger, her advice is invaluable. It will help you avoid start-up miscues, many of which are tough to correct later on. As a more experienced blogger, I found her perspective useful in deciding how best to allocate my blogging time. Also, she describes several blogging resources and tools I wasn’t familiar with, but should have been.
If you’re looking for a manual on blogging, look no further. Lorelle’s put all the right stuff in one place. Thank you!
Sounds like a great book!
Something I most certainly need!
Thanks for the recommendation Brad,

Jen, you would definitely enjoy reading this. BTW, congratulations on your Thinking Blogger Award. You are most deserving!
Wow! Thank you for the kind words. I’m especially honored that it came from a fellow Thinking Blogger Award Winner.
The book is written in the form of a checklist, so the blogger can go through the tips and “check” them off. Nothing else like it out there, so I’m really proud of it.
Thanks for sharing it with others!
Hi Lorelle, your book gave me the confidence to switch my blog and website to WordPress – and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks for putting your checklist book together!!
You are so welcome!
