Blogging, Writing and Social Media Tips for Bloggers
When I announced my book deal writing Blog Design for Dummies, I had some of you tell me that you wanted me to write about the book writing process. Well, this is the post.

If there was an official grammar police, I’m sure I’d be the sheriff. Especially when it comes to punctuation because it’s often overused or used incorrectly. While there are some “rules” you should break from English class (they were only rules for school anyway- not real life writing), using punctuation correctly is a rule you [...]
I know you’ve been told this before but I’ll say it again: proper grammar and spelling matter, even in the blogging world. If that’s a little short on the dramatics, then pretend that statement is in neon-flashing lights for extra emphasis.

If someone came to your homepage today for the very first time, what would they see? A post that really shouts “hey- this is ME and what I blog about!” or a post that whimpers because you wrote it in ten minutes? Oh yeah, you forgot to spell check it too. With each post that [...]
Aaaah English class. You learned about everything from writing a proper thesis statement to how to dig up sources in the depths of the school library. Papers were double-spaced, had one inch margins and followed MLA style (or some other tedious style). Essentially, writing was restrictive. And often quite boring. It’s no wonder there are [...]
Writing is a crazy thing. Some days you love it. Some days you hate it.
