Wealth of Information

Before I ordered the book I had no idea of what blogging was all about. After reading, The Huffington Post Complete Guide to Blogging, I learned a tremendous amount of info. The book is clear, concise and to the point with lots of input from various well known people. I highly recommend it.The Huffington Post Complete Guide to Blogging

Blogging is for us shy one's

This book takes you through every facet of blogging from the beginning to the end, and actually makes you realize anyone can do it. The best part is it is all free, unless you choose to spend money on templates or other options, any one person can blog and be heard, this is what I consider true fredom of press, the way it should be. Not just because it's free of any cost, because it is unedited by anyone. The only thing is there is no racial hatred or adult content allowed, this is checked and removed. But for all intent and purposes, who wants to read that type of trash anyway? Not a normal person, that's all! The rest of us can voice our opinions, teach, connect and whatever and do it in this special way. Many people can't speak in a crowd, well now even you can be heard and your opinion is as importatnt as anyone else's. Get this book, it really is a pleasure to read and to understand what this great worldwide web can do for all of us!

The Huffington Post Complete Guide to Blogging

Have you ever thought about starting your own blog? Well, I have. Of course I never did. I guess I lack confidence. Isn't blogging only for professional writers or journalist? Isn't it only for people confident enough to broadcast their message to the entire world? Well, after reading a book I know that it's not the case. Blogging is for me and for you as long as we are willing to share our thoughts with others and build communities based on shared interests. The book won't convince you that blogging is a good way of making money or getting famous: on the contrary. What really matters is to find your own voice, get creative and have fun. So, are you blogging jet? No? What are you waiting for? PS. "See" you on the net. The Huffington Post Complete Guide to Blogging

Great Blog Reference

Whether you are just starting out or are already blogging, this is a great reference. I picked it up for some pointers on how to improve my own blog - www.hawksbillcabin.blogspot.com - one of my resolutions for 2009. I've been following Huff Post since 2005, so all of the history was interesting to read again. I think my favorite tidbit is the Cheney joke by Steve Martin, page 123. There is a lot of good material here,
