Managing Your Blog

Look at the dates on your resulting research quarries before folding that information into what you right. Believe it or not, bloggers make the mistake of writing outdated technical instructions to their readers.

Are you planning to make a living at blogging, or just want your own little cubbyhole online to hang out with people of similar interests? You can have both just so you know. The difference is a larger learning curve and lots more work. Monetizing a blog is not simple or easy. But that will be a discussion we will
