I’ve been blogging for a month, and I thank you for the comments, the emails, and the feedback. It’s been exciting to meet new friends this way! I’ve never been one to “re-invent the wheel.” So I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:
The best blogging techniques.
How to get traffic to your blog.
How to turn your blog into money.

I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.

   That sounds interesting! Please keep us posted. I read some blogs about blogging, and those are pretty helpful. Copyblogger and Problogger are two of my favorites on the subject.

   I think I might just try this. Maybe we can compare notes?

   Booklady, thanks for the tip about Problogger. I will check that out. I just found Copyblogger last month. It’s filled with great ideas too. I’m glad to find these sites while I’m still fairly new at blogging.

   Barrie, yes, let’s do compare our experiences with the course–and with the things that we try. I’m glad we don’t have to re-invent the wheel!

   I finished the course, Kristi, and will post about it on my blog. But I found it interesting, and the second half more useful than the first half (a lot of the introductory stuff I already knew). Food for thought!

   I’m not finished with the course yet, Sherryl, but we’ll have to compare notes when I get done. I’ll be interested to see what you found the most helpful.

   I’ve now put my comments on my blog. And they led to more thoughts about what people actually want or need from the internet these days. It was a good exercise and got me thinking, but I don’t think the ads thing is for me.

   I will finish checking out the course tonight and hopefully post my feelings and findings on Friday or Saturday. I’ll also put a link to your blog when I put up my comments. You’re an “old hand” at blogging, while I’m new, so the course may strike us in different ways. It will be interesting to see! Hopefully others will post their findings as well.
