Many friends and family members have been asking me about my blogging adventures since I first introduced them my spinning world online.
I always wanted to blog, I have a lot of things to talk about and things to share, but I had no idea how to get started. I could see by reading other blogs that I had to have an about me page and my first post had to be one that would drive people to my blog, etc. What I didn't know was that I also needed to pay attention to a million other little details to make my blog more successful.
I admit, I am my worst critic. Still today I question what I write about and whether or not anyone would be interested. It is nice to see visitors stopping by and leaving comments. However, I have to say that without taking a blog writing course and the help of the formerly known Black Belt Blogger I don't think I would be where I am today with my blog. The Blog Writing Course is an excellent way to get started if you have never blogged or to improve your skills and your readership if you are a vet blogger.
The course is online, interactive, and fun with a lot of personal attention given to each student. There are many courses out there, I'm sure, but I recommend the one that will put your name on the web map and make you feel proud of your accomplishments from day one.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
Stay Well,
interesting!
Id never seen this course....

Miz: For me it was a great course because it helped to have someone outlining things for me, what to do first, then second, etc. It also helped to have other classmates give feedback on the progress of our blog before the world has access to criticize. It really was a useful course.

I was a little nervous to start my blog. I researched for a long time before I started and these two references helped me immensely: "Naked Conversations" (a book) and problogger.net (a website).
Have a great day.

SpinDiva - Thanks for the plug. One point on our course. I feel that anyone could do the research to start a good blog or just learn by trial and error. The point of the course (which has changed a little) is to help people learn joyfully in eight easy weeks what would take longer and be more difficult on your own. Also, you start with all your classmates as your initial peer group of online blog friends. They both give and solicit feedback so you get a big headstart on building a community and readership.
