You can begin blogging immediately with the help of my plain speak blogging tutorial. All I ask is that you leave me a comment if you download this manual and let me know when your blog is up so that I can come and visit. If you found the How to Blog manual helpful, link back to this page so that others can find it too.




I can guarantee that this manual is worth paying for!! With Megan’s fantastic Blog Manual and tutoring, I have set up my blog this year and learned masses. thanks Megan
I definitely have to say – a paid, self-hosted blog is the way to go. It is always annoying having to tell your friends “yea, my blog is at …blogspot.com or …wordpress.com”. It really isn’t that impressive if you can’t OWN your blog.
I have setup well over 30 blogs by now and have gone through the technical setup process so many times I could do it in my sleep : ). If you would like me to set it up for ya, I do it for free.
Happy Blogging!
