A few weeks ago I asked Facebook if any bloggers were still blogging. I received quite a response from all of you who are still blogging, so I created this Bloggers who Blog list. Feel free to visit all of sites listed here. You may find a new gem! I've been making my way, and leaving a comment, on each of the blogs listed. I hope
This may or may not go anywhere, but this weekend on Facebook I read about a lot of my blogging buddies from days gone by who miss blogging but never take the time to write anymore (maybe because we spend all our time on Facebook?). I learned that a few blogging friends had given up their blogs and that just made me sad. I don't
It might seem like it but I've not killed this blog -- yet. I haven't even thought about killing it because, honestly, I forgot all about it. Sure, the idea that I should update passes through my head when I get notification of spam in the comments, but other than that I haven't thought much about it. I planned on writing, a lot, back in
This week is a great week for those of us who started blogging because we were going to write a book. I say that because two great bloggers have come out with books this week and each of them are not only great reads but inspiration for those of us who have a book but just haven't gotten off our asses long enough to hit
I know I need to update my blog more often and I have 3M Postit Notes all over my monitors with ideas for posts (I'm from Minnesota so we have to say "3M Postit Notes" instead of "sticky notes" like the rest of the world.

I haven't been blogging much lately. No one has, it's summer, Facebook is so much easier and there are only so many things you can write about and I blew my wad years ago by writing every day - sometimes twice. But with the recent development of celebrity naked selfies I just have too much to say. Seriously how dumb is Jennifer Lawrence to take
Bloggers get a lot of advice to do things differently, try harder to get traffic, make more connections, monetize properly, write for SEO, or build a subscriber list. Those of us who write about the craft and business of blogging spend a lot of time thinking about how you can improve your blog and get rewarded financially for your work. You might read online
Take a Look at Yourself Blogging can be very rewarding, and it can also take over your life. It's a good idea to take a fresh look at what you've been doing with your blog, and ask if it is working out the way you'd like. 1. Is there anything I've been meaning to change about my blog that I keep putting off? 2. Have
I was all set to talk about silly songs that are stuck in my head lately but then this story jumped out at me. Apparently a blogger and a union activist are suing AOL and The Huffington Post for $100 million because they didn't pay their freelance writers. I've talked about this on several occasions and firmly believe that these writers who give away their
Yesterday, AOL purchased The Huffington Post for $315,000,000., this was big news all over the internet. Apparently the deal was signed at the Super Bowl. I don't read the Huffington Post often because I don't care for the reporting or the petty tone of their articles and I especially don't like all the name calling going on in the comment sections.
