You will like this book if:

You are thinking about blogging
You just started blogging
You are unsure about Twitter

This was written casually but to the point. It is filled with good specific guidelines and actual examples. No vague ambiguity here.

It answers the "how-to" question and some of the "why" to blogging. There were some common sense tips, but also info. I had never heard before.

It is also positive and encouraging. I really liked the analogy of blogging to dancing.

It's only $.99 on Amazon, so go ahead and buy it.
