I’ve been curious about Blogging for a while now and came across this little gem. Simple explanations of the basics with some great resources. Breezyandbrazen.com

This short book is a good starting point for blogging by someone who began at the beginning of its popularity and continued with multiple blogs as she went along. She focuses on fashion blogging, but many of the points are relevant to anyone. I like that she has a section at the end of each chapter on what she originally did wrong and how she changed to enhance her blog. Easy to read with good pointers.

I picked this book up when I started my blog. It’s easy to read and understand and well organized. If you’re starting out, it’s not a bad place to start.
