Article by Wendy McCance
I would like to offer all of my readers a special opportunity. I have always felt that the blogging community was a special one. I have never met so many people who are so willing to support each other and cheer each other on.
Since it is the holiday season, I have figured out a way to promote my fellow bloggers while helping those who need help getting their blogs off the ground.
If you are a blogger who has written an article on any aspect of blogging I want to hear from you. More specifically, I am looking for step by step instructions, lessons you have learned as you have put a blog together, lists of plugins etc… and so forth.
Please leave a comment at the bottom of this post with a link to the article you want to share (not a link to the general website) and a short sentence on what the article is about. Please remember that I am only looking for links related to the how to’s of blogging.
The need to leave the exact article link is so that readers don’t get frustrated searching through an entire blog for a certain article. If you leave a general web address, I won’t be able to use it.
For bloggers leaving a link:
- Link to the specific article ONLY
- Name of the article
- What the article is about
For anyone who is looking to start a blog or needs more information on blogging, my hope is that you will find what you are looking for in the comments below.
If I get enough useful comments, maybe I will put a page together by category so that you have permanent exposure to your site and new bloggers get a wealth of information to look through.
I really do hope this idea takes off. Happy Holidays!

Hi Wendy
I have 4 blogs about different subjects but here are two brief contributions about my experiences with blogging:

Great topics. Thanks Sandra.
Wendy you are always so sweet and generous, trying to offer assistance and help people excel in the blogging community! I haven’t written anything on “how to blog” so I won’t be participating. My things are more generally motivational. I’m only stopping by to show thanks! YOU, my dear, are AWESOME!
Thanks so very much. I really appreciate the kind words. Wishing you the best in 2014!
Thank you so much. I write funny short stories and rants for my Agent 54 Comedy Blog.

This reveals who is really running this planet.
Thanks for your submission, but it has no relevance in helping a new blogger learning to blog.
Oh, I thought the relevance was that I’m a great blogger.
I was leading by example.
Well, next time you need my awesomeness, you know where to find me.
This is a wonderful go-giver idea - wish I thought of it! I had a series of posts about guest blogging, one of the most commented is http://patricia-weber.com/etiquette-responsible-guest-bloggers/ - Grateful for Etiquette of Responsible Guest Bloggers.
Fantastic!! Thanks Pat.

What a perfect post!! Thanks so much for adding this one as well.
Sorry Wendy… I had trouble posting…. here is the link: http://catwriters.com/wp_meow/?p=1226
No problem, thanks for the link.
I wrote a basic 10 tips for bloggers for the Cat Writers’ Association - kind of a “now that you have a blog, how do you promote it and engage readers?”
That’s a perfect article Deb. Thanks so much for sharing it.
This is a good idea, Wendy. Here’s an article of mine that I hope may help someone starting out.
This link includes instructions on installing an icon (gravatar), Recent Posts and Follow by E-mail widgets as well as more general blogging suggestions:

Christine, it was the comment you made earlier that got me thinking this might be a great idea. Thanks for the inspiration and the terrific link!

That’s great Darlene, what is the article about?
It is about the things that I look for on a blog as a reader. It include links to pages with instructions to help bloggers get those items - like the pinterest hover button and follow buttons.
Great!! Thanks so much.
