Hi friends, as I skim through all the social media sites trying to learn blogging, analytics, social media networking, content and apps, I find so many great articles that I want to pass along but as this is a blogging site, I don’t want to clutter it up with just links as I find them.
So, if you’d like, I can be followed on Twitter @crquider and going forward I will try to tag all my posts with great blogging information and tips and tricks with #meLOL so they are easy to find.

Great article on blogging and social media: “How A Great Title Got Me A Link From The New York Times”
Another great article from Jeff Bullas , entitled “How to Start a Blog: Step-by-Step Instructions” – again totally worth the read, which I need to finish up myself but since so many of us have been talking about how difficult it can be for a beginner to get the blog up and running, I thought I’d put this out there quickly to keep it in the conversation.
This doesn’t address WordPress specifically, just blogging, content and marketing your blog in general. It’s quite comprehensive and some of it goes probably into more detail on some things than the average blogger may need but still good info to have so you know the big and small of it and you can take only what you need from it.
I’ll be adding content for each of the Marketing Social Media sites as I learn more info on them.
Below is the bulleted list of steps from the article, please read the article for the valuable detail behind each of these.
STEP TWO – Email Marketing
STEP THREE – Content Marketing
STEP FOUR – Search Engine Marketing
I certainly know I’m guilty of some of these. Great article by Jeff Bullas (@jeffbullas) a master blogger, author and social media master. The link to the full article, well worth the read, is below as are the bullet points.

As a newbie to the blogging thing, I scour the web looking for insights on how best to blog, what to blog about and when and how. This Post by Pauline Cabrera of TwelveSkip (that’s also a Pin) is quite comprehensive – I mean 68 tips – that’s amazing, so I’m adding it here for my review later and for yours! 😉
Thank you to Pauline Cabrera for sharing her wisdom with us!
Enjoy!

I absolutely love this empowering little book – I found it at the thrift store and it was my inspiration for picking up the pen again after more than 30 years; I owe this blog to this book. Thank you Natalie Goldberg for this enthusiastic, humorous, insightful, instructional and motiving little gem of a book.
For more than twenty years Natalie Goldberg has been challenging and cheering on writers with her books and workshops. In her groundbreaking first book, she brings together Zen meditation and writing in a new way. Writing practice, as she calls it, is no different from other forms of Zen practice —”it is backed by two thousand years of studying the mind.”
This new edition, which marks almost twenty years since the original book’s publication, includes a new preface in which Goldberg expresses her trademark enthusiasm for writing practice, as well as a depth of appreciation for the process that has come with time and experience. Also included is an interview with the author in which she reflects on the relationship between Zen sitting practice and writing, the importance of place, and the power of memory.
