This week I’ve selected Blogging Without A Blog by Barbara Swafford. She discusses blogging and provides information based on what she’s learned through her own blogging experience. Not only has she created a strong community but she highlights them in her posts and pages. Last Friday she asked what we would be doing if we weren’t blogging and she then integrated our answers into today’s article and linked back to our sites. I was surprised to be listed because I had just visited her site and commented for the first time last week.
Barbara ends each article with questions that make you think about why you are blogging, how in enhances or detracts from your life, and what we can all learn from each other.
And for me, at least, she compels me to open myself up more and tell somewhat personal stories about why I blog and what it has done for me.
In Barbara’s own words her site is about;
“Follow me down the path of blog creation. I’ll share lessons I’ve learned, hints and tips to make blogging easier, and links to great sites that both inspire and teach you more about blogging. “
If you are interested in blogging, want to become part of a supportive community and learn more about yourself, I highly recommend adding this feed to your feed reader.
