admin — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:43:41 +0000

I’m so excited to share a very special announcement about my dear friend and bloggy mentor, Metropolitan Mama. Her first ebook has just been released and it is goooood!

Stephanie has been blogging since 2007 and shares the wisdom she’s learned over the years. The information in this book is pertinent, practical and extensive.

If you are concidering starting a blog and have a laundry list of questions, this book is for you.

If you are a new blogger and would like to take your blog to the next level, this book is for you.

And if you are a blogger looking to monetize your blog but aren’t quite sure how to approach companies and PR agencies, then this book is for you.

So what I’m saying is…if you are a warm blooded humanoid, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.

As a blog designer I get asked so many questions about basic blogging practices…”What is a blogroll?” “What is an RSS feed?” “What blogging platform should I use?” Stephanie does a superb job answering not only basic questions but overarching, general ones as well.

Its a must read for bloggers, so Go. Check. It. Out!

I have a special little treat to add to this weeks stroll. Consider it a sale, free with purchase, or a 5 dollar bill you find on a sidewalk, sort of thing. I was looking for a vintagey (that’s a word, right?), shabby chic kind of Twitter button. And low and behold, Google as I might…I couldnt find one. So I made my own. That lead to an RSS button and then I had to round it off with an email button.

So if this look suites your design, feel free to use it. Go ahead, really. Its quite alright…

Now onto our little stroll. Lets go!
