Blogging 101

I have had a LOT of people ask me for blogging help and I love to help new bloggers.

I love to help old bloggers.

I just love to help bloggers, period.

Several people have jokingly (I think) suggested that I host a blogging workshop.

Or write a Blogging Etiquette Book.

I KNOW that I am not an expert blogger.

I also know there are bloggers out there who are WAY more qualified than I am to give Blogging advice.

I know I am not alone in wanting to help fellow bloggers.

The comment threads for a couple of my posts....


...made me realize that y'all had lots to say on the subject too.

So I have decided that I would like to open my blog each Tuesday to fellow bloggers.

(except for the 1st Tuesday of each month because of The Monthly VLOG)

The purpose of these weekly guest posts being..

Photobucket

I will have a few guidelines (of course, since it is MY blog, and my name is Mamarazzi)

But guest bloggers will share a blogging tip, a lesson, if you will.

Fun right?

Please contact me if you are interested in guest posting on a future a Blogging 101, Tips on Tuesday.

If you aren't sure what kind of tip you would like to talk about please see the two posts I linked up earlier in this post.

A more detailed elaboration on ANY of the things listed in those posts is a good start! (:

It's gonna be awesome.

Speaking of awesome...my friend Mandy is having the coolest giveaway EVER...and I want to win. Just thought you should know, not so you could enter, but so you could cross your fingers that I win...cuz I know you all love me like that. Right?

I've already learned so much from reading your blog. Thanks for sharing.

J FAM Blog for the Soul said...

Yessssss!!!

Heather said...

I love to learn tips to be a better blogger!

Kelly said...

Love this:)

Susie said...

That's a great idea! I don't know what I would contribute but I am looking forward to the series:-)

Amber said...

This would be really nice for technical Blogger issues as well, like how to change a theme or how to add a button from another blog. Even just last week someone was mentioning in a confession that they didn't know how to add a button to their entry.

There are even things you can download to record your screen movements to make a video that I used a lot for MS Office tutorials that make technical "how tos" easier to follow.

Really great idea!

mandy said...

This is fantastic news! I cannot wait to pick apart that brain of yours ... errr, I mean, read your tips!

By the way, thanks for posting about my giveaway - super sweet! :0)

Domesticated-Bliss said...

Great idea! Can't wait to read!

Erinsgobragh said...

Cool I can't wait to read this!

Jenna said...

This is a great idea! While I don't have any blogging tips (still learning the ropes myself) I would love to learn more and eventually come and share some tips of my own!

*two thumbs up*

Steph @ Thoughts From Cali said...

This is a great idea! Wish I had some tips but I basically just go with the flow. :)

Amy said...

As ususal you have something awesome to look forward to! Can't wait!

banananutmeg said...

I like this.
I'm too lazy to figure out new things for my blog...but I really need to. I've been neglecting my blog and it needs some serious attention.

Impulsive Addict said...

What a fabulous idea!! I could use some tips! (That could totally sound dirty if we wanted it to)

sarajo said...

My likey this idea a lot! I should probably learn how to blog correctly. Or how to spruce up my page. LOL! Thanks!

Stacie said...

Oooo, this is awesome! The more tips the better, I sometime say :)

Amanda's Mom said...

I'm pretty sure that you came up with this idea with me in mind specifically (Just kidding). Seriously, i went back and read your older posts on the subject and I tried to walk myself through each step to make life easier. I hope I succeeded ;) So, I think you have come up with an excellent idea and I am hoping to continue to learn to do this correctly. And finally, you ARE an expert to me.

MiMi said...

This is great, because even for those of us who have been blogging for a while, we need to remember things! Sometimes I forget what I'm doing and what I need to talk about or should talk about or whatever. Does that make sense??? No? I didn't think so.

April said...

I definitely don't feel qualified just yet to be giving out blogging advice...I still feel like I'm learning my own way...even after 2 1/2 years! I can't read what others have to say, though! I'm certain I'll learn A LOT!

Conni said...

Tips would be great and helpful too.

My biggest blog peeve, I have this blog I check out on wednesdays, and she hosts a linky party, I have linked to some of the players, only to find out ehy have linked that one single post to about 20 other linky parties, really are you that desperate for people to view your blog??


Can't wait for the questions tomorrow!!

Laura@livingabigstory said...

Great idea! What would be kinda cool is to also have different tips for different types of bloggers ... the fun ways, the crafty ones, the more serious ones ...

Thanks for this! I'll definitely be a student.

Beth said...

I love this idea!

I'd volunteer to be a guest blogger, but I don't think I qualify (I always think of myself as a newbie). ;)

Can't wait!

Simply Sara said...

Sounds like a good topic!! I am looking forward to tommorrow's linky party!!

By the way....

You probably have got this before, but I nominated you for the stylish blogger award on my blog!!

becca said...

can't wait need all the help i can get

Natalia said...

What a great idea. Can't wait to hear the tips.

Bridget said...

I can definitely use some new blog tips and ideas, so can't wait! Oh, and I have something for you over at my blog :)

Miss Angie said...

This is a fantastic idea, I'll let you know if I think of anything!

Also, I've left you an award over at my blog, go claim it!

Cynthia said...

I'm sure this could be a whole post but how about recommending that those who want to build a readership on their blog need to show genuine interest in others too? Some bloggers, like my sister, don't care about that and just want to put their story online. And that's okay. But for those who want to network socially or otherwise, to GIVE is the best way to recieve. Law of Attraction and all that. Just 'cause you write it, doesn't mean they'll come!

Forgetfulone said...

I definitely want to participate! I just don't know yet what my tip will be. I'll think about it and probably contact you in the next day or two. Great idea!

Dysfunctional Mom said...

Oooh I wanna guest post. I'm full of peeves. Heh. I can do the blog hop peeve or the word verification peeve. Or one of my 70 million other peeves. =D

Myya said...

GREAT idea!!! I always ALWAYS learn something new when I read one of your "tip" posts. You rock Mama!!!

Brandy@YDK said...

If you want to come up with some kind of tutorial - i'd be more than happy to

Mandi @ Southern Gnome said...

Can't wait to get some great tips. I'm fairly new at this, so it will help a lot.

shortmama said...

Id love to help! Will have to think of something!

Boobies said...

Very cool that you're doing this!

Is it bad that I really want to win your friend's giveaway now? Will you hate me if I enter? ;)
